The World Moves for #IamPEACE
Thank You World, for Moving for Peace
To everyone who walked, stood in silence, held a hand or opened a conversation - thank you. Across 140 cities in 41 countries, more than 20,000 people came together through 242 simultaneous events, showing that peace is not just an idea we believe in, but something we can create together.
Whether you joined a peace walk, a silent human chain, a dialogue or a gathering of children, art and music, you brought the spirit of #IamPEACE to life into your own community, And together, you made that spirit felt across the world.
Every step taken and every moment of stillness carried the same message across borders, languages and generations - peace begins within us, and it grows when we stand together.
From all of us at ISCTH, our deepest gratitude. The movement belongs to you, and we walk on together, One World, One Family.
