Every year on May 16, the International Day Of Living Together In Peace is celebrated around the world to promote peace, inclusion, tolerance, understanding and solidarity. The first time the day was recognized in 2017 by the United Nations General Assembly. The objective of the day is to maintain the desire to act and live together (united in diversity) in order to build a world of peace and harmony.



Today, we are facing the most challenging crisis that is COVID-19. It threatens the maintenance of international peace and security that leads to an increment in social unrest and violence. It is time to bring hope to those who are most vulnerable. Over 100 Member States, religious organizations and more than 200 civil society groups are included to be a part of this help.



The objectives of Learning to Live Together are:



1. To strengthen the capacity of children and young people to make well-grounded ethical decisions based on values that promote respect for other cultures and beliefs.



2. To empower children and the younger generation to engage in dialogue – to listen and to talk – as a means of developing a greater sensitivity to differences and an understanding of others.



3. To nurture children’s and young people’s ability to respond to the needs of their societies with an attitude of reconciliation and respect for diversity and to contribute, in this manner, to a culture of peace.



4. To allow children and young people to appreciate and nurture their spirituality.



5. To provide tools for educators to work with intercultural and interfaith learning in different regions and in diverse settings.



6. To develop and promote successful practices for living together with people of different cultures, ethnicities, beliefs and religions.



We must act – urgently and collectively – to build a future for all of us where we can live together in peace.
