- A simultaneous, on location, event, geared at raising awareness for peace. It also demonstrates humanities capacity to work together and achieve our common goals across continents. Each youth organization will aim to host their own 10km walk - “In their Shoes”. Previously MANNAM International Volunteer Association hosted such events annually, or biannually to aid countries suffering from the devastation caused by natural disasters. Included in the awareness campaigns, messages of peace, hope and support were sent from our volunteers participating in the 10km walk. This year we will do the same but aim entirely at world peace. Photos and video footage from the events being held internationally will be sent back to the MIYC headquarters in Seoul, South Korea where we will combine all the material and distribute it to the public and international media. The “Unique Unity” fingerprint quilt will be flown over the start/finish-line of the 10km held by the MIYC headquarter organization, MVA, as a symbol of agreement between all the coalitions parties.
“In their Shoes” has been aired on International news broadcasting stations in 2011, and through this event MIYC will reach not only their direct communities but also the entire globe, with news of their campaigns for peace.
Objectives:
- Crossing cultures, languages, religions and races to walk side-by-side in peace.
- Raise awareness on an international level.
- Set an example in striving toward peaceful co-existence.
