TEENS 4 UNITY PRESENTS: SPORT SOCIAL ARTS 4 PEACE SUNDAY 8 MAY 2016 5 th edition of the worldwide relay race Let's show our worldwide commitment to bring unity to the entire human family Time Out for Peace at 12: 00 noon a minute of silence or prayer for Peace As the baton passes from one time zone to the next it offers an opportunity for exchanges between the places involved. At different latitudes, sporting events, acts of solidarity and experiences of active citizenship get under way, especially in places where solitude, poverty and marginalization still prevail. Personalities from the world of sport and culture, and civil and religious authorities will take part in some cities. THE AIM OF RUN 4 UNITY IS TO EXPERIENCE PEACE AND THE UNITY OF THE HUMAN FAMILY DURING THIS DAY, AT LEAST, AND TO PROMOTE THE GOLDEN RULE (ETHIC OF RECIPROCITY) AS A MEANS FOR ACHIEVING THIS. The Golden Rule* "Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you” * Find out how it's written in the various sacred books. The Golden Rule is an ethical principle that is present in nearly every culture and religion. It is a simple, but profound, formula. We want to put it into practice every day to build peace wherever we are. www. run 4 unity. net

Hashtag for PEACE Let's show our commitment to peace by posting a photo on social networks with hashtag #4 Peace A photo with two or more people crossing fingers to form the hashtag sign, a “hashtag for Peace”. LINK CULTURES Un camino para la paz Sport can promote authentic values of sharing among children and young people and help to address social concerns. All this happens by taking part in a game, a sporting activity, a race or team work. Participants are encouraged to develop an attitude of fair play, communication and interaction through mutual respect and help, attention toward others and learning to listen, honesty while adhering to game rules and asking forgiveness for one’s mistakes, etc. The lifestyle discovered while playing and practising sport becomes an incentive to take on a similar commitment in everyday life in the hope of building a society based on peace and cooperation. In partnership with sportmeet Universal fraternity is possible because we have seen that we can build it despite language or cultural barriers. Our society is full of challenges: the lack of communication, discrimination, inequality, corruption, the fragmentation of society and marginalization of refugees and immigrants, to name but a few. When we go towards the culture of another person and make a gift of our own, we are able to highlight the seeds of peace in each one. We invite everyone to live as active citizens in a world on its way to a just, fraternal and peaceful future. Living Peace Run 4 Unity will be the final event of the year for the Living Peace Project which was created to experience, educate and promote a culture of peace. Currently 100, 000 children, teens and adults from over 500 schools and 20 international organizations in 110 nations are involved in building a world "network" of peace. This final event will be an incredible opportunity to witness this common commitment to peace with experiences, workshops, and artistic performances. Teens for Unity is part of the Focolare Movement which is present in 182 countries. We are teenagers from different cultures, different religions and some of us have no religious beliefs. We are united by one goal: to make universal brotherhood a reality by involving many others in this project. Let's build this worldwide network together www. run 4 unity. net
