Participants at the HWPL programme on peace declaration.

An international non-governmental organisation (NGO) under the United Nations Department of Public Information (UN DPI), Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), co-hosted a peace culture campaign titled ‘Walk & Talk to prevent Violent Extremism’ with local community and international youth associations in about 85 cities and 43 countries including Beijing, New York, Paris, Seoul, Sydney, and Tokyo, recently.

Today, the global community is facing widespread extremism that accompanies violence with radical views, which has become a great concern on stability and prosperity of the globe.

National governments around the world have responded to the contemporary issues of extremism by domestic policies and international cooperation on security and education.

Along with the national efforts, international NGOs have been organizing campaigns to raise public awareness on the need for peace and tolerance and further to prevent violent extremism.

In his congratulatory speech, Chairman, HWPL, Man Hee Lee called for global cooperation on peace building, saying, “Who can bring about peace while we stand still? By putting an end to war, a world of peace can be established.” He also stressed the need for civic participation to “make an end to war and establish a world of peace as a legacy for future generations, which is the very task of every one of our global family.”

In the event, through conversations on values and beliefs the participants have, the time for reflection is given to understand how their beliefs are internalized based on the peaceful values and how their actions can follow in accordance with their faiths.

Sara Florian, a graduate student who takes part in this event, said, “My country Guatemala suffered from internal conflict for about 30 years. I grew up listening to the stories of the war from my parents and the devastation is still widespread in many parts of the country as psychological and physical damage even today, 20 years after the end of the conflict.

We need to take steps forward to transforming our ideas into communication for a world of peace in the future. That way, we can heal the scars the war left. I hope that the time for reflection like this event can continue to develop the pursuit of peace in our times.”

At the end of the event, the participants gathered together for a peace walk. The Director of IPYG, Duhyen Kim,emphasized, that “IPYG has been working with intergovernmental groups, NGOs, and youth associations globally undertaking projects concerning youth development and peace education.

“The youth of today are awakening, I myself, have witnessed the world as it is, and do not accept this as my reality. We are made for better things, the world can become a better place.”

The campaign traces back to 2013 when the Declaration of World Peace drafted by HWPL witha slogan of ‘Leave peace as a legacy to future generations.’
