1. 🌈 A Worldwide Peace Festival: 94 Locations, 61 Countries

Wow, what a global event! 🌐 This year, HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) hosted its 12th Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace all over the world—from South Korea to the Netherlands, from Malaysia to dozens more countries!

  • 🌍 10,000+ citizens + 1,600 public figures joined in
  • 🎥 Events happened both offline (86 cities) and online (8 virtual spaces)
  • 👟 The iconic Peace Walk returned, with people walking together for peace like one big family

And the best part? Everyone—from kids to elders, from students to public leaders—walked side-by-side with a shared dream: 🌿a world without war.


2. 📜 A Declaration that Keeps Inspiring

Did you know the Declaration of World Peace was first announced back in 2013? It happened right in front of the Peace Gate in Seoul with 30,000 youth cheering for peace! 🎉

The message back then was simple but powerful:
👉 “Let’s all become peace messengers!”

Every year since then, cities around the world have hosted Peace Walks and events to keep that dream alive. And this year was no different! 💪


3. Korea’s Special Campaign: Peaceful Unification on the Horizon

South Korea added a beautiful twist to the celebration 🕊️💞
Under the theme “Future of Peace and Prosperity: Free Travel on the Korean Peninsula,” peace events were held in 12 major Korean cities like Seoul, Daegu, Busan, and Jeonju.

  • 🚉 People joined in Peace Train experiences from Seoul Station to Pyongyang Station
  • 📝 Families wrote heartfelt messages and letters hoping for reunification
  • 🎭 Cultural events like musicals, orchestras, and choir performances brought everyone together
  • 📸 Peace photo zones and pledge corners made it fun, emotional, and interactive

It wasn’t just fun—it was meaningful. Families separated by borders shared their stories, and people across generations came together to understand why peaceful reunification matters so much. 💔👵👧

4. ✨ Moving Forward—Together

  • 🕊️ Expand peace education in schools, homes, and communities
  • 🏛️ Promote international law for peace and no more wars
  • 🤝 Foster interfaith harmony—because peace starts when we understand each other

So let’s keep marching. Let’s keep sharing the message. Let’s build a peaceful future, one step at a time! 💖👣🌎

A Movement for Unity & Hope!

HWPL, an international peace NGO linked with the UN, is leading a national campaign called “Together: Connecting Korea.” 🌏 This campaign brings together 170+ civil society organizations to:

🔹 Expand social & cultural exchanges between North & South Korea 🎭🎶
🔹 Strengthen understanding & education on reunification 📚
🔹 Develop a framework for legal & institutional support for peace ⚖️

One of the event speakers emphasized the importance of dialogue over force in achieving reunification. “Free movement of people is the fastest path to reunification,” he said. And that’s exactly what this campaign is fighting for! A Korea that stands as a monument to peace, for future generations to celebrate! 🌿✨


🏛️ Legal Blueprint for a Unified Korea

But wait—there’s more! A Unification Constitution is in the works! 📜💡

✅ Establish a peace-driven democratic system 🕊️💙
Protect the rights & welfare of all Korean citizens 🇰🇷

The ultimate goal? To create a stable, peaceful Korea that contributes to global harmony. 🌍💞
