The International Day of Living Together in Peace is celebrated on May 16.

It is a day dedicated to listening to, appreciating, and respecting every individual.


After the Second World War, instead of fostering division, the United Nations began playing its role in building a peaceful and sustainable world.

How is this day celebrated? Every year, UNESCO observes this day. The United Nations declared the year 2000 as the “International Year for a Culture of Peace.”
