United World Week Semana Mundo Unido
We are the Youth for United World from the Focolare Movement, founded by Chiara Lubich. We are from different countries, cultures and religions united by the commitment of living for universal fraternity according to the Golden Rule:
“Do to others what you want them to do unto you; don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do unto you”.
We start at a local level in our own cities, by developing projects to face the problems we find around us. But we always refer to a global horizon, projected towards universality, linking the world through fragments of fraternity. On top of that we are not afraid to get involved at a political level to propose concrete solutions to global challenges.
Since 1996, we have been organizing the United World Week annually. In 2012, we launch the United World Project, where, together with the New Humanity Movement, we create a global network of fraternity actions in many different fields.
Our work has two main directions:
– dialogue – building unity through recognition of cultural or religious diversity
– participation – We team up with other associations, movements and institutions, that share our goals and values, to make an impact in different fields: politics, economics, interreligious dialogue, sustainability, sports, education, communications, science, and health.
...
The United World Week, part of this big project, is an opportunity to propose fraternity initiatives to institutions and influence public opinion in the countries where it is developed. This is an experience that awaits official ONU recognition.

One of this week's actions was a VIGIL FOR PEACE on May 9, with Our Lady as a model of peace.
"Our dream is to see a culture grow with life and fraternity values."
Can you do it?
