2016 R4U News 01-it_Page_1From 11 am to 12 noon in all the time zones, children throughout the world will run for peace (a stretch of the itinerary will be done on foot or by bike, roller skates, and canoe) with an extraordinary passing of the baton, from the cities situated in a preceding time zone to another. How? Through a phone call, or text message or at least “ideally linking up” with the others.

12 noon is the Time-Out, a minute of silence or prayer for peace. The day on which the Run4unity will be held will be called “World Day of the Golden Rule”: upon putting it into practice and promoting it, we will silently but effectively build Peace and a more united world.

The web site http://www.run4unity.net is the tool which will highlight the world demonstration, in continual connection with social media, to allow all the boys and girls to be active in building and spreading the Event. There have been four international editions of this project: in 2005, 2008, 2012 and 2015.

The R4U event is really quite unique since it links kids throughout the world, and who in a time span of 24 hours, from one time zone to the other, undertake to achieve a sole objective: unity of the human family. This explains the great interest of the mass media, and civil, religious and political authorities. Run4Unity is part of the activities of the United World Week and United World Project.
