Ride for Peace

This year, we are partnering with Peace One Day for our first Ride for Peace.

July 20, 2021

Event

Peace One Day’s goal is to institutionalise Peace Day 21 September. Throughout the years, millions of people have been active on Peace Day in every country of the world. Hundreds of organisations have carried out life-saving activities in areas of conflict.

This year, we are partnering with Peace One Day for our first Ride for Peace.

Get on your bike for a safe and peaceful journey, and raise awareness of Peace Day.

Cycle with friends, classmates or colleagues and explore your local area. Let’s celebrate this wonderful world together, and commit to reduce violence. Grab your bike and head out to explore local spaces, talking and making peace along the way.
