20261109 Weltweite Friedenswelle

Worldwide Peace Wave

This year, once again, there will be a 24-hour wave of peace on December 12. For the fifth time, this year on December 12 — Human Rights Day — people who are committed to world peace will share content promoting peace on their websites and social media.

Depending on where in the world you are, you’ll once again be able to find the global 24-hour Peace Wave online on December 11 or 12 this year. For 24 hours, posts from around the globe on the topic of peace will be featured. The Peace Wave begins on Saturday, December 12, at 9:00 a.m. Beijing Time (2:00 a.m. CET). All local times can be found here.

Videos of the Peace Waves from previous years can be viewed on the WorldBeyondWar website.

The Fourth Wave of Peace visited dozens of locations worldwide and included rallies, concerts, artwork, blood drives, the erection of peace poles, dances, speeches, and public demonstrations of all kinds.

The third Peace Wave took place during the RIMPAC military exercises in the Pacific and shortly before protests against the NATO meeting in Washington in July 2024.

The second Peace Wave took place on July 9, 2023. That date also marked the anniversary of the day in 1955 when Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell, and seven other scientists warned that a choice must be made between war and human survival.

The first Peace Wave took place in June 2022, coinciding with the G7 summit from June 26 to 28 near Munich and the NATO summit from June 28 to 30 in Madrid, focusing on peace and cooperation as well as the reduction and dissolution of military alliances.

This year, there will once again be videos from around the world featuring peace actions from 2026. Each hour will include 40 minutes of video footage and 20 minutes of live discussion. Join us!
