Every year on September 21, we celebrate the International Day of Peace with our "Say Hi For Peace" campaign . As travelers, we have the power to cross cultural boundaries and promote tolerance. ๐โจ
Since 2013, Hostelling International has been mobilizing its global network of hostels to encourage peace and intercultural dialogue. This year, we're focusing on "Cultivating a Culture of Peace", a theme that emphasizes the importance of education, empathy and openness to others. ๐ฌ๐ค
Once again this year, the Youth Hostels of Wallonia-Brussels and the HI Flanders network are joining forces for a major clothing drive in aid of the non-profit organization Les Petits Riens. From September 21 to 30, you can drop off your donations (clothes, accessories, textiles) at our hostels. A great way to help those in need, while giving a second life to your belongings. โป๏ธโค๏ธ
โ How do I get involved? โ Bring your clothes to one of our participating inns. โ Encourage your friends and family to do the same. โ Share the initiative on social networks with #SayHiforPeace.
Every gesture counts and can make a difference! ๐ค
Throughout September, HI hostels around the world will be organizing events to promote peace: solidarity walks, creative workshops, inspiring musical playlists... Everyone can take part in their own way! ๐ถ๐จ๐ถโโ๏ธ
