Welcome to walk for peace on the eve of UN Day, October 23, 2025, at 5 PM! The annual interfaith peace walks have become a wonderful tradition in celebrating the UN Day. This year, the event will be held simultaneously in Turku, Tampere, Joensuu, Jyväskylä, and Oulu.
The interfaith peace walk is a sign of friendship and a desire to promote peace in Finland and the world amidst wars and polarization. Different religious and worldview based communities can live in harmony side by side and create security in our society.
This year we walk for a better future. Supporting the weakest is a central part of the teachings and life of many religions and worldviews. Communities create security for every day. Their importance is emphasized especially when one needs support or direction.
Religions are not just spiritual institutions but also active social actors that support those in vulnerable positions. With the peace walks, we want to remind that community and supporting each other are also means to influence and change society for the better.
Routes, speakers, and detailed programs in different cities will be confirmed later. All representatives of religions and worldviews, as well as non-religious people, are warmly welcome to join!
