"Empowering Young People to Promote Dialogue and Peaceful Communities"
Kisii University, Kenya
On 21 September 2026, the world will commemorate the International Day of Peace under the United Nations theme "Invest in Peace – For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day."
As Kenya prepares for the 2027 General Elections, young people stand at a crucial crossroads. We are mobilizing over 2,000 participants as responsible citizens, proactive peace-builders, and trusted mediators.
The silence is intentional. It is a public peace statement.
We remember those affected by violence.
We honour victims without sensationalising suffering.
Demonstrating that strength does not require aggression.
We walk together despite our different identities.
Recognising our actions can escalate or prevent conflict.
We believe Kenya's future can be different.
A solemn 2-hour candlelight ceremony honouring victims of conflict and violence across Kenya — a moment to pause, reflect, and commit to a different future.
“Remember the people. Remember the pain. Remember the lessons. Choose peace.”
Over 2,000 participants march through Kisii town in intentional silence — a powerful public statement that peace speaks louder than words.
Transformative on-campus activities that cement the 2026 peace legacy at Kisii University — from tree planting to the national Peace Pledge signing.
A hybrid panel discussion broadcast nationally — featuring youth leaders, NCIC, the Kenya Scouts Association, and civil society in a candid national dialogue.
