DPCW_1038 : United Generations Campaign

Intergenerational solidarity, a chance to grow together!

 

On October 7, 2023, the HWPL volunteering team conducted a campaign to raise awareness on the isolation faced by elderly people and to promote the importance of an intergenerational link.

 

This campaign was held at Place de la Bastille in Paris, France.

 

This event entitled

 

“United Generations Campaign : Intergenerational solidarity, a chance to grow together !”

 

was held during the Blue Week (national week for pensioners and the elderly) to commemorate UN International Day for Older Persons.

 

HWPL France Branch has been developing the United Generations initiative by conducting activities to foster dialogue, experience sharing, and participate in activities between different generations for a better understanding of and care between people from different ages and backgrounds. In 2023, HWPL youth volunteers have conducted more than 7 activities with young volunteers in 4 different retirement houses.

 

Through the campaign, about 80 citizens could experience various booth activities. They participated in the photo exhibition about HWPL activities in retirement houses and wrote 56 letters to isolated elderly people.

Participants complimented these HWPL volunteering activities and 30 people decided to join the organization by becoming members of HWPL

 

One of the participants said, “This initiative reminds me when I got involved in volunteering when I was a student. I think the message of the campaign is important because we’re so caught up in the routine of our daily lives and we often forget to be human.

Also, we forget that there are elderly people who are isolated and would like to receive even a little attention. Moreover, I think it’s smart to raise awareness of peace, by tackling an issue that doesn’t seem related to peace at first glance, but it draws attention to a vulnerable group and then raises awareness of the greater cause which is peace.”

 

💚💚💚

The letters collected through this campaign will be distributed to elderly people with no close relatives or who can’t often spend time with their family.

 

To combat the isolation and develop this intergenerational link, the elderly people will also have the opportunity to reply to the letters.

 

International Day of Banks 4 December

The Principles for Responsible Banking

 

 

The Principles provide the framework for a sustainable banking system and help the industry to demonstrate how it makes a positive contribution to society.

They embed sustainability at the strategic, portfolio and transactional levels, and across all business areas. 

In the year since the launch of the framework, the signatories to the Principles for Responsible Banking grew from 130 to more than 190 banks representing more than a third of the global banking industry and around 1.6 billion customers worldwide.

 

To celebrate the first anniversary of the launch of the Principles for Responsible Banking, signatories and civil society have shared their thoughts and experiences one year on!

DPCW_1038 : Global Peace Education Conference

Since 2017, HWPL has been collaborating with education ministries and institutions to provide peace education to children and young adults. HWPL has been pouring in efforts to promote institutionalizing peace to ensure that peace takes firm roots.

In particular, the Global Peace Education Conference of the 9th Anniversary of the September 18th HWPL World Peace Summit held in Incheon, South Korea, served as an opportunity to discuss sustainable and effective means to spread a culture of peace and firmly establish peace.

 

To transit toward peace from today’s era smeared by war, what should we show and teach to the younger generation?

 

HWPL proposes the direction for peace education with peace-related materials that will help foster peace.

Peace education is a crucial process to institutionalize peace and help with its settlement.

 

That is why each government should be responsible for promoting the institutionalization of peace by implementing a system to effectively implement peace education.

 

The first part of the conference presented the direction in which the education sector should move forward to promote the institutionalization of peace.

International Day of Persons with Disabilities, 3 December

The United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy

When launching the United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy in June 2019, the Secretary-General stated that the United Nations should lead by example and raise the Organization’s standards and performance on disability inclusion—across all pillars of work, from headquarters to the field.  

The United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy provides the foundation for sustainable and transformative progress on disability inclusion through all pillars of the work of the United Nations. Through the Strategy, the United Nations system reaffirms that the full and complete realization of the human rights of all persons with disabilities is an inalienable, integral and indivisible part of all human rights and fundamental freedoms.

 

In August 2023, the Secretary-General submitted his fourth report on steps taken by the UN system to implement the UN Disability Inclusion Strategy in 2022.

World Television Day 21 November

<Climate Change Hits Home in the USA | Troubled Waters>

Television continues to be the single largest source of video consumption. Though screen sizes have changed, and people create, post, stream and consume content on different platforms, the number of households with television sets around the world continues to rise.

 

The interaction between emerging and traditional forms of broadcast creates a great opportunity to raise awareness about the important issues facing our communities and our planet.

 

#INTERNATIONAL_DAY #UN #COMMUNICATION_TOOL #TECHNOLOGY

In the 21st century, what is the purpose of a TV?

 

It's not just a one-way channel for broadcast and cable content anymore. Modern televisions offer a wide range of multimedia and interactive content, such as streaming videos, music, and internet browsing.

 

Despite the shift in audiovisual content consumption to different platforms and the constantly evolving technology, TV still remains an important communication tool.

 

#TV #PEACE #DPCW_1038 #HWPL #WARP_OFFICE

As the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization reminds us, World Television Day is a celebration of how television has become a symbol of connection and globalization in the 21st century.
