## Minute for hope 9 mei

We warmly invite schools in your country to take part in the international campaign Minute for Hope, taking place on Thursday, May 9th, 2025 at 12:00 (noon).

This campaign calls on schools and communities across Europe and beyond to pause for one minute and carry out a small act of hope – together.

It responds to the global need to strengthen the values of human dignity, peace, democracy, equality, and solidarity – values at the heart of UNESCO’s vision for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship Education (GCED).

In today’s world, these values are increasingly challenged – even in democratic societies. They are actively defended for instance in Ukraine, and they must be upheld everywhere: through education, dialogue, cooperation, and everyday actions.

### How can schools participate?

At 12:00, it’s time for action – choose your school’s own act of hope in advance and carry it out together.
Participation is easy and can take place during a school break or in a short moment during the day.

Examples of small but meaningful actions:

- plant a seed or flower on school grounds
- write and share hopeful messages
- clean a small area in the schoolyard or nearby nature
- create a greeting or card for a senior or care home
- share your action online using #MinuteForHope and your local hashtag (e.g. #MinutepourLEspoir)

No registration is needed. The most important thing is to take part and show what your school stands for.

There is also an option for a “live” festival, from June 27 to 29, 2025, during which the selected works will be shown, exhibited, projected or represented in the host cities in France, as well as in French representation sites around the world.
