On 20 December 2025, the Global Peace Chain (GPC) Liberia, led by its Country Director and supported by the GPC Ambassadors, in collaboration with the Federation of Liberian Youth (FLY), proudly commemorated International Human Solidarity Day under the theme:
This observance was a vibrant demonstration of how unity, collaboration, and shared responsibility serve as pillars for sustainable peace and resilient communities. Bringing together youth leaders, community stakeholders, and peace advocates, the event reinforced the critical role of human solidarity in fostering understanding, social cohesion, and collective action.
At the heart of the event was a celebration of diversity across cultures, backgrounds, races, and religions. Participants explored the idea that embracing differences is not only a moral responsibility but also a strategic approach to peacebuilding. Through interactive discussions, group activities, and exchange sessions, attendees reflected on how cultural understanding and mutual respect strengthen communities and build resilience against division and conflict.
The engagement highlighted that lasting peace is achieved not in isolation but through collective commitment. By standing together in solidarity, communities can confront social challenges, bridge divides, and foster an environment where every individual feels valued and included.
A key highlight of the observance was the active involvement of youth leaders. The session provided a platform for young participants to articulate their visions for peace and explore practical ways to implement solidarity initiatives within their communities.
Through dynamic dialogue and constructive exchanges, the youth showcased their capacity to drive positive change, proving that resilience and peace are cultivated not only through policies and institutions but also through empowered, proactive citizens. The event reinforced the philosophy that today’s youth are tomorrow’s peacebuilders, and their engagement is central to achieving sustainable development and societal harmony.
The event was not only a celebration but also a space for reflection and learning. Participants engaged in discussions on topics such as community cohesion, conflict resolution, and collaborative approaches to addressing societal challenges.
These sessions emphasized that solidarity is a lived practice—it requires action, empathy, and consistent effort. Through shared stories, problem-solving exercises, and collaborative planning, attendees were reminded that peace is a daily choice, strengthened through intentional and collective action.
GPC Liberia expressed sincere gratitude to the Federation of Liberian Youth (FLY) for its unwavering partnership and support in promoting peace, solidarity, and community engagement. The contributions of volunteers, local leaders, and all stakeholders were also acknowledged as vital to the event’s success. Their dedication reinforced the message that peace and resilience are built through collaboration, and that every contribution—large or small—makes a difference.
Guided by the Country Director and supported by GPC Ambassadors, Global Peace Chain Liberia reaffirmed its commitment to nurturing peace, solidarity, and community resilience across the nation. The event was a reminder that human solidarity is more than a concept—it is a principle to be lived, acted upon, and shared.
By fostering dialogue, encouraging youth engagement, and promoting collective responsibility, GPC Liberia continues to empower communities to stand united, bridge divides, and build a Liberia that is harmonious, inclusive, and resilient.
Through initiatives like this, the organization demonstrates that when we stand together in solidarity, we not only strengthen our communities but also inspire hope, resilience, and shared purpose for generations to come
