About UPM… What is the Universal Peace March? What is the purpose of this march? Since 2005, under the cooperation between YBS and IWO, "Universal Peace March (UPM)" has been held in different parts of India. We promote peace by sharing our ideas about global issues with youths from all over the world. During the 12 day march, we will stay in different locals and have meetings with various people no matter what their religion is or where they come from. We will share ideas about how to promote peace with each other, how there can be peace among young people, and how to be aware and recover a sense of mutual humanity. In 2010, foreign and Indian participants will march from Sharavasti to Sankisa India on foot. Local hosting condition will sometimes be inconvenient, however, this will be a good opportunity to challenge youself.
Once a year we hold Peace March project to make people be aware of this situation. YBS is trying to create harmony and friendship with each other even though they are Buddhist, Hindu or Muslim or Christian. When national and international government cannot stop the violence and conflict, it is time for youths of the world to take action and put an end to one of the longest conflicts. This humanistic and peaceful march will give an opportunity to the participants from various countries to be involved directly or indirectly in global issues
