MIYC event: 10Km in their shoes

MIYC was formed with groups of young people. Last Sunday (April 21), MIYC hosted the event, '10Km in Their Shoes'. A lot of foreigners were invited and spent time together. The theme of this event was 'Pledge of Peace' and there also was a ceremony of MIYC.

To be honest, many people hardly think about peace in their normal life.

So this event provided people with a chance to think of the significance of peace and enabled them to imagine the world with no war.

MANNAM put on an eye-catching card section and performed with wonderful dancing to celebrate it.

After finishing walking, the participants were given the souvenirs made with their own fingerprints to celebrate their walking completion.

Plus, a figure adorned with the participants' fingerprints was built to add to the amusement. Then, there was a trip to the zoo where people had an enjoyable time.

On a peaceful day, it was a joyful and meaningful time for the pledge of peace mingling with foreigners.

MANNAM) 10Km in their shoes; Pledge of Peace

Good day!
I would like to invite you to our first national event of 2013, which is going to be hosted by MANNAM International Youth Coalition.

Currently with 82 affiliates around the globe MIYC youth are determined to bring peace, a lasting peace, the kind we have only dared to imagine until now.


10Km in their shoes, as in previous years, will be an awareness campaign. This year youth organisations across the globe will be participating at different locations, all aiming to sound a clear message of their strong stance against wars. All participants will be walking to show their support for specific countries who are still struggling with ongoing wars, or the after effects of recent conflict. Through the 10km walk and the MIYC peace pledge the youth within Korea and abroad will show all nations how we wish to actively pursue peace.
