The aim of OWW is to bring people and organisations together to raise awareness about global issues of justice, poverty and inequality. Events take place locally all over Britain and in many countries around the world.
Most happen during One World Week, which includes United Nations Day on 24 October, giving everyone a feeling of joint endeavour and building a movement. But you can celebrate it when it suits you and your community.
Local community groups, religious and voluntary organisations, inter-faith groups, environmentalists, human rights and peace groups, youth groups, schools, universities and campaigners or local branches of national organisations create events which are accessible, yet challenging, to all in their community.
You can either tailor a regular meeting of your own organisation to focus on One World Week or collaborate with others.
Any local event you’d like to organise, with reference to OWW's vision and aims, which reflects this year’s theme. This could be an inspiring talk, quiz, debate, film, fair trade fete or coffee morning, walk, global/local meal, vigil, act of worship, arts performance, school assembly or project, inter–faith activity … Whatever - it’s up to your community!
Every year OWW sets a theme around a global justice issue, along with a selection of resources and links to related actions initiated by our partners, to give our event organisers focus and material to enrich their OWW events. Our themes are broad to encourage our volunteers to come up with their own interpretations and angle relevant to their communities. For more about this year’s theme visit the Theme page

The Wisdom-Keepers of the Peruvian high Andes
Presentation and film from Lorraine Jericevic

Venue: Cherry Tree Nursery

In the 16th century the Q'ero people of the Andes disappeared in order to protect an unbroken wisdom lineage dating back 13,000 years.
Emerging after 400 years they reveal a way of life based on loving kindness, unconditional reciprocity, sustainability and the sanctity of daily life — the foundations of what is known as 'The Living Peace'.
Filmed on location in the Peruvian highland this film takes you on a captivating journey into the heart of an Ancient Earthkeeping culture to experience a way of life that is at once practical and mystical.
It presents universally applicable insights into a state of being based on the harmonious understanding of the Oneness of all things.
