Now is the time to act - OWW Guidelines
Author: OWW | Date Published: 20/06/2019
These Guidelines focus on organising events that will communicate the urgency to act before climate change damages the ecosystems on which we depend. The need to engage everyone calls on OWW to use its experience to include minority groups and people of many faiths; to suggest actions that individuals, families, communities and governments can take which will offer hope to future generations. Other organisations' websites and resources, alongside some specially developed by OWW, are suggested to help organisers to put on informative and fun events to build up a positive response to the climate crisis. .

One World Song
Author: Portsmouth Music Hub | Date Published: 02/10/2018
The ONE WORLD song
The 'One World Song' was first produced by the Portsmouth Music Hub, as a film of its 50 choirs and 2,500 singers, for the BBC Music Day 2018. They are very happy for us to adopt it as our 'Song for One World Week' and share it.
"The message is simple: that the environmental choices we make every day will change the world" - so it fits well with OWW's environmental aims and any theme or event with an environmental theme.
Do watch – it’s great. Perfect for us. We are welcome to share it and use it. So do pass the link on to schools, choirs etc. The score and lyrics are available, too, so people can join in the singing. Find them (and other related songs) here http://www.portsmouthmusichub.org/one-world/
It would make a great introduction (or send off) for an event or a school assembly.
Watch and listen to it on youtube now! - it’s guaranteed to make you smile!

One World Week - Handbook
Author: OWW
This handbook includes loads of advice on event organisation for seasoned local activists and fresh faces alike. It draws upon what OWW, as an organisation, and its supporters, putting on local events, have learned together from the experience of implementing the project "Exploring Ubuntu – One World Across Faiths". Ubuntu or active togetherness embodies the values of shared responsibility for each other.
It is intended to inspire, inform and encourage more people of diverse backgrounds to come together to explore shared values and take action locally and globally to build a just, peaceful and sustainable world.
Copies of the handbook can be requested by contacting the office here
