The day encourages collective action and partnerships among nations, communities, and individuals to address pressing issues such as inequality, climate change, and humanitarian crises. It inspires people to celebrate diversity, uphold human rights, and work together to create a more inclusive and equitable world.
In Greece and Cyprus, this day is marked by various events aimed at promoting solidarity and social cohesion.
In Athens, organisations often collaborate to host discussions, workshops, and cultural activities highlighting solidarity's importance in tackling issues like poverty and social exclusion. For instance, events may include public campaigns to promote ideas of solidarity, discussions on international cooperation and social justice, and charity events aimed at mutual assistance.
Similar initiatives are organized in Cyprus to foster a sense of community and mutual support. These events may involve public campaigns, discussions, and conferences focused on international cooperation and social justice, as well as mutual assistance campaigns and charity events.
