UNESCO Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) is following Gandhi’s footsteps to sensitise the youth about kindness and take a step closer to achieving world peace. The institute kickstarted #VirtualGandhiMarch, a social media campaign to mobilise the youth to share their stories of kindness, earlier this month.

The #VirtualGandhiMarch started on UN International Youth Day, August 12, 2019, and will run until the International Day of Non-Violence and Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary on October 2, 2019. The virtual march is part of a wider mission, #KindnessMatters for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a first-of-its-kind international youth campaign on kindness with the goal of mobilizing the world’s youth to achieve the 17 SDGs through transformative acts of kindness, compassion, care towards self, others and the environment……………………
