What are the Global Unity Games in Dallas / Ft. Worth?
The Global Unity Games: Tomorrow Together are an 11 day challenge to bring about unprecedented unity in communities around the world through compassionate action and service.
The Global Unity Games begin on 9/11, a National Day of Service and Remembrance, and continue through 9/21, the International Day of Peace. This period of time is known as the 11 Days of Global Unity.
In the days following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, our world experienced a time of unprecedented unity as people cast aside their differences and rose in service in the spirit of love and compassion. The Global Unity Games honor this legacy of compassion by bringing people around the world together to strive toward a better tomorrow through collective acts of service and kindness.
The Compassion Games is partnering with a broad coalition of non-profits, businesses, government agencies, universities, and organizations and groups to play together and sustain a 5-year campaign called Tomorrow Together. As expressed in the Global Unity Games, the goals of Tomorrow Together are to:
- Ignite young people to express their strong desire for unity and change in the world
- Build unity, empathy and service among young people of all faiths, races and ethnicities.
- Establish 9/11 as a catalyst, mobilization and inflection point that continues the legacy of service and supports achieving the vital Sustainable Development Goals set for 2030.
