In 2020, under the sponsorship of UNESCO, UNIMA joins the many organizations which defend PEACE to celebrate World Day of Peace on September 21 in two stages.
The World needs PEACE more than ever, and PEACE needs all of us… together we can bring PEACE to life!
The XXth UNESCO World Day of Peace will take place on September 19th, 2020 in Tolosa, Spain, with the participation of international choirs who will perform an original composition written by Josu Elberdin for the occasion. The puppet will be present to give, with freedom, a visual dimension to these moments sung together.
UNIMA proposes World Puppetry Day on March 21, 2020 to be as a first step in this celebration. UNIMA proposes two ways to participate:
The video – A song for PEACE
UNIMA invites its members from around the world to perform live or recorded the composition of the World Day of Peace with adults, children, singers and amateurs, puppeteers, alone or in a group, bringing it to life with a puppet, an object, craft paper, clay, in shadow, with images (drawing, collage…), etc. The score mixes English, Spanish, French and Basque. For those who want to sing it, we’ll facilitate the pronunciation. Don’t be afraid, it’s easy! UNIMA invites you to sing “PEACE” to celebrate it in as many places of the world as possible!
Submitted videos will be used in a montage projected on events created to celebrate World Puppetry Day, and the websites of UNIMA and National Centres.
Deadline to send the videos : March 9th. Technical indications below

Será muy gratificante poder participar a través de internet, ya que las distancias a veces son el motivo de muchas limitaciones. Espero estar presente en tan importante evento.
Soy titiritero y dejos mis datos para participar en festivales, conferencias y talleres
Do you have a sound file of the music / of the song being sung please? This would be very helpful for me. This week I will be working with a group of children with a team of three other artists also working with groups, in Northern Ireland using puppets to promote Peace and we would like to use the song as one of our projects. There will be 60-80 children involved.
Hi Niamh.
Yes, there will be an audio but it is not yet available. We expect to have it this week. As soon as we receive it, we will publish it on the web.
Thank you very much for your interest.
Pour ceux qui ne lisent pas une partition il n’y a pas de musique sur laquelle s’appuyer !
Oui, il y aura un audio, mais il n’est pas encore disponible. Dès que nous l’aurons, nous le publierons.
Ha car je vois mes élèves demain pour la dernière fois avant les vacances scolaires , la date butoir aussi pour l’envoi
I love this idea, but how do we limit the video to 30 seconds if the song is over 4 minutes?
I am a puppeteer in Nigeria West Africa i really want to be a party of this years world Puppetry day 2020.
Hello, who is the author of the message this year?
Happy world puppet day to all of you
