Each year the World Harmony Run visits countless schools around the world. Students get to meet the runners, hold the torch and express their own hopes and dreams for a more harmonious world. Here are a few ways children and schools can participate.

School Activity Literature. English or French

Running

Sport is a powerful instrument for fostering harmony and establishing bonds fo friendship among the diverse peoples of the world. We invite you to run a few steps, a few blocks or a few miles with the torch. Organize a run in your school yard, or cheer the World Harmony Run team as they pass through your community.

Take a look at the Canadian Route to see when the Torch will be in your region. You can arrange for your school to have a visit by the World Harmony Run Team by contacting us at: canada <at> worldharmonyrun <dot> org or by phone: 1-877-243-6433
