If the EU and its national governments want to lead us into a war against Russia, they are betraying all the basic European principles of peace, democracy, freedom and international understanding! That is why we, the citizens of Europe, are taking the future of this wonderful continent into our own hands! We are hereby launching the European Peace Project. Am 9.Mai 2025 um 17 Uhr lasst uns alle gemeinsam zeitgleich in allen Ländern auf den europäischen Kontinent und in allen europäischen Sprachen mit einem performativen Sprechakt aus unseren Fenstern, auf unseren Balkonen und auf unseren Plätzen den FRIEDEN ausrufen! Then let’s celebrate!

You can already find the text of the proclamation here in numerous languages. If your national or local language (Catalan, Gaelic, Alsatian …) is missing: please send us the translation! You are welcome to change the proclamation text individually (omit or add something). Then please add your own “Responsible in terms of the press law”.

Join our peace campaign and register in the contact form, then we will keep you up to date with all the plans and activities.

Please help us to make this project big and meaningful!

In addition to enthusiasm, commitment and creativity, this also requires some money, which is why we ask that everyone who registers here and takes part donates at least €1.

You can take part in the European Peace Project as an individual or as an organisation. Over the next few weeks, everyone who registers will receive a dove of peace on an interactive map of Europe to show that you, your city and your village are also taking part – from Dublin to Thessaloniki and from Lisbon to Helsinki, right across Europe and across the continent to Moscow and beyond!

There will also be a feature here on the site where you can post planned activities in your town or find other participants in your neighbourhood so you can join forces for this action!

In our ‘Art Work’ section, we offer you artistic templates for posters, T-shirts, stickers, buttons or flags that you can print yourself in a copy shop or order online to advertise the European Peace Project over the next few weeks: on bus stops, trees, advertising pillars, walls or as posters in your shop…

The basic idea of opening the window on 9 May at 5 pm and reading out the Manifesto for Peace can be creatively expanded by you with actions, art, performances, happenings or flash mobs: you are the actors of the European Peace Project and you shape the idea according to your ideas!

Please film or photograph yourself at the proclamation, at the window or in your marketplace, and then send us the pictures/videos. We will publish them on this website in a digital gallery after 9 May 2025 to document that the citizens of Europe are for peace and not for war!
