People share their view into the sky from Africa, South America, North America, and Europe, Asia and Australia—the one sky with its many faces and witness to countless stories:
You can hear the voices of the people living under this one sky with their diverse experiences and backgrounds. They share their personal thoughts on peace and freedom with you here.
The contributions are translated in French, German, English, some are also e.g. in Arabic, Amharic, Georgian.
Did you ever write in the sky ? In oneskyflags.com webApp you can type your message “with sky” or with “ink made of sky” and share it!
Everybody who likes to join in: Send in your contribution: a sky photo and a 1-minute audio recording on your take on peace and freedom. It will be great when all nations will be represented.
The vision is: Hoist ONE SKY FLAGS including all nations in front of the United Nations in New York.
