There are 525,600 minutes in a year.  One of them is being focussed to hold a minute of Silence for global cooperation. Given the magnitude of the response to the Solstice Silent Minute Initiative to date around the planet, colleagues and coworkers have translated the flyers into thirteen languages.

We invite you to assist in building the momentum. Please contact us if you’re willing and able to translate the flyer into other languages. In the meantime, we would appreciate your sharing information with those who will distribute the flyer with communities around the world so that millions of us have the opportunity to participate in one minute of Silence – the same minute everywhere – calibrated to 9.00pm GMT/UTC on 21 December 2019 at 9 pm.
