The theme of the day in 2017 is : "Together for peace". : Respect, dignity and security for all. ".

This theme was chosen to highlight the campaign together, a global UN initiative that encourages respect, Security and dignity for anyone forced by circumstances to flee her home looking for a better life.

SET brings together the organizations of the United Nations system, the 193 Member States of the Organization of the United Nations, the private sector and civil society entities, academic institutions and citizens in a global partnership to support diversity, non-discrimination and the acceptance of refugees and migrants. The campaign was launched the 19 September 2016 on the occasion of the Summit of the Nations United for refugees and migrants.

"In times of insecurity.", groups whose difference is visible, are taken for scapegoats, by ease "., has emphasized the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres. This is the reason why we must resist the cynical forces seeking to divide communities and demonize others. "Discrimination demeans us all.". It prevents individuals and companies achieve their full potential., He said in January 2017, at a Forum of high level on the fight against discrimination and hatred of Muslims.

This year, the international day of peace will therefore highlight the commitment and mobilization of individuals from the four corners of the world for refugees and migrants. We will share the experiences of the communities that host those forced to flee their homes, as well as stories of refugees and migrants.

Our goal is to highlight the mutual benefits of migration but also to address concerns and issues that arise within host communities. The initiative aims to reflect together on all of these issues and challenges, While recalling one of our common foundations : our humanity. Young people play a central role in these events. They will be able, for example, volunteer to make service in their community or testify their friendship to other young refugees or migrants in their class or their neighborhood.
