In the lead-up to the International Day of Peace on 21 September, Hostelling International is daring you to press play while you travel. Because play sparks human connection. And connection builds a more harmonious world, one 'hi', one laugh, and one card game at a time.
When it all began
The Say HI for Peace campaign started in 2013 with the aim of turning fear into kindness and heartbreak into hope. This year, it’s powered by play in all its forms. Throughout the month, HI Hostels around the world are hosting creative, playful activities that bring people together.
With over 30 countries taking part, our digital HI connection cards make it easy for travellers to connect, swap stories and build bridges. Because peace doesn't start in boardrooms. It starts with you.
Play for Peace
Say HI for Peace is our global campaign that brings people together through playlists, bingo cards, games, jam sessions and other activities that encourage connection. You can join in wherever you are. Online or in person. In a common room or from your own. Because play takes many different forms.
Every shared moment brings us one step closer to mutual understanding.
Level up! Let's play for something bigger.
Don’t forget to share your playful moments for the chance to win one of many great prices. Tag your stories with @hihostels and the hashtag #SayHIforPeace.
Peace is powered by people
Peace means feeling safe, seen and respected, no matter who you are or where you’re from. It isn't created in boardrooms. It’s sparked in moments. It's when we listen with open minds and embrace differences with curiosity rather than fear. Peace is a 'hi' shared over breakfast or a game played between strangers. Peace lives in human connection and grows stronger every time we lean in.
When we show up, speak up and play our part, peace grows louder.
