U DAY is an international music festival promoting the values of intercultural harmony, dialogue, and spiritual unity. Musicians, artists, visionaries, activists and representatives of various faiths and worldviews come together to celebrate our common humanity and present an optimistic vision for the future. Workshops and cultural activities are combined with musical performances in order to celebrate both the colourful diversity and basic unity among the human family. U DAY Festival is a not-for-profit event where performers and organisers volunteer their time and talents to participate in something important and uplifting. Funds go to supporting travel costs for international and to the promotion and logistics of the event. Any surplus funds are shared between the performing artists, our local social Partners and further U DAY events. U DAY first began in Thailand in December 2012 and the next event scheduled is in Ethiopia, February 2018. The theme of the 2018 festival is ‘Land of Origins’ where Ethiopia is presented as the cradle of civilization and a leading nation in terms of religious harmony and interfaith dialogue. We are supported by our Council of Elders coming from a variety of fields including the arts, the interfaith movement, spirituality, social activism and the world unity movement.
