This important day was formally recognised by the United Nations in 2005, reflecting the growing interconnectedness of the world and the need for global solidarity. It serves as a call to action for individuals, communities and nations to promote a sense of common purpose and work together to address pressing issues such as poverty, inequality, climate change and the protection of human rights.

EPSULA's objectives embody a commitment to solidarity based on the principles of cooperation, mutual support and the pursuit of a more equitable and sustainable world. It also stresses the importance of international cooperation to address common challenges that transcend borders and affect people all over the world.
