Permanent Movement Universal Walk for Peace
There have also been a significant number of “Universal Walks for Peace” in several cities in other parts of the world promoted by a group of individuals who constitute what we have called “Permanent Movement”.
They are local calls, unified with St. James of Compostela, and held one Sunday per month and mainly attended by citizens from this area walking in unity and in correspondence with a continent.
Since October 2008 and through representatives of the Permanent Movement Universal Walk for Peace in each of the cities and, with the help of those responsible from Universal Walk Foundation to St. James of Compostela MUASC, walks have been promoted outside the St. James of Compostela region.
