UNiversa Skirmante has chosen the forget-me-not flower and peace dove as her symbols for the season — representing remembrance, unity, and the enduring value of peace and justice.

In her home country, Lithuania, the forget-me-not holds a special meaning of respect, resilience, and collective memory, reflecting shared values of freedom, integrity, and solidarity and is typically worn or displayed to show gratitude and to pledge to not forget those who have sacrificed their lives.

This symbolism beautifully connects with SDG 16, promoting inclusive societies, strong institutions, and lasting harmony, while embracing the Festausschuss Bonner Karneval motto “200 Jahre Bonner Karneval – jestern, hück und morje” — reminding us to cherish our traditions today so that peace and unity can flourish tomorrow.

Each Orden is made from FSC-certified wood using solar power and sewn together with cotton by our talented UNFunken Sparkles. The matching pin features a felt forget-me-not and a peace dove carrying an olive branch — a small but powerful reminder of hope and harmony.
