On September 20, in different countries of the world at convenient local times, a worldwide flash mob will be held - sea, land, air and space (with the participation of the ISS expedition) in honor of the 500th anniversary of the first circumnavigation. It was on September 20, 1519 that the navigator Ferdinand Magellan set off from the Andalusian port of Sanlúcar de Barrameda on his first trip around the world at the head of a flotilla of five ships.

The International Maritime Club "Mariner", the International Organizing Committee for the preparation and holding of the World Flash Mob in honor of the 500th anniversary of the first circumnavigation of Ferdinand Magellan with the support of the Russian Lighthouse Society Foundation, invites for cooperation participants, volunteers, media and partners who want to support the action and take part in a unique and large-scale event - the World Flash Mob in honor of the 500th anniversary of the first circumnavigation of the world Ferdinand Magellan with the participation of 500+ maritime vehicles and vessels and 10,000+ participants from around the world, united by one goal - the preservation of the World Maritime Heritage, when each participant will be able to convey his message to future generations and enter his name in the “World Maritime Heritage Capsule”, which will be laid for 50 years on the “World Walk of Fame of Mariners” in Vladivostok on September 20, 2019.

Each flash mob participant receives a participant certificate and a unique book as a gift.
