The events will run from 10am until 8pm on Facebook and YouTube where films, poetry, music, photography and a display of light creations made by schools, community groups and young people will be featured.
Stand Together member Mark Popplewell said: “Our event encourages people to reflect on the depths to which humanity can sink, but also the way individuals and communities resisted the darkness to be the light before, during and after genocide.
“It’s a call for action – we can all be upstanding rather than bystanding. We can all stand in solidarity. We can all choose to be the light in the darkness.”
