What is World Kindness Day?

​

World Kindness Day is observed around the world on November 13. It was introduced in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, a coalition of kindness NGOs. This date is observed in many countries, including in Australia where the Minister of School Education placed World Kindness Day on the National School Calendar. The purpose of World Kindness Day is to highlight good deeds in the community, focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness that binds us.

 

How is “One Drop of Kindness” getting involved?

​

Our mission is to get schools to put World Kindness Day on the school calendar.  What better place to teach our kids about kindness than in the school community.  Let’s unite around this common goal, highlighting the good deeds that unite us.

 

How can we achieve this?

​

Getting the word out.  Please share these ideas with your school community; teachers, parents, PTA, administration and students.  We are all so busy.  Keep it simple. This year you might implement a couple of ideas, then next year you can add more.  Our goal this year is to share ideas to incorporate World Kindness Day at your school.   Next year, our goal is to have 100 schools putting World Kindness Day on the school calendar for 2020-2021!
