This year, I had the opportunity to attend/chaperone WE Day. To be honest, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but I knew I would be in store for something great. According to the website,
“Free The Children’s We Day is more than just one day of celebration and inspiration. We Day is the movement of our time – a movement of young people leading local and global change.
Harnessing the energy and passion of a young community of changemakers, We Day brings youth together in an unparalleled setting to show them that they are not alone in their journey to make a difference.
Within stadiums full of cheering young people, We Day brings some of the greatest social issues of today to the forefront, and – no matter the cause, no matter the issue – provides ways in which every young person can find their place within the movement to create global change.”
I was moved by the speakers and artists that I got to see, hear and be inspired by. Their message is simple yet immense, “be the change that you wish to see in the world”.
