Why Do We Celebrate WE Day?
WE Day is more than just a single day of celebration; it’s the culmination of a year-long effort to engage young people in social causes and inspire them to take action in their communities and beyond. This day recognizes the achievements of youth who have participated in the WE Movement, a global initiative that encourages young people to be leaders of change and work together for a better future.
The History Behind WE Day
Founded by Craig and Marc Kielburger, WE Day traces its roots back to the Free the Children initiative, established in 1995. Their mission? To combat child labor and empower youth to be agents of global change. Over time, this initiative evolved into the WE Movement, which emphasizes the importance of “we” over “me”—a rallying cry for collective action. WE Day events began to take shape as annual celebrations of youth-led activism, featuring star-studded lineups of speakers, performers, and changemakers from around the world. It’s not just a day; it’s a revolution in action!
