Founded by Craig and Marc Kielburger, Free The Children’s We Day is more than just one day of celebration and inspiration. It’s a one-of-a-kind event and part of an innovative year-long program created to celebrate the power of young people to create positive change in the world.
We Day is a day-long event with speakers and performers that kicks off a year-long program of action called We Schools in Action. The program helps students develop and implement one local and one global project to help youth who do not have access to basics like food, clean water and education. The goal is to encourage young people to take local and global action throughout the year.
