A commitment to taking local and global action has always been a part of schools’ involvement in We Day. While the elements of the year-long program have not changed, we want to put this long-term commitment front and centre.
Free The Children’s We Schools in Action program inspires a generation to care about social justice and provides the practical tools needed to turn that inspiration into action. Launched by the energy and message of We Day, We Schools puts students at the forefront of active global citizenship by educating them on social issues and action planning, developing leadership skills, and engaging them in world-changing action.
When you join We Schools in Action by committing to take action and share your successes with the community of We Schools, you will have the chance to attend We Day 2010. The event is an integral part of the program as it ignites the inspiration to act, setting schools up to return home and create lasting change in their communities and around the world.
School participation in the We Schools program is not mandatory to attend We Day. However, schools that make the commitment to take action through this program will get first priority to attend the event.
If your school cannot attend We Day, no problem! You can watch event via live webcast or CTV broadcast special. Check back here for more details on how to participate closer to the event dates.
