World Kindness Day

PURPOSE

The purpose of World Kindness Day as outlined by the World Kindness Movement is “to highlight good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness which binds us.” Since its creation more than two decades ago, the day has achieved truly global notice; events associated with the day have attracted participants from every inhabited continent. These have included activities such as concerts, dance mobs, and the distribution of “kindness cards.”

HISTORY

World Kindness Day was first introduced as a day of observation by the World Kindness Movement. In 2019, the organization was registered as an official NGO under Swiss law, but the history of the group stretches back to a Tokyo-based convention in 1997.

Because of their commitment to promoting kindness in society, a variety of institutions and groups from nations such as Australia, Thailand, the United States, and the United Kingdom had gathered at this conference.

This incident would lead to the founding of the Society Kindness Movement, whose written founding statement stated their "pledge to come together to build a kinder and more compassionate world."

In 1998, in pursuit of this aim, they would facilitate the launch of the World Kindness Day.
