We Day is Free The Children’s annual signature event. Taking place on September 29 at Vancouver’s GM Place and on October 5 at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre, these events are a celebration of the Me to We philosophy of reaching out to help others, while engaging youth to be the change as they support the international development work of Free The Children.The largest event of its kind, each We Day event celebrates the power of young people to change the lives of others. Every year, the We Day events feature a series of inspirational and motivational speeches by top leadership and social issues activists, speakers and entertainers.
But the action doesn’t stop here. Every person attending We Day has committed to take tangible actions for a better world. They’re part of a support network of students, educators and facilitators that stretches from coast to coast.
Students will take action throughout 2009-2010 through Free The Children’s campaigns to raise awareness and funds. Donations will build schools and provide clean water and alternative income streams for some of the most remote and impoverished people in the world. Each step will lead us closer to creating global equality and ending poverty in the developing world.
