Global Dignity Day is celebrated on October 15th and aims to educate and inspire young people about self-worth, inclusion, and shared humanity. It encourages participants to assess what brings them dignity and to set personal goals. The initiative, founded in 2005 by Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, philosopher Pekka Himanen, and entrepreneur John Bryant, has grown to involve over 80 countries. Typical activities include hosting community events, creating art that expresses dignity, and engaging in discussions led by speakers from various professions. Participants often write letters to themselves outlining their aspirations, which are returned the following year for reflection. The day serves as a benchmark for measuring personal growth and success, promoting a culture of respect and understanding.
