WE Day Impact
Driving social change
WE Day and our year-long educational programme, WE Schools, work together to empower young people to be drivers of social change. Both are built on the belief that everyone has the power to make a difference and that when we act together, we can transform the world. Our model of youth empowerment challenges young people to act with intention and lead with compassion by connecting them to society’s most pressing issues at home and globally, and then helping them find their passion for change. WE Day is a celebration of their actions.
“WE Day truly inspired me to keep going and make a change, and just the thought that the stadium was full of young people determined to change the world is heart-warming and not something that could be put into words. It gave me even more hope and knowledge that one day, this world will be different because of people like us.” — WE Day UK participant.
