World Kindness Day 2024: Held on November 13 every year, World Kindness Day is a global event that promotes compassion and kindness as a means of bringing about positive social change. In an effort to remind people of the crucial role that kindness plays in promoting global unity, the World Kindness Movement organized the observance in 1998.
The idea behind the November 13 founding of the World Kindness Movement was to transform people’s mindsets by celebrating kindness on a particular day. This day is a worldwide call to reflect on how even little, deliberate acts of compassion and care can have a big influence on society; it is much more than just doing random acts of kindness. It is a day that honors both acts of kindness and the inherent value of compassion, encouraging people to take stock of their lives, deepen their relationships with others, and carry out selfless activities.
