WORLD DREAM DAY

Each year on September 25th World Dream Day encourages individuals, families, and communities around the world to make their dreams a reality. It’s also a day to activate ideas and declare new possibilities.

#WorldDreamDay

Many things in our world start out as a dream. This is the way many inventions come into being, how songs and books are written, and goals achieved. Sometimes it’s a literal dream that makes something come to life. Sometimes the dream is more of a wish or desire for something to come true. The famous speech made by Martin Luther King, Jr. relayed his desire for civil rights and an end to racism.

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” Walt Disney

Our dreams can have a huge impact on the world, which is why setting goals is important. Our dreams don't have to remain a fantasy. With a little hard work and dedication, our dreams can become a reality.

“Every dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” Harriet Tubman

HOW TO OBSERVE #WorldDreamDay
