Activate Hope on International Day of Hope
We need all hands on deck for hope. We are at a pivotal point in humanity, and if we Hope for a better environment, economy, and life, we need to know ‘how’ to Hope for these things. What we ask of all leading up to the day:
We all need to first understand how we measure hope. Once you get your score, you know how much work you need to do to ‘Shine’ Hope.
Participate in daily challenges to nurture hope in your life and community. Share your journey on social media using the hashtag #InternationalDayofHope and #GlobalHopeChallenge. Encourage others to take the challenge. This begins on July 12th!
Show your support by displaying hope-themed yard signs or creating sunflower gardens in your neighborhood.
Put up workplace educational programs, classroom teachings of Hopeful Minds, and community events that promote Hope science.
Your story is powerful, so consider writing and sharing your Hope Story. We don’t just want to share with people what we went through; we want to share the skills and strategies we used to get to the other side.
We have video recordings of the powerful talks from last year’s International Day of Hope event. Help us spread each speaker’s message!
On July 12th, 2025, we encourage you to host in-person and online events. Some additional ideas for activation:
-
- Paint a Shine Hope Mural to activate the Five Keys with a plaque: Happiness Habits, Stress Skills, Inspired Actions, Nourishing Networks, and Eliminating Challenges.
- Launch a social media campaign on July 12th, with the key message that ‘Hope is Teachable’. Download images here.
- Launch a Workplace Campaign.
