First established in 1954 as Universal Children’s Day, we celebrate World Children’s Day on November 20 each year, promoting international togetherness and a commitment to improving children’s welfare around the world. We uphold the ideals of World Children’s Day every day and in every program. We work to bring together communities to support positive growth and development for every young person we engage in our STEAM programs and residencies. Thanks to your support we are able to integrate the arts into math and science classrooms, unlocking students’ creativity and building their collaboration and communication skills. These skills are not only vital to future innovators, inventors, scientists, and mathematicians but also serve young people in all aspects of their lives.
At the core of our work in youth and community development, we help everyone tell their stories. They may do this through a visual art piece, a poem, or a storytelling performance. They may perform or exhibit their work for all to hear and see. Or they may choose to share with only their close friends and family. Whatever the medium, we know these stories have the power to change the world. Stories are our superpowers that bring us together and make the world a better place.
Now through Dec. 16, we are excited to let you, our supporters, know about our My Story is My Superpower initiative. As a part of this campaign, we will also be posting fun ways to engage with the team of Story Tapestries staff and supporters through social media with the hashtag #StoryPower2019.
Be on the lookout for how to engage and share the power of your stories with us on our Facebook page and Twitter!
On November 20, 1954, the United National General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. For more information about World Children’s Day, you can go to the United Nations' webpage. https://www.un.org/en/observances/world-childrens-day
