World Hello Day on November 21st

World Hello Day

World Hello Day is held annually on November 21, 2020.  Communication often starts with a simple greeting, so taking part of this celebration couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is say hello and good day greetings to at least 10 people you meet.  This demonstrates the importance of personal communication for preserving peace. As a global event this day joins local participation in a global expression of peace.  The World Hello Day web site address is http://www.worldhelloday.org.

What is the purpose of Hello Day?

World Hello Day was begun in response to the conflict between Egypt and Israel in the Fall of 1973.  Since then, the day has been observed by people in 180 countries. People around the world use the occasion as an opportunity to express their concern for world peace.  Beginning with a simple greeting, their activities send a message to leaders, encouraging them to use communication rather than force to settle conflicts. The objective is to greet to at least ten people on the day. The message is for world leaders to use communication rather than force to settle conflicts.

Who Celebrates

Thirty one winners of the Nobel Peace Prize are among the people who have realized World Hello Day’s value as an instrument for preserving peace and as an occasion that makes it possible for anyone in the world to contribute to the process of creating peace. Brian McCormack, a Ph.D. graduate of Arizona State University, and Michael McCormack, a graduate of Harvard University, work together to promote this annual global event.
