Character Day

Event Details

Join us Sept 18, 2015 for Character Day, a day of thousands of events around the globe where people will simultaneously premiere short powerful and entertaining films, dive into resources from scientists, educators, and media experts, and join an online global Google Hangout exploring how to live meaningful, successful, and purposeful lives in today’s 24/7 world. 

Character Day launched last year with the global premiere of our film “The Science of Character  along with an online Q&A with experts in the field of character development. 

This year we'll premiere two new films, The Adaptable Mind and The Making of a Mensch, along with new discussion materials, an in-depth research hub, and an exciting online, live global conversation around "character" from different perspectives -- science, education, philosophy, and more.

Character Day is all generously underwritten by grants so no cost to you. Everyone is invited, whether you're part of a school, university, nonprofit, family, company, corporation, or any other group. Signing up takes 2 mins. There are already over 4200 events planned in schools, classrooms, and organizations around the world. We hope you'll join!
