World Values Day — What You Can Do to Raise Community Awareness of The Importance of Values

World Values Day is an annual campaign to increase the awareness and practice of values around the world.
World Values Day is always the third Thursday of October

As we approach World Values Day 2022, here are a couple of questions to ask yourself:

  1. Are you conscious of your internal compass?
  2. What truly guides your actions, reactions, and interactions in your day-to-day life?

That’s a whole lot of actions, isn’t it?

Well, if you think about it, actions help determine your quality of life at home, in your community, and at work. And your values are what direct your actions and the intentions behind them.

By aligning your core values with your mind, body, and environment, you enhance your well-being. You no longer have to put in heavy emotional work by second-guessing every single action you take.

What if your entire community was guided by core values? Think of how fast we might see positive change within and around all of us!

This year, why not raise community awareness of the importance of core values? After all, it only takes one ripple of, say, compassion, to touch the heart of another… and another, and another. You see where I’m going with this.

Social Media and Online Events

Already on social media? On Twitter, type in #worldvaluesday2022 to join the conversation. It’s Twitter madness! But in a good way.

There’s an entire social media pack ready to download and go. Tag your friends, family, and anyone else on your friends or follower list to put them on to the justified hype.

Remember, this is a community affair!

On World Values Day, October 20th, there will be tons of Zoom events you can participate in. Invite others to join as well! These will be centered around finding and practicing specific and general values.

You’ll learn to show businesses how to support community values, empower yourself through real world values examples, and you’ll get to talk to me on Clubhouse through an interactive chat event!

If you aren’t a member of Clubhouse, you can access the link on your browser and listen. but you won’t be able to fully participate. Why not download the app and get the full experience on Thursday, October 20, 2022?

Show Values in Action

In everyday life, you can show the importance of values with the power of example-setting. For instance, when you hold the door open for someone, you present the value of kindness and remind others of that value.

Perhaps this month you decide to sign up as a volunteer to help others in need. This innately showcases service as an important value and will help you connect with others who might be inspired to do something similar.

Use these guides to see what other world values day activities you can do this month.

To be more “out there” about your love of values, you’re invited to share your actions online — again inspiring those in your community to attune to their own values and do the same!

Build A Community Group and Take On The Values Challenge

You’re not obligated to do this alone. If there are like-minded people around you who understand the significance of values — or are willing to lend an ear to you raving about it! — form a community group.

Here’s a guide.

Already part of a community group, organization, or school that’s show interest in World Values Day ? Then take on the values challenge!

Get details here on how it works.

Use Your Valuable Values Resources

You can find numerous world values day resources on the website to help you get involved in the campaign. When you visit, sign up for the newsletter to stay on top of everything.

And don’t forget to flood your social media — and encourage others to do the same — on October 20th with the hashtag #WorldValuesDay2022!
