FOR AGES 1 YEARS TO 99 YEARS
Global Community Engagement Day takes place on January 28, across the world.
Global Community Engagement Day is celebrated by organizations, residents, cultural groups, and governments.
The first Global Community Engagement Day was held on January 28, 2018.
An organization in Australia called Engage 2 Act started the day to spread awareness about the importance of community engagement.
Global Community Engagement Day was started by an Australian organization that aims to bring people together to talk about social issues in the community.
Community engagement is working together with different groups to identify specific issues that are important for the groups' well-being and address them. On this day, people take part in activities to improve public engagement in decision-making and promote harmony.
You can celebrate this day by organizing events and celebrating with fellow community members. Planning a get-together and asking your coworkers and business leaders about community engagement can be a good way to appreciate this day. You can post on social media about the day's importance and enjoy celebrating with your friends.
This day reminds us of the foundation, resources, and principles of community organizations; justice, fairness, participation, self-determination, and empowerment.
It helps create a local network of community members that can be connected globally.
On this day, people can learn the best practical tips from other practitioners of community engagement.
Creating social media pages and tools for organizations, forming voluntary groups, giving support by volunteering at a local organization, and providing instructional services such as educating communities.
The aim is to work side by side with communities to understand their aspirations and needs. It encourages communities to have constructive relationships, which will lead to sustainable decision-making to improve the local community.
Global community engagement is a community of people around the world who interact through information sharing, commerce, and online communities, whereas local community engagement is a relational process that occurs at a local level.
These celebrations encourage organizations to communicate with interested groups in a community and engage them to help make better communities. It strengthens the bond with voluntary, faith-based, and local groups. It motivates business leaders to make wise decisions and address crucial issues.
To improve a global community structure, we can own digital space to create optimum collaboration. Digital storytelling can also be employed to change power dynamics and narratives.
A non-profit organization, Engage 2 Act, in Australia, came up with the idea. To fix the date, they began a poll on social media. The person who gave the best answer was born on January 28. The date of the event is the winner's birthday, so it became the official date.
Global Community Engagement Day appreciates the individuals, voluntary groups, organizations, and businesses who engage with their fellow community members to form better relationships.
