Global Wellness Day (GWD) (June. 9, 2018) is a day that is dedicated to helping spread awareness about ways that people can live well around the world.
“In an era where global consumer culture is mostly damaging the concept of childhood, kids are ending up unhappy and unsatisfied. We want to teach children how to integrate wellness practices into their lives on a daily basis and to carry on those practices throughout their lives.” – Belgin Aksoy Berkin, Turkish GWD founder
For 2018, the focus is on kids’ wellness, with the goal to decrease depression, obesity rates and future crime rates. This year marks the seventh-annual GWD, and it is the fourth time it is being celebrated internationally.
