Kindness doesn’t need a calendar - it’s something we can live and breathe every day.
But World Kindness Day on 13th November gives us a special moment to pause, reflect, and actively celebrate the incredible impact kindness can have - in our communities, our workplaces, and our everyday lives.
At the Sussex Centre for Research on Kindness, we will be celebrating the global day with series of uplifting and inclusive activities that invite our entire community to reflect, connect, and act with kindness.
What will be happening?
-
"Kind Ripples": University-wide kindness chain reaction where staff and students performing small acts of kindness and encourage recipients to "pass it on" campus - small actions, big impact!
-
Digital Kindness Wall: An online platform where people can share stories of kindness they’ve experienced or given.
-
Kind@Sussex Social Media Challenge: Use #kind@Sussex - post about your acts of kindness and share stories you have received in University of Sussex.
-
Kindness Symposium: A special "The Business of KINDNESS" webinar on 14 November, where we’ll explore KINDNESS as a business strategy using Timpson as a case study.
Whether you’re a kindness champion or just curious to learn more, there’s something for everyone. More information closer to time to participate in the events.
