2. What is global dignity
• On this day, Young Global Leaders and other
role models join thousands of volunteers to do
Dignity Days. They speak to youth in the
Middle East, Europe, Asia, Africa and the
Americas. Their aim is to instill a new, positive,
inclusive and interconnected sense of value in
young people that will guide them as they
grow.
3. • At a Dignity Day session, facilitators – people who
make the Dignity Principles their own – go into
schools and talk with the pupils about dignity.
Facilitators can be plumbers, health workers,
bankers… in short, anyone that want to see young
people become their best self can be a role model.
7. Dignity principles
• Every human being has a right to lead a dignified life.
• A dignified life means an opportunity to fulfill one’s
potential, which is based on having a human level of
health care, education, income and security.
• Dignity means having the freedom to make decisions
on one’s life and to be met with respect for this right.
• Dignity should be the basic guiding principle for all
actions.
• Ultimately, our own dignity is interdependent with the
dignity of others.
