#KindnessMatters

This book gathers 50 acts of kindness, directed at oneself, at others and at nature. It grew out of the #KindnessMatters global campaign, launched by the UNESCO Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) to rally young people around a culture of kindness and to show that kindness can bring about lasting change at scale.

The responses the campaign received were so moving that they confirmed what the organisers already believed: kindness is not reserved for grand gestures but is already present in everyday life and worth celebrating. The book collects stories and poems from around the world, including the voices and journeys of people who have devoted their lives to making the world kinder, and makes the case that small actions can carry the greatest impact.
