Meet the campaigns
As we strive to understand the “new normal” after the COVID-19 conference, Dream a Dream invites you to join a global movement in education: #WhatIf.
The #WhatIf movement is a community initiative whose intention is to invite a pause, a moment, a quiet in our being before we can react to support our children. It's an initiative to explore and discover what might be our most compassionate offering to our children during this pandemic and afterwards, when children begin to return to school.
