Story Ideas
The World Kindness Concert is in its sixth year with a vast amount of history and wonderful stories that make this a unique experience. The following are some story ideas:
- Brock Tully, volunteer Executive Producer of the World Kindness Concert and co-counder of KindActs, is an inspirational speaker, author, and a well-known figure in Vancouver's Westend. He once cycled over 18,000 kilometres around North America to raise awareness for kindness and for decades, has generated international headlines for his provocative lectures and public statements. Brock also runs numerous community events including 'Clam Chowder for the Soul' & 'Porridge for the Soul', as well as 'Music on the Beach' where local film, poetry and music touch the heart. Brock is truly an inspirational leader, as he connects and networks like-minded individuals interested in creating positive change in their communities and workplaces.
- The concert is a fundraiser for KindActs' Invest in a Kinder World 'Coin-spiracy' program. The concept was designed to encourage young people in schools and youth groups to carry out acts of kindness that will echo around the globe. To date, the Coin-spiracy program has reached over 45 countries. A kindness coin called a UNI is launched and then tracked. The Coinholder must commit to 3 acts of kindness - one for self, one for the environment and one for another. The coin is passed to the recipient who in turn starts the whole process over again.
- The Coin-spiracy program has over 140 UNI coins that have been issued resulting in an estimated 100,000 humanitarian acts, 171,571 hours of community service and over $220,000 raised for communities in need. Youth around the world have hosted multicultural events, developed healthy lifestyle habits, planted trees and scattered seeds, volunteered at local animal shelters, hosted fundraisers for charities and participated in "The Afghan Project", sending thousands of books and supplies to the people of Afghanistan. The next Coin-spiracy launch is scheduled for September 2006.
