A BRIEF HISTORY OF NATIONAL DREAM DAY

Robert Muller, often referred to as the “father of global education” and a former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, is credited with inspiring the creation of National Dreams Day. Muller was a strong advocate for peace, global cooperation, and the power of dreams. His work at the United Nations and his writings emphasized the importance of envisioning a better future and the role of individual dreams in creating a more harmonious world.

National Dreams Day was conceived as a way to honor Muller’s legacy and promote his vision of encouraging people to dream big and work towards their aspirations. The day is dedicated to the idea that by dreaming and setting goals, individuals can contribute to positive change both in their own lives and in the world at large. Through various activities such as creating vision boards, setting goals, and participating in discussions about dreams, National Dreams Day aims to inspire people to take actionable steps towards realizing their dreams, in line with Robert Muller’s lifelong mission of fostering global peace and cooperation through personal empowerment and visionary thinking.
