World Love Week
A global movement to make love visible again.
Not as a holiday. Not as a campaign.
As a cultural moment.
February 8–15
Founding Year — 2026
What Is World Love Week?
World Love Week is a global movement to make love visible again.
Not as a holiday.
Not as a campaign.
As a cultural moment.
Held annually February 8–15, World Love Week invites people everywhere to participate through simple acts of connection — both online and offline.
There are no rules.
No requirements.
No performances.
Just one question:
“Can you show someone they matter this week?”
That’s it.
No conferences.
No stages.
No experts.
Just millions of people choosing love — publicly, visibly, simultaneously.
“I Stand for Love. Do You?”
When Is World Love Week?
World Love Week 2026 takes place February 8–15.
These dates are fixed and will remain consistent annually.
The week culminates on Valentine’s Day, creating a global arc of connection that transforms one holiday into one shared movement.
Why World Love Week Exists
Loneliness has become normalized.
Outrage travels faster than care.
And millions of people move through life feeling invisible — unseen, unheard, and convinced no one truly notices.
World Love Week exists to prove something simple and radical:
Love isn’t a feeling you wait for.
It’s a choice you make.
Not just romantically.
In friendship.
In community.
In family.
With strangers.
And with yourself.
World Love Week is intentionally simple, hopeful, and human — focused on connection rather than controversy.
Because the world doesn’t need more advice.
It needs more visible care.
How People Participate
Participation in World Love Week is open to everyone.
No registration required.
People participate by:
Creating a JoyDrop — a simple, visible act of kindness or encouragement shared in the world
Sending a ThankYouGram — a written message of gratitude delivered digitally on behalf of World Love Week
Sharing moments of love, appreciation, or connection using #WorldLoveWeek
Sharing World Love Week messages or stories
Subscribing to The Daily Hug during World Love Week
Show love.
Share love.
Keep it human.
Signature Initiative: The JoyDrop
The JoyDrop is the heartbeat of World Love Week.
It’s a simple invitation:
Leave a visible moment of joy or kindness behind — for someone specific, or for the world.
A JoyDrop can be:
A handwritten note left in a public place
A message of encouragement placed where someone will find it
A small, thoughtful act that makes another person feel seen
A moment of appreciation — shared publicly or quietly
There is no “right way” to do this.
Whatever you do is enough.
One person leaves a JoyDrop in Tokyo.
Someone in São Paulo notices — and creates their own.
Then London.
Then Nairobi.
Then Chicago.
Connection creates connection.
A Second Way to Participate: ThankYouGrams
For those who want to participate digitally, World Love Week offers ThankYouGrams.
A ThankYouGram is a written message of gratitude or appreciation — sent digitally on behalf of World Love Week.
People use ThankYouGrams to:
Thank someone who made a difference in their life
Recognize quiet acts of kindness
Express appreciation they’ve been holding back
Remind someone they are seen and valued
ThankYouGrams are simple, human, and personal — and they allow participation from anywhere in the world.
Who’s Behind It
World Love Week was created by Ken Krell — a global entrepreneur, founder of The Daily Hug, and creator of the SeenWithLove Foundation.
For more than 40 years, Ken has built businesses, movements, and communities across borders — guided by the belief that impact doesn’t require permission, and that love can scale without losing its soul.
World Love Week is produced by the team behind The Daily Hug, a global emotional well-being initiative focused on daily connection, encouragement, and visibility.
World Love Week is non-political, non-religious, and values-based, welcoming people of all backgrounds and beliefs.
The Bigger Vision
World Love Week is designed to grow year by year — expanding into cities, cultures, and communities around the globe.
The long-term vision is to establish World Love Week as a recognized annual global moment — like Earth Day or International Women’s Day.
Not focused on awareness alone.
Focused on lived human connection.
This is the Founding Year.
A week the world pauses.
A week love gets loud.
