Every year, November 21 is World Hello Day.[1] The objective is to say hello to ten people on the day. By greeting others, the message is for world leaders to use communication rather than force to settle conflicts.[2]
The event began in 1973 by Brian and Michael McCormack in response to the conflict between Egypt and Israel.[1] Since then World Hello Day has been observed by people in 180 countries.[citation needed] It has garnered accolades from notable individuals[who?] around the globe including politicians, religious leaders, and celebrities.
