The International Day for Failure

Anyone who has never failed

hasn’t done anything new - Albert Einstein

Let us tell you something you already know

Our culture does not accept failure But… why?

…

Fear of failure prevails like a virus

The result is…

No timely

action for

problems

Discouraged

bold actions

and new starts

Massive

sufferings

and stigmas

…

Let’s re-shape our culture for failure

The one that accepts fear of failure, and understands it as a learning

experience and a natural part of starting anything new or bold.

In order to make it happen,

We must Celebrate Failure

Two years ago in Finland, we started our first The Day for Failure to celebrate

failure and promote understanding of failure as a learning experience and

a natural part of starting anything new or bold.

With a vision to eventually make October 13th

a national flag-raising day, we’ve

interviewed most well-known figures and gathered people together to share their

failure stories and lessons learned.

To our surprise, extensive media coverage and attention from public followed.

Last year, we saw 80,000+ views for our videos, 300+ personal failure stories

shared, as well as 35+ articles covered by major newspapers. Given a small

population of Finland, this was no small number.

Since then, we came to truly believe in our power to make the difference and aspire to amplify our impact on a global scale.

We invite you to be part of this meaningful journey and get involved

with any activities possible to celebrate The International Day for

Failure in your own region.
