What is Dreamweek?

The goal of Dream Week is to champion a cause through education and motivation, by extending and modernizing the teachings of Martin Luther Kings Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech with the creation of a purposeful summit, relevant to today’s multi-ethnic/ multi-cultural society.

“Dream” is longer. It is “reality.” It’s been once stepping-stone, now placed into action and ready to achieve milestone.

Dream Week is a calling. No longer a vision, it calls to those that wish to contribute to the greater good and calls to those who need further direction for their good to become greater.

Dream Week is an invitation. It’s a week-long exchange of ideas, perspectives and action steps, crafted and woven into the new fabric of America’s society. A colorful and smart tapestry tailored by all ages, all colors, creeds and convictions.

Dream Week is a starting point. Stemming from the MLK March— a day of recognition and remembrance, Dream Week is about resolve, reaching beyond the day and giving its attendees the opportunity to listen, to be inspired and share their points of view with the most prolific and honored voices of our time.

Dream Week is a continuum. It’s a series of inclusive gatherings that move beyond the infamous words. Dream Week will build new bridges in an effort join the collective spirit of the “Dream.” Its aim is to build a better community spirit and empower the “MLK” that lives inside each of us.

Dream Week is a global summit. It’s a convention for change. It takes the foundation of “I Have A Dream” ideals and creates new benchmarks that hold greater relevance and insight for today’s worldview on tolerance and inter-city challenges.

Dream Week is involvement. It’s to include all communities of difference. From racial, cultural, and religious to lifestyles.

Dream Week is reward. It promotes a greater understanding, acceptance, appreciation and how tolerance is achieved for all groups coexisting. It’s a plan of action, open-forum and modern tool to help shape, practice, unify and bond communities. Not black and white, but a spectrum of colors and points-of-view. It breathes life into the “Dreams” people have today in all areas of a global society. It sheds light upon the importance and values of the Arts, food, fashion, dance, performance, education and progress for growing cities, their future and sustainability.

The culmination of Dream Week will close to spotlight local and national leaders with ceremonies and galas in which community leaders will be recognized for their modern “Dream Work.”
