International Darwin Day will inspire people everywhere to reflect on the principles of intellectual bravery, perpetual curiosity and hunger for truth as embodied in Charles Darwin. It will be a day of celebration, activism and international cooperation to promote the advancement of science, education and human well-being.

Local and state governments will close in commemoration of the Day, and organizations and businesses will celebrate by engaging in community outreach centered around science as a tool for the betterment of humanity.

Darwin Day will be observed by the United Nations and its members as an opportunity for international partnerships through the common language of science for the common good of all.
