We are creating a transformational festival program to empower kids aged 8-10. Follow the journey as we build the dream!

Be Awesome is a social movement devoted to promoting activities that empower individuals with the freedom to stop, choose and act with integrity.

We have a dream to empower a new generation to embody the awareness of their inner power, through a transformational festival program called the Be Awesome Festival. Right now all of our energy is going into creating the first Be Awesome Festival pilot, taking place in Brisbane, Australia on Saturday 23 May 2015. Click here to learn more about the Be Awesome Festival and to follow our journey in creating the pilot.

Be Awesome began as a personal challenge in January 2013 by founder Christian Duell to blog once a week, sharing the learnings that come through powerful life experiences. From humble beginnings, during 2013 the project quickly grew to incorporate weekly podcasts, inspirational memes featured on Facebook and Instagram and two additional features; Random Acts of Awesome and Who’s Awesome? All of this great content is still available in our Archives section of beawesome.org.au, but for now we’re mostly excited about creating the Be Awesome Festival!
