How to Celebrate OneWebDay
Two Methods:Make the Online World Visible OfflineCelebrate in and Improve the Online World
Celebrate the Internet on OneWebDay on September 22. OneWebDay is recognized yearly, similar to Earth Day. The goal is to hold a global celebration of online life.

The Internet has changed each of our lives. We need to recognize how important it is to us by celebrating and publicly showing how it has affected our lives. Here are some ways you can show the web is worth using, protecting, and, of course, celebrating.
Method 1 of 2: Make the Online World Visible Offline

1Gather friends and family or set up a block party. Ask each person to bring a printout of something unique that one could only find online. Alternatively, have each person share a story about how the web has changed his or her life for the better.

2Visit a senior center and share your knowledge about the web. Teach a grandparent how to start a blog or email a family member for the first time. Get them interested in the web by showing them various web sites that they would be interested in.

3Organize, with your neighbors, to integrate the web into your community. Find out the email addresses of your neighbors and start a neighborhood mailing list. Create a neighborhood blog. Add pictures of your community - local businesses, parks, or events. Ask each resident to write a few words about themselves, and add their email and photos. This could give them the opportunity to recognize and communicate with each other, even though they may not have met before in their own neighborhood.
