The next generation needs to see what’s possible if you Dream BIG!
The #DreamBigPrincess video series, produced and directed by young women from Girl Up, shares the stories of 20 trailblazing women across technology, entertainment, medicine, law, sports, arts, science, fashion and politics!
The film subjects include trailblazers such as Emily Blunt, Robin Roberts, Kathleen Kennedy, Victoria Arlen, Jennifer Lee, and Apple’s Susan Prescott joining forces with renowned athletes,
doctors, scientists and more. The young women involved in the project hail from 13 countries, including 5 from various local markets in the U.S.
The campaign aims to make a difference for girls who face challenges in achieving their dreams.

The series will be shared across Disney’s global media platforms as a part of a campaign to unlock up to $1 million donation to Girl Up, an initiative of the UN Foundation. Between October 10-November 20, 2018, for each like or share of a public video or photo on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with #DreamBigPrincess, Disney will donate $1 to Girl Up!
Funds generated through this campaign will help support Girl Up's leadership development programs and help more Girl Up Clubs get started in the U.S. and around the world.

Girl Up is UN Foundation intiative.
We are big fans and supporters of Girl Up here at Picturing Disney and loved their #Dream BigPrincess Photography Campaign last year. We attended the stunning exhibition at the UN in November 2017. You can read about it ---> Here.
What a great initiative to encourage the success of young women.
ReplyDeleteWe think so! We love the idea.
Deletereally cool! I had no idea about this
ReplyDeleteSo empowering for girls and women. #girlpower
ReplyDeleteLoving everything about this program. So glad to see an initiative like this moving forward with fire and gusto.
ReplyDeleteI love that Disney is doing this series in partnership with Girls Up! What a great way to encourage young girls to feel empowered by their "princess power." :)
ReplyDeleteYes a modern day Princess is definitely not a damsel in distress!
DeleteThis is a great initiative that will remind and encourage girls to dream big!
ReplyDeleteI love this so much absolutely. Especially being a girl/woman. But, I don't mean this in a NEGATIVE way - but as a Mom to a boy I wish that they had something like this for boys too. We need to encourage ALL of our children to DREAM BIG! Just like Walt!
ReplyDeleteI am a boy Mom as well. We never want to see the young men left behind after all if we teach them from when they are young everyone will benefit. Girl Up is wonderful and I hope a positive initiative for our young men is inspired and picked up by an organization as well.
DeleteHOWEVER - I LOVE the cause that this is for!
ReplyDeletethis is amazing! its always good to encourage kids to always dream big and never give up.
ReplyDeletethis program seems wonderful and I more people get to see it
ReplyDeleteI love this! I had no idea Disney was doing this for girls. Go Girl Power!
