SUMMARY:Pride Month 2024
DESCRIPTION:Pride Month is a vibrant and inclusive celebration that honors the LGBTQ+ community\, their history\, achievements\, and ongoing struggle for equality. This annual event serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of acceptance\, diversity\, and love. It brings together individuals\, organizations\, and communities to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and celebrate the progress made towards a more inclusive society. In this article\, we explore the essence of Pride Month 2024\, its history\, and how you can actively participate in this empowering celebration. \nWhat is Pride Month 2024?\nPride Month is a month-long celebration that recognizes the LGBTQ+ community and their contributions to society. It is a time to acknowledge the challenges faced by this community and to stand in solidarity with their fight for equality\, acceptance\, and human rights. Pride Month is a joyful and colorful display of love\, unity\, and resilience\, with events and activities that promote inclusivity\, educate the public\, and celebrate the diversity of sexual orientations and gender identities. \nWhen is Pride Month 2024?\nPride Month is traditionally celebrated in June around the world\, including in the United Kingdom. In 2024\, Pride Month will take place from June 1st to June 30th. This extended period allows for a wide range of events\, parades\, marches\, and discussions to take place\, providing opportunities for LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies to come together and make their voices heard. \nHow can I get involved in Pride Month 2024? Getting involved in Pride Month allows you to actively support the LGBTQ+ community and contribute to a more inclusive society. Here are some ways you can participate: \n\nAttend Pride Parades and Events: Check local listings for Pride parades\, festivals\, and events happening in your area. Participate in the vibrant celebrations\, join marches\, and immerse yourself in the supportive and inclusive atmosphere. These events are an opportunity to show solidarity and celebrate diversity while having a great time.\nEducate Yourself and Others: Take the time to learn about the history\, struggles\, and achievements of the LGBTQ+ community. Read books\, watch films\, listen to podcasts\, and engage in conversations that foster understanding and empathy. Share your knowledge with others\, particularly those who may be less familiar with LGBTQ+ issues\, to promote acceptance and awareness.\nSupport LGBTQ+ Organizations: Consider donating to LGBTQ+ charities and organizations that work towards promoting equality and providing support to the community. Volunteer your time or skills to help organize events or initiatives that uplift and empower LGBTQ+ individuals.\nAdvocate for LGBTQ+ Rights: Use your voice to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and equality in your community and beyond. Engage in conversations\, challenge discriminatory attitudes and behaviors\, and support legislative changes that protect the rights and well-being of LGBTQ+ individuals.\nShow Support on Social Media: Use your online platforms to show support for Pride Month. Share uplifting messages\, stories of LGBTQ+ individuals\, and resources related to LGBTQ+ rights and acceptance. Use hashtags such as #PrideMonth2024 and #LoveIsLove to amplify the message of inclusivity and love.\n\nThe History of Pride Month 2024:\nPride Month has its roots in the Stonewall Uprising\, which occurred in New York City in June 1969. The uprising was a turning point in the LGBTQ+ rights movement\, sparked by a series of protests against police harassment and discrimination. The following year\, the first Pride marches were organized to commemorate the anniversary of the uprising. \nIn the United Kingdom\, the first official Pride march took place in London in 1972. Since then\, Pride Month has grown in significance\, with cities across the UK hosting vibrant parades\, events\, and educational programs throughout June. It serves \nas a platform for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies to celebrate diversity\, raise awareness about LGBTQ+ rights\, and foster a sense of community and acceptance. \nOver the years\, Pride Month has expanded to encompass a wide range of activities\, including art exhibitions\, panel discussions\, film screenings\, and concerts. These events provide spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals to express themselves freely\, share their stories\, and create visibility for their experiences. \nPride Month also serves as a reminder that the fight for LGBTQ+ rights is ongoing. It encourages individuals and communities to advocate for legal protections against discrimination\, work towards inclusive policies and legislation\, and challenge societal prejudices that continue to marginalize LGBTQ+ individuals. \nPride Month 2024 is an opportunity to come together and celebrate the vibrant diversity of the LGBTQ+ community. By participating in Pride Month events\, supporting LGBTQ+ organizations\, and advocating for equality\, we can contribute to a more inclusive and accepting society. Let us embrace the spirit of Pride Month\, stand alongside the LGBTQ+ community\, and work towards a world where love\, acceptance\, and equal rights are celebrated by all.

The event takes place on June 27th and a number of events are organised by the Vision council to help promote the importance of wearing sunglasses. \nResearch has shown that people who do not wear sunglasses risk doing substantial damage to their eyes due to the harmful effects of the sun’s rays.

SUMMARY:Children's Art Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:29 June – 19 July 2024\nChildren’s Art Week is a UK-wide programme run by Engage\, the National Association for Gallery Education. \nIn recent years\, Children’s Art Week has taken place online\, at home and in schools across three weeks in June and July. Each week focussed on a special theme. \nPrevious themes were… \nWeek 1 (from 29 June): The Natural World \nWeek 2 (from 6 July): Connecting across generations \nWeek 3 (from 13 July): Literacy and creative writing \nSchools\, galleries\, museums and community groups were invited to plan and register visual arts activities for children and families. These activities gave children and young people\, together with their teachers\, parents and carers\, the opportunity to take part in practical art activities with artists\, makers and educators. \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how essential creativity and the visual arts are for learning\, connecting and wellbeing. While venues\, cultural organisations and school buildings were closed\, engaging in the visual arts became more important than ever. \nIn 2024\, to support the advocacy work of the visual arts engagement and participation sector\, Engage will celebrate the amazing health and wellbeing work delivered through the sector. Check Engage’s website\, E-bulletin and social media for details. \nEngage is delighted that Children’s Art Week has been adopted by many organisations and individuals. We would therefore encourage you to make your own plans for CAW in 2024! We have a selection of templates to inspire your activity. Please share what you get up to with us by email or social media. \nVenues and organisations of all types and sizes were welcome to register events and activities — from libraries to community halls\, heritage venues and country parks\, schools and of course museums and galleries. Individual artists and makers also took part. \nActivities ranged from a live-streamed session with an artist or special activity packs\, to digital challenges engaging with online collections\, physical resources distributed by post or activity delivered over the phone — think outside the box! Events and activities were filtered by age and location\, so think about whether you would like to connect to a specific history or person from your local area and what age groups you would like to engage with. \nOrganisers are welcome to revisit existing resources and activities to programme for Children’s Art Week 2021. If you have activities\, a campaign or programme already in action\, think about how you can respond to this year’s themes and join in! \nAll registered events or activities\, excluding private events registered by schools or organisations\, must be free or low cost to participate\, and must be able to be accessed or distributed remotely. Organisers will receive support from Engage to plan\, run and publicise their events or activities. \nRegistration will open at the end of May. \nBringing Children and Art Together Children’s Art Week \nChildren’s Art Week takes place in the UK and is organised by Engage. All over the country various events will be held\, giving young people and children the opportunity to get involved in a range of art activities. \nWhat is Engage? \nEngage provides support and training for gallery education. Gallery education refers to a field which works to widen access to the visual arts for everyone. It works with gallery owners and visual arts organisations. The aim is to encourage families\, young people\, disabled people\, older people and early years groups to be more engaged with visual arts. \nHow Children’s Art Week is Celebrated \nEngage invites various organisations such as schools\, museums\, galleries and community groups to organise various visual arts events. Support is provided for organisers with regards planning\, running and advertising events. \nTeachers who want to take part in the celebration can get hints and tips if they want to plan a gallery visit.
