SUMMARY:National Indigenous Peoples Day 2024 (Canada)
DESCRIPTION:National IndigenousPeoples Day (French: Journe nationale des Autochtones) is a day recognising and celebrating the cultures and contributions of the First Nations\, Inuit and Metis peoples of Canada. The day was first celebrated in 1996\, after it was proclaimed that year by then Governor General of Canada Romo LeBlanc\, to be celebrated on 21 June annually.\n21 June was chosen as the statutory holiday for many reasons-including its cultural significance as the Summer solstice\, and the fact that it is a day on which many Aboriginal groups traditionally celebrate their heritage.

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:World Refugee Day is held on June 20th. This is an annual event\, held on the same date each year.\nWorld Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees\, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster. \nRefugees are vulnerable and in need\, and are often misunderstood and maligned\, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food\, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

SUMMARY:Brake's Kids Walk 2024
DESCRIPTION:It is every child’s right to be able to walk in their community without fear of traffic and pollution. Danger from traffic is a big factor in whether families are able to walk safely in the places where they live. It affects their ability to be healthy and socially active.\nChildren of all ages are at risk of being hurt or killed when walking near roads. On average\, six children are killed or seriously injured on roads in Britain every day – that’s equivalent to a whole class of children every single week. \nBrake’s Kids Walk is a great way to inspire and engage children about the dangers they face and raise awareness among parents and the wider community about the need to protect children on roads. \nIt’s also a great opportunity to fundraise for Brake and support families who have lost loved ones in road crashes.

SUMMARY:Autistic Pride Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, organisations from across the globe celebrate Autistic Pride Day on June 18 with a variety of events. The aim of this day is to raise awareness amongst those who are not on the autistic spectrum disorder so they do not see autistic people as requiring treatment\, but as unique individuals. \nThis annual event was first celebrated by Aspies for Freedom in 2005 and they modelled Autistic Pride Day on the gay pride movement. One of the most significant aspects of the day is that it is not run by charities; it is run by autistic people themselves. Since its beginnings\, Autistic Pride Day has been a community event and not a day for other organisations to promote themselves by stifling autistic people. It is now a global celebration that takes place predominantly online. \nAutistic Pride Day is represented by the rainbow infinity symbol. This symbol is intended to represent the diversity of autistic people and the infinite possibilities and variations within the autistic community. \nAccording to representatives of Autistic Pride Day\, people with autism have unique characteristics that provide them with both rewards and challenges. Although many of the difficulties they face are because of their neurodiversity\, another factor is issues in society. For example\, society’s attitude towards autism is often one of pity or a belief that it is a condition requiring treatment. \nActivists want to shift attitudes away from this and towards acceptance and the realisation that autism is a difference rather than a disability.

SUMMARY:World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought 2024
DESCRIPTION:Since 1994\, June 17th has been the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought to draw public attention to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and it has been celebrated ever since.\nDesertification is an increasing ecological problem. It occurs when previously fertile land becomes desert through deforestation\, drought or improper agriculture. The Convention specifically covers the areas of the planet which are the most at risk of desertification. These areas are often home to some of the most vulnerable people and eco-systems. Each June 17th\, the World Day to Combat Desertification is promoted worldwide to raise public awareness of\, and support for\, international efforts in combating desertification and the effects of drought. \nThe 196 parties to the convention try to improve living conditions for people in these areas by restoring and maintaining the soil fertility and by mitigating the effects of drought. The parties encourage participation by local people on schemes to fight desertification and land degradation such as tree planting. They firmly believe that land degradation neutrality is possible though strong community involvement and cooperation at all levels. \nThe UNCCD Secretariat\, the country parties to the convention and its stakeholders try to educate the public about effective methods to work the land without causing degradation. The invested organisations celebrate the day by organising outreach programmes and by holding awareness raising events.

SUMMARY:Sewing Machine Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:A Day That Celebrates the Invention of the Sewing MachineHow many of you have heard of National Sewing Machine Day? We’d put money on there only being a few. Who is responsible for creating this unusual day? We really couldn’t find a culprit. What is its purpose? To celebrate the invention of the sewing machine of course. It is observed every year on June 13.\nWho Invented the Sewing Machine?\nThis is a much easier question to answer. It was English inventor Thomas Saint who applied for the first sewing machine patent\, in 1790. The design for Thomas’s sewing machine was never taken any further\, and there is no evidence that his machine for stitching leather and canvas was ever made. \nA working model of a sewing machine wasn’t made until 1874. A guy named William Newton Wilson found the drawings made by Saint in the Patent Office in London. He made some adjustments to the design and went on to build a working model. This model is now on display in the London Science Museum. \nSewing machines have been used in industrial settings for many years\, and it wasn’t all that long ago you would have found one in many people’s homes. They went out of fashion for several years\, with the influx of cheap manufactured clothes and furnishings. But are currently enjoying a bit of a revival. \nIf you want to celebrate National Sewing Machine Day\, the best way to do it is to get stitching and make something for yourself or your family.

SUMMARY:Carers Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:About Carers Week\nCarers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring\, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support. \nThe campaign is brought to life by thousands of individuals and organisations who come together to provide support for carers\, run activities and highlight the vital role carers play in our communities\, drawing attention to just how important caring is. \nCarers need to be recognised for the difficulties they are experiencing\, respected for all they are doing\, provided with information\, and given the support they need to care safely. \nA carer is anyone who looks after a family member or friend who has a disability\, mental or physical illness\, addiction\, or who needs extra help as they grow older. Caring’s impact on all aspects of life from relationships and health to finances and work can be significant. Whilst many feel that caring is one of the most important things they do\, its challenges should not be underestimated. Caring without the right information and support can be tough. It is vitally important that we recognise the contribution carers make to their families and local communities\, workplaces and society\, and that they get the support they need. \nFind out how you can get involved in this year’s Carer’s Week here\, and show your support by saying “I Care” on social media.

Here are some ideas on how you can actively get involved: \n\nOrganize a Community Meal: Gather your neighbors and friends to plan a community meal. It can be a potluck-style event where everyone brings a dish to share\, or you can coordinate a barbeque\, picnic\, or even a themed food event. The goal is to create a welcoming space for people to come together\, share food\, and enjoy each other’s company.\nStreet Party: Collaborate with your neighbors to organize a street party or a neighborhood-wide celebration. Close off a section of your street (with appropriate permissions)\, set up tables and chairs\, and encourage everyone to bring food and beverages. Add some entertainment\, such as music\, games\, or activities\, to create a festive atmosphere.\nCommunity Garden Gathering: If your community has a shared garden or green space\, consider hosting a gathering in that space. Invite fellow gardeners and neighbors to come together\, share stories about their gardens\, and enjoy a meal amidst the beauty of nature.\nReach Out to Local Organizations: Connect with local organizations\, community centers\, or schools to see if they are planning any Big Lunch events. Offer your assistance or participate in their activities.

Encourage your neighbors and friends to get involved and make The Big Lunch a memorable event in your area.\n\nThe History of The Big Lunch:\nThe Big Lunch was initiated by the Eden Project\, a UK-based educational charity\, in 2009. The aim was to bring people together\, promote community connections\, and combat social isolation. Since then\, The Big Lunch has grown into a national movement\, with millions of people participating each year. It has become a symbol of unity\, friendship\, and the power of shared meals instrengthening communities. \nOver the years\, The Big Lunch has witnessed countless heartwarming stories of neighbors becoming friends\, new connections being forged\, and communities coming together to support one another. It has become a much-anticipated event in neighborhoods across the country\, where people look forward to enjoying good food\, lively conversations\, and a sense of belonging. \nThe Big Lunch has also inspired various community-led initiatives\, such as ongoing neighborhood gatherings\, shared gardening projects\, and collaborative efforts to address local issues. It has shown that something as simple as sharing a meal can have a profound impact on community cohesion\, happiness\, and overall well-being. \nAs The Big Lunch 2024 approaches\, let us embrace the spirit of togetherness and take this opportunity to connect with our neighbors\, celebrate diversity\, and build stronger\, more resilient communities. By participating in The Big Lunch\, we contribute to a shared experience that goes beyond a single day – it fosters a sense of unity that can have a lasting positive impact on our communities. \nSo\, mark your calendars for The Big Lunch 2024 and start planning how you can bring your community together. Whether it’s organizing a community meal\, hosting a street party\, or collaborating with local organizations\, your efforts will contribute to the vibrant tapestry of community life and create memories that will be cherished for years to come. \nRemember\, The Big Lunch is not just about the food we share\, but also about the connections we make and the friendships we nurture. It’s about creating a space where everyone feels welcome\, included\, and valued. So\, let’s come together\, break bread\, and celebrate the power of community during The Big Lunch 2024. \nIn the words of The Big Lunch motto\, “Start something small\, create something big!”

SUMMARY:World Milk Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Raise a glass to celebrate World Milk Day 2024\nWe say Cheers’\, Mma manu’\, Yam sing‚to the parents who make sure there’s always a carton in the fridge\, to the hard working dairy farmers\, to the organisations who provide dairy supplements to help tackle famine and malnutrition\, to the huge network of people who help us to enjoy milk. \nAs we Raise a Glass to milk\, we connect with others and invite them to join the celebration that the goodness represents. It allows us to share the stories about all the goodness of milk and all the people who produce it. It offers a simple\, natural way to recognize the people who matter most to us ‚ in our communities\, schools and homes. \nBack in 2001\, somebody decided that the world should take a day to celebrate anything and everything related to milk. They requested that the FAO (the Food and Agriculture Organisations of the United Nations) should put forward a specific day for these festivities they selected June 1st\, and the rest his history! \nThe tradition of celebrating World Milk Day on June 1st came from the fact that many countries were already celebrating World Milk Day on or around this date. A date in late May was originally proposed\, but some countries felt that they already had too many holidays around this time. As a result\, June 1st became the special day dedicated to milk. \nWorld Milk Day puts a lot of attention on milk and does a great job in publicising activities connected with the milk industry. The fact that many countries around the globe all choose this specific day for World Milk Day shows that milk is a food that is cherished worldwide.

SUMMARY:International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers 2024
DESCRIPTION:Every May 29th\, the world celebrates the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers.\nThe United Nations Peacekeepers are a force made up of over 113\,000 people\, (though more than a million have served since it first started 70 years ago) both police forces and civilians. Created from 125 countries\, and serving in 14 missions all over the world currently. They are used to protect and care for civilians\, disarm ex-combatants\, ensure ceasefires are kept\, protect human rights\, the rules of law and supporting free and fair democracy. They also work tirelessly to make sure women’s voices are heard and growing in civilian\, military and political life. \nThe International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers was created to celebrate the people who serve with the force and veterans of the service\, pay tribute to those who have lost their lives trying to make the world a better place through the force and help bring awareness of this force for good in the world. While many are aware of the Peacekeepers\, very few are aware of what missions it carries out constantly. The budget for the force is also only less than 0.5% of the money spent in military worldwide. \nThis year alone\, they are present in Cote d’Ivoire\, Haiti\, Liberia\, Southern Sudan\, Mali and continue to work across the globe on removing landmines and explosives abandoned after wars. These explosives continue to be a problem for many people trying to put their lives back together after war and expand farmland\, create new communities and just explore.

SUMMARY:Oak Apple Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:As perhaps the most British day in the calendar\, Oak Apple Day has absolutely nothing to do with celebrating apples themselves and everything to do with the restoration of the monarchy\, following the rule of Oliver Cromwell and his anti-royal cohorts. Cromwell was a man so miserable that he banned Christmas\, and it was for this (but probably more the execution of Charles I) that he was dug up two years after he died and posthumously executed. What a time to be alive. \nOther names for Oak Apple Day include Restoration Day\, Royal Oak Day\, Shick Shack Day\, Packie Bonner Day\, Oak and Nettle Day\, and Yak Bob Day. Apart from Packie Bonner Day we made that one up using the name of the former Celtic and Ireland goalkeeper. But you’d believe it if we left it in\, wouldn’t you?

SUMMARY:World Hunger Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Everyone Deserves to Eat\, Support World Hunger Day 2024\nIt has been estimated that almost 800 million people in the world don’t have enough food to eat. This is quite a staggering figure. In 2011\, The Hunger Project started an initiative known as World Hunger Day. Celebrating sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty is the aim of this day. \nWhat is The Hunger Project? \nIt is a global organisation committed to finding a tenable solution to world hunger. Leaders of this organisation include business executives\, heads of state and experts in women’s rights and social justice. It was founded in 1977 and is a worldwide\, non-profit group of like-minded people. \nWhat You Can do to Show Your Support \nOne of the most obvious ways is to make a donation to the The Hunger Project Trust. Money raised will go to help both men and women in developing countries become agents of their own development. There is a Social Media Toolkit that can be used for sharing posts on Facebook\, Twitter and Instagram. You can tell your friends about World Hunger Day and ask for their support. \nAre You Brave Enough to Try a Week Without Sugar? \nAnyone interested in showing their support is being encouraged to give up sugar for one week. That means no added\, processed sugar or artificial sweeteners. It won’t be easy but is a good way to show support for all the millions of people around the world who live below the poverty line and go to bed hungry every night.

SUMMARY:National Epilepsy Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:From May 24 to May 30\, National Epilepsy Week will be taking place to raise awareness for those affected by epilepsy\, what epilepsy is\, who’s affected and what can be done to help those who suffer from this condition.\nWhat is epilepsy? \nEpilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain and causes recurring seizures or fits in people. Due to an uncontrolled increase of excess electrical activity in the brain interfering with the normal functions\, this causes a short interruption to the relay of messages in the brain. \nWho’s affected? \nApproximately 500\,000 people in the England are diagnosed with epilepsy\, affecting people of all ages\, from newborns to the elderly. \nWhat can be done to help? \nLearning to recognise the symptoms of a seizure is a great place to start helping those affected\, as well as knowing what to do when a seizure occurs to minimise the harm done to both the person and those around them. You can also look into lobbying for more support for those affected by epilepsy\, so they can get the treatment and care they deserve. \nAll in all\, epilepsy is a condition affecting more people than you might think\, and by knowing the early warning signs and what to do when a seizure occurs can make a big difference helping those affected by the chronic condition.

SUMMARY:National Conversation Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:What is National Conversation Week?\nNational Conversation Week is all about the simple\, pleasurable\, and rewarding art of simply talking to each other. \nWe’re very much a society that’s “always on” and\, unfortunately\, the art of human conversation is becoming lost in a sea of emojis\, swiping right (ask your single friends)\, chatbots\, and dwindling attention spans. \nWhether it’s keeping in touch with friends\, updating a colleague at work\, or trying to find the best insurance deal\, most of us are guilty of hiding behind a screen to send a quick text\, fire off an email\, post a social media message or search online rather than taking the take the time to speak with somebody. \nThat’s why we’re encouraging everyone in the UK to spend the week trying a little bit harder to engage with those around them be they a friend\, family member\, colleague\, or customer. We’re not asking you to throw away your phone and we’re not trying to send the UK back to the 90s (although arguably the music was better!). We simply want everyone to talk more. \nNational Conversation Week 2024 is focused on the inquisitive side of conversation\, the one that helps us gain an understanding of the world around us – asking questions. \nAsking questions is incredibly important\, as inquisitive conversations develop deeper knowledge and boost confidence\, as well expanding the human connection. However\, whether it’s concerns over wasting someone’s time\, admitting they don’t understand something or a general lack of self-assurance – for some people\, asking questions is a total no-go. \n\nWhen is National Conversation Week 2024?\nThis year’s National Conversation Week will be taking place from the 23rd – 29th May. \n\nHow to get involved in National Conversation Week.\nThroughout National Conversation Week and beyond\, we’re encouraging people to ask more questions – and most importantly\, combat the widespread fear around asking what they deem to be ‘stupid questions’. \nAsking questions is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value: it spurs learning and the exchange of ideas\, fuels innovation builds rapport and trust. \nSo\, next time there’s a question on the tip of your tongue\, go ahead and ask it. After all\, if you don’t ask\, you’ll never know. \nTo find out more about how you can get involved with National Conversation Week 2024\, visit www.nationalconversationweek.com

SUMMARY:European Neighbours' Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Every Year at the End of May is European Neighbour’s Day\nNeighbour’s Day celebrations take place all over the world. The European Neighbour’s Day is held at the end of may and encourages residents groups and housing organisations to participate and organise their own individual events. \nWhat is the Goal of Neighbour’s Day? \nNeighbour’s day is organised by the European Federation of Local Solidarity. The aim of the day is to promote better community communication and cohesion. Social bonds are becoming thinner and people are leading more solitary lives. Neighbour’s Day is meant to counteract this and encourages people to have fun getting together. \nThe celebration was first launched in Paris in 2000. Ever since then\, more and more countries have been taking part. Last year\, for example\, there were more than 30 million participants from 36 different countries. \nHow You Can Take Part \nAll it takes to participate is the organising of a party with your neighbours. It could be in your own garden\, out in the street or in a local community hall. The idea is to get people together so that neighbours who rarely speak can talk to each other and have fun together. \nSupport is available from EFLS and there is even an award that housing associations\, organisers and mayors can put themselves forward for. A promotional video\, guide\, timetable and press kit is also provided for organisers needs.

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000. It was founded by American Tortoise Rescue.\nThe purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtle and tortoises. It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world. There are many people that dress as turtles while others may just decide to wear something green. People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face. It is also something that children enjoy getting involved in. \nAmerican Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Susan Tellem and Marshall Thompson. It is a nonprofit organisation that rescues and rehabilitates all species of tortoise and turtle. It also does a lot of work on protecting the environments in which these animals live. They will always try and find new homes for the animals but if this is not possible then they will remain in the care of the ATR.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2024
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. Bridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \nCultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \nAt the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \nIn 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \nThe day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \nSupport sustainable systems of governance for culture \nAchieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals \nIntegrate culture in sustainable development frameworks \nPromote human rights and fundamental freedoms

SUMMARY:Water Saving Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:The UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having an extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

SUMMARY:World Salt Awareness Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:Salt Awareness Week will take place slightly later from the 15th – 21st May in 2024. \nEach year Action on Salt organise a national ‘Salt Awareness Week’ and an international ‘World Salt Awareness Week’ to help raise awareness of the damaging effect of too much salt to our health. \nThe annual campaign is our chance to talk directly to the general public\, shining a light on the hidden salt in our favourite food products and encouraging those who don’t want their food\, and their children’s food\, laden with unnecessary salt to take action. We produce posters\, leaflets and factsheets\, which are then made available for order by hospitals\, GP surgeries\, health charities\, schools\, universities and anyone with an interest in salt\, food or health! These resources are intended for local community events during the week\, or for display year round in pharmacies and GP surgeries\, helping our salt reduction messages reach a wide range of people. Last year there were more than 300 supporting events up and down the country. \nFor many years\, our annual Salt Awareness Week campaign has been scheduled according to the UK policy calendar in March. We’re pleased to announce that the campaign will now take place in the third week of May – every year! \nThis new and consistent date allows supporters in the UK and internationally to plan their own activities to mark the awareness week ahead of time.  We look forward to working with you to get salt reduction onto the global agenda\, stay tuned for more information on the theme and resources for the week. \nHeart attacks and strokes are the biggest causes of death and disability in the UK\, with two people suffering from these often-debilitating conditions every 5 minutes. The strain this is having\, not only on the individual and their families\, but on our struggling NHS cannot be ignored.   \nMost cases are entirely preventable\, and so it’s vital we all take measures to improve our health and prevent these events from happening in the first place. It’s a little-known fact that eating less salt is one of the quickest and most effective ways of improving our health\, with just 1 less ‘pinch’ a day preventing over 4\,000 heart attacks and strokes every year in the UK. But how can we cut back on our salt\, when everything we buy is full of it?   \nFrom sliced bread to biscuits\, Friday night takeaways to ‘healthy’ salads\, everything has added salt. In fact\, three quarters of the salt we eat is already in the foods we buy\, and it’s impossible to take it out once it’s been added in.   \nJoin us as we call on food companies to Ditch the Salt for the sake of our hearts  \nIf you would like to be involved this year\, whether you are a food business\, a charity\, a community organisation\, a politician\, a school\, or a libertarian think tank\, we would love to hear from you!  \nPlease get in touch: cash@qmul.ac.uk   \nSupport our campaign and join the conversation on Twitter: #SaltAwarenessWeek

SUMMARY:National Stationery Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:If you think this is a celebration of not moving\, then your spelling needs a bit of work National Stationery Week is all about cheerleading the act of writing by hand\, and encouraging people from all around the globe to share details of their favourite pens\, pencils\, sharpeners\, and whatever fills their pencil cases. If they have one. It’s certainly an odd get-together\, but one that may be taking advantage of a shift in trends that may force people to abandon the venture of handwriting altogether. \nIn a world where people like us are typing this on a keyboard instead of writing it by hand\, it might be quite a good initiative; for all we know\, handwriting may be a trade as dead as lamp-lighting\, town crying or door-to-door sales. So\, get your Staedtler Noris school pencils\, your Helix 30cm rulers and your Bic for Her range of comfortable\, female-friendly medium ballpoint pens\, and go wild for a week.

SUMMARY:National Limerick Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Everybody needs a bit of silliness in their lives from time to time and National Limerick Day provides the perfect annual opportunity. Celebrated each year on the 12th May the familiar five line verse is renowned for its humorous\, sometimes bawdy themes. Instantly recognisable from the rhythm of the verse they are cleverly constructed to put a smile on the face.\nNational Limerick Day is set on 12th May to mark the birthday of Edward Lear\, the English writer known for his works of nonsensical prose and poetry. It was Edward Lear who was to popularise the Limerick in his A Book of Nonsense\, published 1846. His limericks were popular then and this form of nonsense literature has managed to retain its appeal to this day. \nLimericks will normally have the first\, second and final lines ending with the same rhyme\, while the third and fourth shorter lines have their own rhyme as illustrated below: \nThere was an Old Man with a beard\,\nWho said\, ‘It is just as I feared!\nTwo Owls and a Hen\,\nFour Larks and a Wren\,\nHave all built their nests in my beard!’ \nThis style of verse can act as a great introduction to the idea of poetry for children and National Limerick Day helps to maintain awareness of this brand of poem. Although limericks were not invented by Edward Lear\, holding National Limerick Day on his birthday is a suitable nod to the man who brought them to the larger public’s attention.

SUMMARY:National Teacher Day in the USA 2024
DESCRIPTION:Teachers play a very important role in the development of every nation\, that’s why their work is appreciated in many countries around the world\, including the USA. National Teacher Day is celebrated in the USA annually since 1985.\nThe history of National Teacher Day can be traced back to 1944\, however\, its origin is murky. Mattye Whyte Woodridge\, a teacher from Arkansas\, had an idea of establishment a Teacher Day and around 1944 he started corresponding with educational and political leaders. \nHe insisted on the need for a national holiday to honor the work of teachers.Woodridge wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt to describe his idea\, and she persuaded the 81st Congress to proclaim a National Teacher Day. But there was still a long way ahead for it. \nThe National Education Association\, Kansas and Indiana states lobbied Congress to create the national holiday for all teachers. And finally\, Congress declared March 7\, 1980 to be National Teacher Day for that year only. \nThe National Education Association continued to observe the holiday in March\, till its Representative Assembly voted to change the date in 1985. The date of the event was moved to Tuesday during the first full week of May\, that is also Teacher Appreciation Week.

SUMMARY:National Day of Reason 2024
DESCRIPTION:National Day of Reason is a secular celebration\, annually observed on the first Thursday in May.\nThis legal celebration was established for all atheists\, humanists and secularists\, who can’t celebrate National Day of Prayer. The dates of both days coincide. National Day of Prayer was created for all Americans to turn to God\, gather together and pray for peace and prosperity of the nation. However\, not all Americans consider themselves to be members of any religion and thus they can’t pray. National Day of Reason was created only for them to have a reason to celebrate. However\, this secular holiday also raises public awareness of the threat to religious liberty posed by American government intrusion into the private sphere of worship. \nNational Day of Reason was created in 2003 by the American Humanist Association. In 2005 the observance was strongly advocated by the Center for Atheism and they marked it with blood donation. During the next years the popularity of this observance grew. In 2011 and 2012 the representative Pete Stark supported the proclamation of National Day of Reason in the House of Representatives and the resolution to honor this day was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. \nDifferent events are organized by many associations on National Day of Reason. These events vary from blood donations and food drives to secular celebrations as alternatives to National Day of Prayer. Many individuals protest observance of National Day of Prayer.

SUMMARY:International Dance Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:UNESCO has a habit of reserving 24 hours for everything in the field of performing arts\, so it’s perhaps no surprise that there’s an annual International Dance Day. It has been earmarked as a celebration for anyone who attaches value and importance to dance\, and acts as a wake-up-call for governments\, politicians and institutions which have not yet recognised its value.\nWhile this sounds just a little bit overboard\, you’d be surprised at how many places frown upon or outright ban the act of dancing. Even in the US\, strict Southern Baptists don’t dance\, and this led to the famous hard work of Chicago teen Ren McCormack\, who proved them wrong and overcame the community through the medium of dance in the hard-hitting 1984 documentary Footloose.

SUMMARY:English Language Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:English\, along with French\, is one of the two working languages of the United Nations Secretariat\, and one of the Organization’s six official languages.\nBecause it is so widely spoken\, English is often referred to as a “world language”\, or the lingua franca of the modern era.\nEnglish Language Day is a United Nations (UN) observance that people celebrate on April 23 each year. It coincides with William Shakespeare’s birthday and World Book and Copyright Day. \nCelebrate English Language Day\nEnglish Language Day aims to entertain and inform people about the history\, culture and achievements associated with the language.

SUMMARY:Saint George's Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:So here it is: another opportunity for red-blooded English people\, and a handful of tabloids\, to complain that St George’s Day isn’t a national holiday. That said\, they might have a point a mere 600+ years ago\, it was a holiday on par with Christmas in the UK. Known to have defeated a dragon which almost certainly didn’t exist\, St George was most famously killed for refusing to recant his Christian faith\, effectively opening the door to sainthood. In England\, the occasion is still quite the lacklustre affair indeed\, St Patrick’s Day probably gets more people in the pubs.\nBut for those looking to *really* celebrate St George\, he isn’t just the preserve of England; he’s particularly popular in Portugal\, Spain\, Bulgaria and even Russia\, for all manner of reasons and they all host events in his honour. In Georgia\, the St George Cross features prominently in the country’s flag though contrary to popular belief\, the nation wasn’t named after the man himself.

SUMMARY:World Book Night 2024
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve never found a book you’ve liked\, there’s a good chance that you’ve not tried that many books and World Book Night is here to prove to both children and adults that there are plenty of opportunities to get lost in a good book. Every year\, the occasion is coordinated by the Reading Agency\, a national charity that aims to help people become confident and enthusiastic readers. \nWorld Book Night celebrates both reading and books every year on April 23rd\, when books are distributed throughout the UK to specifically\, but not exclusively\, reach those who don’t often get the opportunity to read – hospitals\, prisons\, homeless shelters and care homes are a particular focus. Those who love a good book are asked to give out their own books to similarly affected people in their own communities or the wider UK. \nFor the past 6 years World Book Night has also been celebrated in the USA as well as the UK and Ireland\, with almost 50\,000 people giving away a million books across the three different countries.

SUMMARY:World Voice Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:WVD (World Voice Day) is a global annual event held on 16 April dedicated to the phenomenon of voice celebration. The aim is to show the enormous value of the voice in the people’s daily lives. Voice is an important aspect of healthy and effective communication. The WVD brings worldwide awareness of the necessity of preventing voice issues\, training the artistic voice\, rehabilitating the sick or deviant voice as well as researching the application and function of the voice.\nThe World Voice Day goal is to encourage people using their voice for pleasure or business to learn how they can take care of their voice plus know how they can seek help as well as training and also support research that is carried on the voice. The production of voice is normally studied and applied in lots of disciplines like biology\, art\, phonetics\, psychology\, physics\, music\, speech-language pathology and medicine. \nThe idea to dedicate a special day\, annually on 16 April to the voice was first launched in the year 1999 by the Society of Laryngology & Voice in Brazil. In 2002\, Professor Mario Andre\, the Portuguese laryngologist\, then the European Laryngological Society president\, suggested that people all over the world should celebrate World Voice Day. \nThat idea was developed further and adopted in different nations. In 2012\, Dr Filipa  from Portugal\, Prof. Tecumseh Fitch from Austria and Prof. Johan Sundberg from Sweden\, who were all voice researchers\, invited voice experts from several nations to form a global group for the World Voice Day celebration. Currently\, the group has 66 members; these members initiate\, as well as help\, coordinate the World Voice Day events in their respective nations.

SUMMARY:Thomas Jefferson's Birthday 2024
DESCRIPTION:April 13 is Thomas Jefferson’s Birthday\, the third President of the USA. He is considered as an American Founding Father and the author of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13\, 1743. He had a prominent career as a politician.\nHe was a spokesman for democracy\, represented Virginia in the Continental Congress\, embraced the position of Governor of Virginia\, served as the U.S. Minister to France and was the United States Secretary of State. \nPerhaps Jefferson’s most famous and biggest achievement was his contribution to the Declaration of Independence\, being the principal author\, proclaiming all 13 colonies to be independent sovereign states no longer governed by the British Empire. \nDuring Jefferson’s presidency\, he slashed military expenditures\, cut the budget\, and eliminated the tax on whiskey\, while simultaneously reducing the national debt by over 30%. Thomas Jefferson died in 1826 at the age of 83. Jefferson served his country for over 50 years of his life as a public official\, historian\, and philosopher. \nWhilst Jefferson is widely considered to be one of the worlds most liberal politicians and achieved much change and improvement in the lives of Americans throughout his life\, he has also come under scrutiny due to his dependace upon slavery and his beliefs that American Society remain a white mans domain. Clearly this contradiction of character and ideology has caused many to question his liberal beliefs and subsequently turned Jefferson into a paradoxical hero. \nA much documented and commented upon life (even appearing in hit musical Hamilton!)\, one thing that Thomas Jeffersons time on this earth did leave us with\, were the many inspiring and philisophical quotes; this being one of our favourites. \nWe hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness. \nLove him or loathe him\, we definitely think he has a point don’t you? \n  \n.

SUMMARY:World Homeopathy Awareness Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:World Homeopathy Awareness Week is celebrated annually between April 10th and April 16th. Organised by the World Homeopathy Awareness Organisation\, the week is a celebration of both homeopaths and those who have been healed with homeopathy.

SUMMARY:National Siblings Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Siblings day\, usually held on the 10th of April is a holiday that celebrates siblings relationships. April 10th is fast approaching\, and you should probably be calling your siblings to hatch up a plan on how to spend the day. Siblings are an incredible gift from God and anyone who has a brother or sister should not let the day just pass by without celebrating them.\nUnfortunately\, siblings day is not recognized by federal governments and the day is therefore not necessarily a national holiday. That means you’ll have to wake up and get to work just like any other day. However\, that is not a reason not to celebrate it. You can always take time off your busy schedule and get together with your siblings for some quality time. \nAmerica has been proactive in trying to get the day recognized as a national holiday by federal governments. 49 states in the United States have been in the forefront pushing for this agenda. India and Australia have also made inroads in getting the day marked appropriately. \nThe siblings day organization has also made tremendous efforts to get this important holiday recognized. The holiday is an invention of one Claudia Evart\, who invented it in a bid to celebrate the lives of her sister and brother who had died while still young.It is not every day that we get to be with our siblings especially when we grow up. Get involved in the national siblings day and take time to appreciate your brother or sister. You can join the conversation about siblings day through the hashtag #NationalSiblingsDay

SUMMARY:National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day in the USA 2024
DESCRIPTION:National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day is observed annually on April 9. \nThis day was introduced to honor American veterans of any wars that returned home after being released from prisons. The date of April 9 was chosen to commemorate the same day in 1942\, when United States forces were surrendered by the Imperial Japanese Army on the Bataan Peninsula\, beginning the Bataan Death March. All survivors were loaded to a box train and brought to the Camp O’Donnell. During the march prisoners were physically abused that caused their death. \nThe actions of Japanese Army were later judged to be a Japanese war crime. National Former POW Recognition Day had been observed from 1942 to 1976 on national level\, but later only some states held commemorative services. Memorial marches took place at New Mexico and Minnesota\, memorial service was held at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii. Due to the President Barack Obama’s initiatives\, and continuation by President Trump\, this day is observed on federal level.

SUMMARY:World Health Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:World Health Day’s message is simple: giving people access to healthcare without the prospect of financial hardship. This is regardless of where they’re from; they could be in Africa\, Asia\, South America or the United States. What matters to the World Health Organisation (WHO)\, the group behind it\, is that there’s Health for All. \nIt has its reasons\, too. The WHO asserts\, following countless studies\, that countries which invest in universal healthcare will make a sound investment in their human capital; indeed\, access to a very bottom line of care and financial protection will not only truly improve someone’s health and life expectancy\, but also protects countries from epidemics\, reduces poverty and the risk of hunger\, creates jobs\, drives economic growth and enhances gender equality. \nThat’s quite the ideal to push towards\, and a day that ought to be celebrated as much as any other on our calendar!

SUMMARY:Education and Sharing Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:What is Education and Sharing Day 2019 and when is it?Founded by President Jimmy Carter in 1978\, Education and Sharing Day 2024 is on April 12th\, and is an annual USA day of observance. \nEducation and Sharing Day was founded in honour of\, and on the 80th Birthday of\, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson\, commonly known as ‘The Rebbe’\, who was considered to be one of the greatest 20th Century spiritual leaders. \nEducation and Sharing Day falls on the 11th of the Jewish month of Nissan each year\, and as the Jewish and Gregorian Calendars are different and don’t synchronize\, the date of Education and Sharing Day on the Western Calendar is different each year\, but it is usually during March or April. \nEducation and Sharing Day honours the Rabbi’s commitment to improving Judaism and mankind through culture and education\, especially by founding centres for culture\, education and socialisation for young Jewish people. These centres are known as Chabad Houses\, and are mainly located on or near university campuses. Chabad houses are still going strong and providing community and culture for Jewish Students. \nBut Shneerson’s work wasn’t limited to Jewish youth\, he made a significant contribution to the education and betterment of the population in general. And that is also honoured on Education and Sharing Day. \nEducation and Sharing Day is marked by events and parades\, some parades are quite big and well known\, for example the parade in Crown Heights\, Brooklyn\, New York\, which is run by Tzivos Hashem (Jewish Child International).

SUMMARY:International Dark-Sky Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration\, learning\, and action!\n2024 International Dark Sky Week is\, April the 2nd – the 8th! \nCreated in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow\, International Dark Sky Week has grown to become a worldwide event and a key component of Global Astronomy Month. Each year it is held in April around Astronomy Day. \nIn explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. I want to help preserve its wonder. \nInternational Dark Sky Week draws attention to the problems associated with light pollution and promotes simple solutions available to mitigate it. \nAlso read 5 Ways to Celebrate Dark Sky Week! \nLight Pollution Matters \nThe nighttime environment is a crucial natural resource for all life on Earth\, but the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting has hidden the stars\, radically changing the nighttime environment. \nBefore the advent of electric light in the 20th century\, our ancestors experienced a night sky brimming with stars that inspired science\, religion\, philosophy\, art and literature including some of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. \nThe common heritage of a natural night sky is rapidly becoming unknown to the newest generations. In fact\, millions of children across the globe will never see the Milky Way from their own homes. \nWe are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. \nFor nocturnal animals in particular\, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds\, sea turtle hatchlings\, and insects. \nHumans are not immune to the negative effects of light in their nighttime spaces. Excessive exposure to artificial light at night\, particularly blue light\, has been linked to increased risks for obesity\, depression\, sleep disorders\, diabetes and breast cancer.

SUMMARY:Easter Sunday 2024
DESCRIPTION:The week before Easter is called Holy Week\, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum\, including Maundy Thursday\, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper\, as well as Good Friday\, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. In western Christianity\, Eastertide\, the Easter Season\, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts seven weeks\, ending with the coming of the fiftieth day\, Pentecost Sunday. In Orthodoxy\, the season of Pascha begins on Pascha and ends with the coming of the fortieth day\, the Feast of the Ascension. \nEaster and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Juliancalendars which follow only the cycle of the sun; rather\, its date is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established two rules\, independence of the Jewish calendar and worldwide uniformity\, which were the only rules for Easter explicitly laid down by the council. No details for the computation were specified; these were worked out in practice\, a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies. It has come to be the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or soonest after 21 March\, but calculations vary in East and West. Details of this complicated computation are found below in the section Date. \nEaster is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism\, as well as by its position in the calendar. In many languages\, the words for “Easter” and “Passover” are identical or very similar. Easter customs vary across the Christian world\, and includesunrise services\, exclaiming the Paschal greeting\, clipping the church\, and decorating Easter eggs\, a symbol of the empty tomb. The Easter lily\, a symbol of the resurrection\, traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide. Additional customs that have become associated with Easter and are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians include egg hunting\, the Easter Bunny\, and Easter parades. There are also various traditionalEaster foods that vary regionally.

DESCRIPTION:Good Friday is a Christian religious holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday\, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover.

SUMMARY:National Vietnam War Veterans Day in the USA 2024
DESCRIPTION:National Vietnam War Veterans Day is celebrated on March 29th in the US and was recently made a recognized annual holiday in 2017 when it was signed into law by President Trump. March 29th is the day that the last of the troops were withdrawn in 1973.\nThis is a separate holiday from Veterans Day which is celebrated on November 11th\, that marks the end of the First World War. \nThe war originally started as a civil war between North Vietnam and the South Vietnam Government. The North Vietnamese Army was supported by communist allies such as the Soviet Union and China and the South Vietnamese Army was supported by anti – communist Allies such as the US\, Australia and South Korea. \nCitizens are encouraged to fly the US flag in honor of those who served in the Vietnam war as a way to thank the veterans and all those who made sacrifices during one of the longest wars in US history lasting almost 20 years. \nSome may wonder why it took 44 years for the troops to be celebrated\, but due to the huge number of casualties and domestic controversy a large part of the US population became opposed to the war.

SUMMARY:National Skipping Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:National Skipping Day will take place on Friday 24th March 2024 this year and is organised by Skipping Workshops. \nOver the years we have received a great deal of feedback from schools and it seems that participating schools fall into two groups: the first are those schools who promote playground skipping on a regular basis throughout the school year and see NSD as a means of celebrating this commitment . By contrast\, some schools don’t promote skipping throughout the school year but are happy to take part in NSD as a ‘one-off’ celebration of healthy exercise through skipping. The 2024 event is definitely of more interest to the first group (although we hope all schools will consider taking part.) \nFor schools taking part in the 2024 NSD we have developed a graded scheme of skills\, starting with challenges for Nursery and YR children moving forward to skills for children in Y5 & Y6 who have shown a commitment to developing skipping skills. There are 6 levels in all\, starting with ‘basic’ (for the youngest children) moving through to Level 5. For those children who complete the tasks in each level we have a certificate which we hope schools will present to those children who qualify. For each level we will send participating schools detailed staff notes to explain the various challenges. \nIf you register for NSD 2024 we will send you details of the skills involved in the basic level as well as Levels 1 & 2 plus a copy of the different certificates for each level. \nIf you feel able to host an all-day-skip visit from Skipping Workshops between now and the end of the academic year Book a visit with us and you will also receive a free set of double dutch ropes and a 7m long rope for your school.

SUMMARY:International Day of Forests 2024
DESCRIPTION:Forests are part of your life in more ways than you realize\nWhen we drink a glass of water\, write in a notebook\, take medicine for a fever or build a house\, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet\, these and many other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another. Forests\, their sustainable management and use of resources\, including in fragile ecosystems\, are key to combating climate change\, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nForests and Education – Learn to Love Forests \nEvery 21 March the United Nations raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. This year the International Day of Forests promotes education to Learn to Love Forests. It underscores the importance of education at all levels in achieving sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation. Healthy forests mean healthy\, resilient communities and prosperous economies.

SUMMARY:National Native AIDS Awareness Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:March 20th is National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day\, where we pay particular focus to raising awareness\, overcoming stigmas and encouraging testing for HIV and Aids in Native communities in the United States. This presents opportunities for Native Americans\, Alaskans and Hawaiians to learn more about HIV/AIDS and to promote testing and counselling where necessary. \nThe day appropriately coincides with the spring equinox\, celebrated in many Native communities as a symbol of new beginnings. It was chosen specifically for this reason as it is an opportunity for positive change through awareness and prevention. \nThis institution was started in 2007 by HIV.gov to promote awareness and provide resources to Native communities after several studies identified them to be a high risk group in need of assistance. Risks of HIV in these communities can be heightened by a general lack of health care provisions and mental health assistance\, as well as societal stigmas surrounding homosexuality\, high rates of alcohol and drug use and general misinformation. This has led to estimates of up to a quarter of cases of Native people who are infected with HIV or AIDS being unaware that they have it. \nThere are various ways to participate in observing NNHAAD\, including visiting HIV.gov or other educational resources to learn more on the subject\, getting a routine test for HIV\, sharing information about HIV and AIDS prevention\, or raising money by supporting or organising an event to spread awareness.

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox (First Day of Spring) 2024
DESCRIPTION:This year in the northern hemisphere the Spring or Vernal Equinox falls on the 20th March. The equinox marks the day when day and night are the same lengths all over the world\, with the word equinox literally meaning equal night‚in Latin.\nThe spring equinox marks the change of the seasons and as the northern hemisphere begins to tilt towards the sun\, our days start to get longer and our nights shorter. In the northern hemisphere\, we enjoy the arrival of spring and the promise of warmer days. To our friends in the southern hemisphere\, however\, this marks the changing of their seasons to autumn. \nThe equinox does not always fall on the same day each year due to the fact that the earth orbits the sun on a slightly elliptical path\, meaning that the spring equinox can happen on either the 19th\, 20th or 21st of March. Although many cultures celebrate the whole day as the equinox\, the equinox is\, in fact\, technically the specific point in time when the sun crosses the equator. \nIn the northern hemisphere\, the March equinox is traditionally celebrated as a time of rebirth with many different cultures celebrating spring holidays and festivals such as Easter and Passover around the time of the equinox.

St. Patrick was a Christian missionary who lived in the 5th century and is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. He is also associated with driving the snakes out of Ireland\, although this is likely a metaphor for his work in converting the Irish people to Christianity. \nSt. Patrick’s Day was originally a religious holiday that was celebrated in Ireland as a day of feast and remembrance for St. Patrick. It was first made an official public holiday in Ireland in 1903\, and the day was marked by religious services and family gatherings. \nOver time\, St. Patrick’s Day became a more secular holiday\, and it spread beyond Ireland to become a global celebration of Irish culture and heritage. In the United States\, the first St. Patrick’s Day parade was held in New York City in 1762\, and today\, the holiday is celebrated with parades\, green-themed events\, and festivities in cities around the world. \nIn Ireland\, St. Patrick’s Day is still celebrated as a public holiday\, with parades and other events taking place in cities and towns across the country. The holiday has also become a major tourist attraction\, with visitors flocking to Ireland to experience the celebrations and learn about Irish culture and history. \nToday\, St. Patrick’s Day is a day to celebrate all things Irish\, from traditional music and dance to food and drink. It is a day to honor the contributions of Irish immigrants to communities around the world and to showcase the unique and vibrant culture of Ireland.

SUMMARY:Young Carers Action Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Each year Carers Trust organises Young Carers Awareness Day. \nThe purpose of the day is to raise public awareness of the challenges faced by young people because of their caring role\, and to campaign for greater support for young carers and their needs. \nWhen Carers Trust set up Young Carers Awareness Day our intention was to make the public much more aware of young carers – who they are\, what they do\, the very real challenges they face\, and why they need support. \nAnd over the years\, we’ve had some great successes\, using the media and social media to really shine a spotlight on young carers. \nBut as Young Carers Awareness Day has got bigger each year\, we’ve also realised there are things we can do to make it better. And many young carers themselves have told us how they think the day could be improved. \nWe wanted to use that feedback from young carers and people working with young carers to make the day even better. So this year we are making some changes based on the feedback we have received. These changes are explained below. \nWe hope you agree these will make the day even better in 2024\, and help create real change for young carers and the support they receive! \nWe are changing the name! \nOne of the things we are always hearing from young carers is that what they want is support\, not sympathy. \nThis got us thinking. Yes\, it’s great to raise public awareness of young carers and what they do. But we need to do more than just encourage public sympathy for young carers and everything they have to do at home. We need to use the day to get people to take action to support young carers. \nSo from 2021 onwards\, the name has been changed to Young Carers Action Day. \nWe will be working with a group of young carers to ensure Young Carers Action Day 2024 features activities that will encourage real action and drive positive change for young carers. \nYoung Carers Action Day 2024 will take place on 15 March 2024. \nWe are including young adult carers \nUntil now\, the day has been for young carers up to the age of 18. \nBut one of the things our recent survey of young carers and young adult carers showed us is that young people aged 18 to 25 are experiencing many of the same challenges as younger carers. \nYoung adult carers need support too as they continue to balance their caring role with the difficult transition into early adulthood. So we will be planning activities and media coverage for this really important group of carers too! \nAnd we are working with young carers and young adult carers to plan Young Carers Action Day 2024 \nCarers Trust has set up a working group including young carers and young adult carers that is working actively to plan activities and media coverage for Young Carers Action Day 2024. With young carers at the heart of planning\, we will ensure that Young Carers Action Day 2024 delivers activities most likely to create positive change for young carers that addresses their needs. \nGot a question? \nWe realise that these are fairly significant changes and you may have questions. If there is something you’d like to ask\, or raise\, we’d love to hear from you! \nPlease feel free to get in touch with Vicky Morgan\, Head of Young Carers and Young Adult Carers. \nMedia enquiry? \nContact the Press team

SUMMARY:Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 2024
DESCRIPTION:When a woman is diagnosed at the earliest stage\, her chance of surviving ovarian cancer for five years or more doubles from just 46 per cent to more than 90 per cent. \nHowever\, nearly half of GPs mistakenly believe symptoms only present in the later stages of the disease\, and less than a third of women in the UK are confident they know the symptoms. \nThis year\, tens of thousands of symptoms leaflets were read\, thousands of cakes were baked\, hundreds of outlandish outfits worn and more teapots brewed than we could count all with one aim in mind to get more women diagnosed at the earliest stage. Your fundraising means we will be able to do more to improve early diagnosis\, fund more life-saving research and provide much-needed support.

SUMMARY:Tell a Fairy Tale Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Tell a Fairy Tale Day is an informal observance held on February 26. It provides a perfect opportunity to read fairy tales to your kinds and enjoy your favorite childhood tales yourself. \nA fairy tale is a short story that typically features fantasy characters and magic. Fairy tales usually take place once upon a time and have a happy ending: evil characters are punished and good characters live happily ever after. \nFairy tale collections are usually the first books read by children (not counting alphabet books\, of course). But children are introduced to fairy tales much earlier than they start to read\, because fairy tales are the most common type of bedtime story. \nEven if you don’t have children or your kids are not around\, you should not miss the opportunity to reacquaint yourself with fairy tales. It’s perfectly okay to read fairy tale books alone. Make a cup of hot chocolate\, curl up in a chair and immerse yourself in the world of princes and princesses\, evil witches and beautiful fairies\, dragons and unicorns\, talking animals and magical plants.

It celebrates the importance of schools’ football\, competitive or otherwise\, to pupils across England and provides teachers and coaches with tools and a motivation to further discuss the benefits of schools’ football within their educational environment. \nThe 2022 SFW campaign saw us embrace the growing participation in girls’ football in schools – promoting the importance of equal access to schools’ football for both girls and boys. The campaign alone saw over 56\,000 girls benefitting from footballing opportunities across the 7th – 13th February. In this new season\, following the incredible journey of the Lionesses and continuing the trend the ESFA have seen over the last two years\, we’ve seen the highest number of girls’ entries into National Cup competitions\, with over 120 schools entering girls’ teams for the first time.

This could be hosted at lunchtime\, after school or during PE lessons and yours could take any format that you wish. For example\, a group phase followed by a final\, or just a straight forward knockout competition. You could get other pupils involved by making banners to support teams or even writing supporter songs. Maybe you could host an all-girls tournament or encourage a record number of girls in your own school to take part in activity\, just like in our National Cups. \n Football formats  \nYou can choose to use whichever format of football best suits your requirements: 11-a-side\, 9-a-side\, 7-a-side\, 6-a-side\, indoor 5-a-side or even futsal if you have the facilities available. The objective of Schools’ Football Week is to get as many children playing or talking about football as possible and enjoying the game in a safe and secure environment\, regardless of their ability. Remember: children should only play in 2-year age bands in accordance with FA rules. \n Pupil activity for lunchtime…or any time \nThere are some other great examples of how you can introduce football into the school day for Schools’ Football Week 2024 – we’ve put a short list together for you below\, but maybe you have other ideas you’d like to try too – \n\nCoaching sessions for pupils\nPE warm-up sessions based on football drills\nCrossbar challenges (you could try pupils v teachers!)\nPenalty shootout games or competitions\nFreestyle football skills\n\nHow to Register for School’s Football Week 2024?\nWe have set up a link to register your school as taking part in Schools’ Football Week.

SUMMARY:Diverse Heritage Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is #DiverseHeritage ?\nDiverse Heritage Awareness Day is a  day to celebrate the fastest growing ethnic population in the UK and the World. We are becoming diverse and more mixed as people move and migrate across the world. Often termed as multiracial or mixed ethnicity\, that’s not enough to really describe us. \n \nThe term Diverse Heritage encapsulates those who have a background that perhaps embraces a meeting of multiple factors such as language\, colour\, faith\, caste\, and culture . \nWe are a growing number of people who through being exposed to multiple different values through our blended families never really seem to fit in with one or the other. We often feel that choosing one heritage over another seems like a rejection of that parent involved. \nWe are pioneers in a new world which calls for more tolerance and acceptance which we have learnt in our mixed heritage homes so we can move forwards\, comfortable with our choices and adapted way of life. \nWhen is Diverse Heritage Day 2023?\nWe are celebrating our diversity on 14th November. 2023 is our first awareness day! \nWhy is there a Diverse Heritage Day?\nA note from the founder of DHAD23; “I am raising awareness as I am of diverse heritage from equally diverse parentage going back 2 generations that I know of with my child the 4th generation. I am a mix of cultures\, different languages\, faith\, and mixed ethnicity that has been rather a lot to deal with. I felt that due to my parents coming from opposite sides of the world that the parent whose family were closest \, were the ones we socialised with more . I  felt my other parent was marginalised . I often felt isolated at school or at events because I couldn’t be categorised and what exactly was I ? \nSo\, I am Hungarian and Guyanese. Within that is Hindu\, Muslim and Catholic faiths and beliefs. Within that was a parent of mixed caste and interfaith\, from pioneer indentured parentage. Within that is the Hungarian\, Slovak\, Hindu\, English etc languages. Within that is my skin colour\, mixed. Within that was a mixed culture but learning to live the British way.  I used to call myself a dolly mixture ! I am now proud to be me.” \nHow can I get involved?\nYou can get involved in DHAD23 by sharing on social media using #diverseheritage #diverseheritageday #proudofmydiverseheritage \nWe welcome educators to use DHAD23 to encourage children to share about their backgrounds and to learn about other cultures amongst their peers . To learn that their classmate or colleague might have multiple ethnicities or languages or faith. That nobody should feel guilty about following their instinct and choosing the right way forward for them. \nThe discussion at school may help to raise awareness and if there are expectations at home\,  a child can feel capable and confident speaking with their family about their diverse heritage.

SUMMARY:National Bullying Prevention Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:As a parent\, as I’m sure many of you are\, one of my worst fears is to find that my children are either being bullied\, or being a bully themselves. I often wonder how we would deal with discovering either of these scenarios. In a world where bullying can take on many new and different forms\, it concerns me that not enough parents\, guardians\, families and friends would know what to do for the best. \nAlthough sad that such an awareness campaign has to exist in the first place\, it’s also reassuring and useful to know that the National Bullying Prevention Center run the National Bullying Prevention Month throughout the month of October with lots of information and support readily available to help anyone who may need it. \nEstablished by PACER\, a center for parent training and information for families and youth with disabilities\, the initial campaign was designed to raise awareness of the long lasting effects that bullying has on many children and young people and to change the perception that bullying is a part of growing up that cannot be challenged. Collaborating with education-based organizations such as the National PTA\, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association they provide schools\, parents and students with the educational resources and support to better respond to bullying behavior. \nThroughout the month the campaign aims to work at a grassroots level with local schools\, community groups\, young people and families to address any issues faced by them\, signpost to organisations who may be able to offer support\, educate youngsters about the effects of bullying and promote kindness\, acceptance and inclusion. On a higher level they also work with news and media outlets encouraging them to promote their message and cause as well as communicating with education and public policy leaders about the role they play in bullying prevention. \nThe dedicated website has many ways you can show your support – be it as an individual\, school or community\, as well as offering ideas for activities for all school ages\, a really useful toolkit advising of lesson plans and details of special events planned across the nation. \nNow a nationally recognised awareness campaign with support from Facebook\, Disney\, Instagram\, CNN\, TLC and Yahoo! Kids and many\, many more organisations this is a campaign that should be embraced by all within our communities.

SUMMARY:World School Milk Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World School Milk Day is held all over the world on the last Wednesday of September every year to celebrate the benefits and success of school milk programmes. \nThe first World School Milk Day was celebrated in September 2000 and has since become an annual event promoted by the FAO (Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations). \nThe History \nIn the UK\, our history of school milk spans back over 100 years to the Provision of Meals Act 1906. This recognised that the provision of school food would allow needy and undernourished children to benefit more from education. Also\, that milk was a food that could be provided to children to prevent poor nutrition. \nAfter the Great Depression and the World Wars malnutrition among children was a great concern. So school milk schemes were introduced and developed. Throughout the 20th century\, the provision of milk to school children has helped combat undernutrition in times of scarcity. \nSchool Milk Today \nMilk and dairy products continue to play a role in children’s diets today. A carton of school milk provides a 4-6 year old with: \n52% of their recommended calcium intake \n59% of their recommended iodine intake \n100% of their recommended vitamin B12 intake \n59% of their recommended B2 intake. \nFor older children aged 7-10 years\, a carton of milk provides: \n42% of their recommended calcium intake \n53% of their recommended iodine intake \n100% of their recommended vitamin B12 \n47% of their recommended B2 intake. \nMilk also provides energy and protein for their growth and development. \nWorld School Milk Day is celebrated in many countries\, with an increasing number of activities taking place each year. Schools and milk providers are free to celebrate as they wish. Celebrations can be at any level – from national or regional events to individual schools. Find out more about dairy and health for primary school children.

SUMMARY:Fire Door Safety Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:A door’s a door’s a door\, right? No\, a fire door is an engineered safety device. Fire doors are a crucial part of the passive fire protection of every commercial\, public and multiple occupancy building. They save lives and property. \nThere are about 3 million new fire doors bought and installed every year in the UK\, the vast majority made from timber. Fire doors are often the first line of defence in a fire and their correct specification\, maintenance and management can be the difference between life and death for building occupants. However\, they remain a significant area of neglect\, often the first thing to be downgraded on a specification and mismanaged throughout their service life\, propped open\, damaged and badly maintained. Consequently\, we have created Fire Door Safety Week: \nTo raise awareness of the critical role of fire doors\, drawing attention to specific issues such as poor installation and maintenance. \nTo encourage building owners and users to check the operation and condition of their fire doors and to report those that aren’t satisfactory. \nTo link together the initiatives of many organisations with common interests in the fire door and passive fire protection industries. \nTo engage and educate people\, helping the whole building industry and every property owner to understand the correct specification\, supply\, installation\, operation\, inspection and maintenance of fire doors. \nSupported by a wide range of organisations\, Fire Door Safety Week is the brainchild of the British Woodworking Federation\, BWF-CERTIFIRE Scheme and Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS). \nHow can you get involved? \nWhy not: \nUpload our logo and put a link to Fire Door Safety Week on your website. \nTweet about Fire Door Safety Week or publicise your support on other social media – don’t forget to use the hashtag #FireDoorSafetyWeek. \nHold a free CPD session for local businesses about fire door safety. \nOpen up your factory and invite your local MP to see what you do to promote fire door safety. \nUse our videos to raise awareness among your staff or building users. \nCarry out an inspection of your fire doors\, or get a FDIS Certificated Inspector to help. \nRun a communications campaign or leaflet drop to tell your tenants about fire door safety. \nDisplay posters showing three simple fire door safety tips. \nSpend a day in your local builder’s merchants giving buyers advice on third-party certificated fire doors and the correct components. \nDistribute copies of our free fact cards on all aspects of fire door specification. \nLaunch a new product or service that helps more people specify\, buy\, install or maintain their fire doors. \nSend an email to all your customers saying you support Fire Door Safety Week and letting them know about this website. \nSo many options\, so much scope! What will you choose to do?

SUMMARY:National Punctuation Day in the USA 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Punctuation Day is an annual observance held on September 24. \nIt was established to promote the correct usage of punctuation in the English language. National Punctuation Day was created by Jeff Rubin in 2004 to emphasize the vital role of punctuation marks in written English. In the English language\, the simple differences in punctuation can produce the sharp differences in meaning\, that is why correct punctuation is so important. \nThere are two major styles of punctuation in the English language: British (logical punctuation) and American (traditional punctuation). They differ primarily in the way they handle quotation marks. The rest of the basic punctuation rules are essentially the same in all varieties of English. Sadly these rules are often ignored\, which may lead to misunderstanding. Punctuation is as important as any other aspect of the written language. That is why Rubin founded National Punctuation Day.National Punctuation Day is marked with special lessons at schools\, contests\, fundraisers\, and other appropriate events and activities. \nIn 2006\, Jeff Rubin and his wife\, Norma\, launched Punctuation Playtime. It is a program for elementary school students that focuses on reinforcing important punctuation lessons.

SUMMARY:Adult Learners Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Save the date: 18 – 24 September 2023 (with promotional activity taking place throughout September)\nThe campaign celebrates the achievements of learners and adult learning provision across Wales\, inspiring thousands of adults each year to engage in a wide range of learning opportunities whilst raising awareness of the value of adult learning. \nLifelong learning is seen by many as part of the solution to a range of pressing global issues including rapidly changing economies and labour markets\, climate change policies and a mental health crisis. It can improve productivity\, cultivate better health and well-being\, engage people in democratic processes; and build a more equitable society. \nIn Wales we are facing many challenges – there is a growing trend of working-age adults being under-qualified and lacking essential skills. Almost half of adults from the lowest socioeconomic groups have not received any training since they left full-time education. \nWe want Adult Learners’ Week to be the catalyst that inspires and mobilises people to change their story to lead better and more fulfilling lives. The campaign will offer people a second chance and the confidence they need to move forward and access learning opportunities and to seek advice and guidance. \nThis is achieved by collaborating with a whole host of private and public organisations on the promotion of online and in-person taster sessions\, events \, short courses\, resources\, promotional activity and guidance and support on careers and skills – all signposted through the Adult Learners’ Week online learning platform. Adults can learn new skills\, gain a qualification\, explore career pathways\, improve their health\, wellbeing and confidence\, connect with other people or discover a new passion or hobby. \nTogether we can create increased visibility and momentum for lifelong learning in Wales and inspire more adults to move forward and build a better future with confidence. \nWe want to work with you to promote opportunities for adults to build their skills and to make lifelong learning more accessible. \nJoin our network of partners to deliver live tutorials and events for the campaign and we’ll promote any courses and resources on the site. \nWe want to work with you to: \n\nPromote your provision and engage with new and existing audiences by offering opportunities to learn\nConnect people in Wales to get support with health & wellbeing\, learning and employment opportunities\nBecome a part of the Wales-wide campaign partnership that advocates lifelong learning\nShare positive and aspirational stories that will inspire others to participate in lifelong learning\n\nIf you would like to join our campaign complete our Stakeholder form to express your interest in the campaign. \nPlease note\, if you already have an account on our campaign website or you have previously worked with us\, you won’t need to complete the form. \nIf you have any questions or need help with your account\, please email: alwevents@learningandwork.org.uk  \nThe campaign is coordinated by Learning and Work Institute Wales (L&W) in partnership with the Welsh Government and the European Social Fund and other partners such as The Open University in Wales\, Agored Cymru\, Qualifications Wales\, Adult Learning Wales\, and National Centre for Learning Welsh.

SUMMARY:National Coding Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:How to get involved with National Coding Week. \nChildren are part of a confident Digital Generation having grown up with the internet\, smart phones and coding classes. However\, many adults have missed out on the digital revolution and feel left behind. The aim of National Coding Week is to give adults the opportunity to learn some digital skills. \nWe want to create taster sessions for parents\, teachers\, business leaders\, school leavers\, the unemployed\, people with autism or those who have retired. It’s open to everyone! We are not expecting people to become coders after one session! For many people it takes years of practice and experience but these taster sessions can be the first step on a journey into a digital business or digital career. \nChildren can inspire adults \nChildren are learning digital skills in school or through coding clubs such as CoderDojos. We therefore would like these clubs to open their doors to parents for a one-off session in which the children will teach the adults some of the skills they have learnt. \nLibraries can act as focal points \nLibraries are in an ideal position to act as a focal point and can host a coding session. Either the staff can lead the session or someone who is confident and familiar with coding from the local community can share their skills. Read CILIP’s blog: Libraries‚ how they can improve our Digital Literacy \nSchools and Code Clubs can get involved \nChildren are learning coding but many parents don’t understand what their children are doing and many non-specialist teachers and governors feel they have missed out on these skills. \nThis year in partnership with Makewaves we are offering children the opportunity to learn and share new skills by collecting digital badges. \nShare Your Skills \nShare Your Skills Badge involves planning a digital skills lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Create a simple lesson plan of what you will be teaching your class. The lesson‚can be any time from 15 minutes to 60 minutes and it can be taught by a single person or a group of 5 maximum. Each individual needs to have a clear role. \nStay Safe Online \nStay Safe Online Badge involves planning a stay safe online lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Research a stay safe online topic\, examples are listed below but you could choose any topic that is important to you: \nData Protection | Cyber Security | Social Media Management | Privacy settings | Passwords management | Knowing who you are communicating with (stranger danger) \nFor more details check out the National Coding Week / Makewaves Digital Badges \nWeb\, app\, creative and digital businesses can throw open their doors \nThose with the expertise can share their skills and have fun teaching people the basics of coding. There are many training organisations who offer courses throughout the year. They can contribute to the week by offering taster sessions to encourage people to sign-up. \nTech Hubs \nThere are hundreds of tech hubs with amazing businesses working from them. The tech hubs are giving start-ups a platform from which to launch businesses and inspire others. These can be the perfect venue for the week and we would love them to be involved. \nAdvice \nKeep it simple‚ it might simply be showing people the resources available online at Codex \, Codecademy or TeamTreehouse. \nIf you are able to organise it\, get a friendly local web development agency\, ICT teacher or FE college tutor to lead the session. \nA simple introductory session can be to get people familiar with tags / code that make up HTML and CSS and show how they work together. \nSign up for the event at codingweek.org \nOrganise a public or private event and pin it to the map \nHold the event\, take photos and tweet using the hashtag #nationalcodingweek \nWe would love to hear from people willing to organise events including libraries\, schools\, digital agencies\, tech hubs and coding clubs / CoderDojos. If you let us know what you’re planning we can give you a shoutout and feature you in the run up to the week. \nWhy learning Digital Skills is important \nThe digital economy has grown enormously in the past 8 years and clusters of digital businesses are springing up everywhere. \nIt has been reported that 50% of digital product developers are self-taught and as many as 83% of app developers have taught themselves. \nThere are now more people working in tech jobs in the south east of England than the whole of California but there is a skills shortage and many adults could contribute to the digital economy if they had the confidence to get started.

SUMMARY:Great British Beach Clean 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Great British Beach Clean is a week-long citizen science event\, where hundreds of beach cleans take place up and down the UK. Litter data collected drives our conservation work and also feeds into the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC). \nThis year’s Great British Beach Clean will take place between Friday 15th – Sunday 24th September 2023. \nOn every clean we ask people to run a litter survey: recording all the items of rubbish they find in a 100m stretch. We use this data to campaign for change. \nAnd we have seen some great results – the plastic bag charge\, banning microplastics in personal care products\, better wet wipe labelling\, and supporting a tax on single-use plastic items. \nBut there is still so much to do to stop the litter plaguing our beaches. \n425 litter items found per 100m of beach surveyed at last year’s Great British Beach Clean \n30% of beach cleans last year found face masks and PPE \n55% drop in plastic bags found on UK beaches since 5p charge introduced \nBut it’s not job done. We need to gather more and more data to wage war on other types of beach litter\, and you can help. \nWant to run your own beach clean event? Find out how to become an organiser \nMake 2023 your year to save our seas. \nTo get involved this year find an event near you – events as a list or on a map. Sign up for the event/s you’d like to attend and the beach clean organiser will be in touch. \nThe Great British Beach Clean includes the Great Channel Islands Beach Clean and Great Northern Irish Beach Clean.

SUMMARY:International Day of Democracy 2023
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Democracy is held on September 15th\, and is held on the same date every year\, and tends to have a theme\, an example of a previous year’s theme was ‘Democracy and Conflict Prevention’. \nInternational Day of Democracy is an annual day that has been running for 10 years. It is a United Nations\, (UN)\, day of observation\, the purpose of the day is to review the state of democracy in the world and uphold and and promote democracy and its principles. The day was founded on the 20th anniversary of the First International Conference of the New or Restored Democracies\, which promoted global democracy. \nOn the day\, individuals and organisations of all kinds work together for democracy and hold events to raise awareness of democracy\, including conferences\, discussions and debates\, as well as press conferences and publicity campaigns though distribution of leaflets\, posters and flyers\, often with the UN logo on them. Major events to commemorate the day are held at UN headquarters. \nDemocracy and human rights are closely linked\, and UN covenants on these matters are to the fore on this observance day. Democracy is a state where the people have rights\, especially to vote for and elect their government and regulation from among themselves\, rather than being controlled by a government over whom they have no right of dissent\, election or protest. Lack of democracy can lead to lack of rights or a voice\, and this impacts on human rights as set out by the UN.

SUMMARY:World Suicide Prevention Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Suicide Prevention Day is observed on September 10 each year to promote worldwide action to prevent suicides. Various events and activities are held during this occasion to raise awareness that suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death. \nWhat do people do? \nWorld Suicide Prevention Day gives organizations\, government agencies and individuals a chance to promote awareness about suicide\, mental illnesses associated with suicide\, as well as suicide prevention. Organizations such as the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and World Health Organization (WHO) play a key role in promoting this event. \nEvents and activities for World Suicide Prevention Day include: \nThe launch of new government initiatives to prevent suicide. \nConferences\, open days\, educational seminars or public lectures. \nMedia programs promoting suicide awareness and prevention. \nMemorial services or candlelight ceremonies to remember those who died from suicide. \nOrganizing cultural or spiritual events\, fairs or exhibitions. \nLaunches of publications about suicide awareness and prevention. \nTraining courses about suicide and depression awareness. \nMany of these initiatives are celebrated in various countries worldwide. Some of these events and activities are held at a local level\, while others are nation-wide. Many communities around the world reaffirm their commitment to suicide prevention on World Suicide Prevention Day. \nBackground \nNearly 3000 people on average commit suicide daily\, according to WHO. For every person who completes a suicide\, 20 or more may attempt to end their lives. About one million people die by suicide each year. Suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death which is influenced by psycho-social\, cultural and environmental risk factors that can be prevented through worldwide responses that address these main risk factors. There is strong evidence indicating that adequate prevention can reduce suicide rates. \nWorld Suicide Prevention Day\, which first started in 2003\, is annually held on September 10 each year as an IASP initiative. WHO co-sponsors this event. World Suicide Prevention Day aims to: \nRaise awareness that suicide is preventable. \nImprove education about suicide. \nSpread information about suicide awareness. \nDecrease stigmatization regarding suicide. \nWHO and IASP work with governments and other partners to ensure that suicide is no longer stigmatized\, criminalized or penalized. WHO’s role is to build political action and leadership to develop national responses to prevent suicide\, strengthen national planning capacity to establish the core building blocks of such a national response\, and build the national capacities to implement these responses.

SUMMARY:National Read A Book Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:September 6th is National Read a Book Day. Here are a few of the reasons you should join in on this holiday and read a book. \nRead a book today BECAUSE \nIt’s the best excuse for peace and quiet. \nYou love sitting in your favourite chair. \nThat stack of borrowed books needs a dent. \nAll your friends are busy. \nYou need a new favourite quotation. \nBooks are on your schedule: you can pick them up and put them down at your own convenience. \nWalking to the library is good exercise. \nYou saw the movie\, but you heard the book is way better. \nYou’ve always wanted to read Anna Karenina. \nYou’ve always wanted to reread Anna Karenina. \nThere’s a swath of history you’re sick of having to admit you know NOTHING about. \nSome sentences are better than kissing (See Nabokov). \nYour perspective can be changed by a single passage (See Vonnegut). \nYour life can be changed by a book (See The Year of Magical Thinking). \nYou’re going through something and you just need to get lost in a beautiful\, made-up world. \nYou haven’t gotten to use your imagination in a really long time. \nToday’s world is so loud\, hyper-connected and busy. \nThe world inside your head is yours and yours alone.

SUMMARY:International Day of Charity 2023
DESCRIPTION:As part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development\, adopted in September 2015\, the UN has recognized the importance of eradicating poverty in all forms. Poverty presents an enormous global challenge for the international community\, as is a significant threat to sustainable development. In the spirit of global solidarity\, the 2030 Agenda is focused on how best to meet the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens and acknowledges the role that the private sector must play in supporting the various organizations who have undertaken philanthropic efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. \nPoverty exists in every country around the globe\, from powerful industrial nations to developing countries. It continues to affect millions of people\, regardless of their social and cultural situations\, and is a barrier to true prosperity and equality. \nIn recognition of the significant role that charities and individuals have undertaken to alleviate human suffering and humanitarian crises\, the UN General Assembly\, under resolution A/RES/67/105PDF\, has designated the 5th of September as the International Day of Charity. This date was chosen as it is the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa\, and the resolution is\, in part\, a tribute to her work and dedication to charitable causes. \nThis 5th of September\, the United Nations invites all Member States\, international and regional organisations\, non-governmental organisations and individuals alike to commemorate the International Day of Charity by encouraging charitable acts in their respective communities to raise public awareness of this event.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:World Humanitarian Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:On the 19th August each year we celebrate World Humanitarian Day.

SUMMARY:National Airborne Day in the USA 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Airborne Day is a special day designated to honor the U.S. Airborne Forces and the first parachute jump of 48 volunteer members of the U.S. Army Parachute Test Platoon on August 16\, 1940. This day is annually observed on August 16. \nThe use of parachutes was an innovative method of warfare during World War II. This gave the Allied an opportunity to deploy the troops behind enemy lines. The first parachute jump pioneered the way for future jumps and also marked the birth of new airborne forces\, that might play a vital role in military future. \nThe U.S. Army conducted the first combat parachute jumps in November 1942: the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion 509th Parachute Infantry made a total of 93 combat jumps. These and other other soldiers formed the legendary 11th\, 13th\, 17th\, 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions\, that participated in many fights during World War II and other military conflicts after its end.Regarding the importance of the first successful parachute jump\, President of the USA George W. Bush created National Airborne Day in 2001. \nIn 2009 Senate recognized National Airborne Day with Senate Resolution.

SUMMARY:National Opportunity Day 2023

SUMMARY:National Allotments Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Many of you will have attended events in your local area as part of previous National Allotment Week’s to celebrate how important allotments and other open spaces are for you and your local community. Allotments have many benefits. They bring people together and unite them through their shared love of low-cost\, healthy fresh fruit and vegetables\, physical exercise and social interaction. \nAllotments are a valuable resource and both you as individuals and as community groups take immense pride in their up keep and produce. As allotment holders you are already active in your local community. However did you know that there are powers available that can help you and others in your local community shape and improve the neighbourhood in which you live? These powers\, known as Community Rights\, give recognition to valuable community assets such as allotments\, pubs\, local shops and community centres and can help ensure that these assets continue to be of benefit to local people. \nYou are able to list your allotment as an Asset of Community Value and this is where the Community Right to Bid comes in. It can help to protect vital community assets such as allotments in your neighbourhood. Allotments add to the wellbeing of local communities and you and your neighbours can therefore nominate your allotment to be put on a list of Assets of Community Value by your Local Authority. If an Asset of Community Value is then put up for sale\, local community groups can pause‚the sale for six months while they raise the funds to bid to buy it. \nNearly 100 allotments have been listed by local community groups across the country. Are you one of them? If so you can now apply for an ACV Certificate to celebrate your allotment. \nEmail community.assets@communities.gsi.gov.uk for more details about getting a personalised certificate for you to print out and display to let everyone know how much your allotment is valued by your local community. For more information about assets of community value and how to protect them please visithttp://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/community-asset-ownership/ \nThe Department for Communities and Local Government has also produced a simple guide to community rights called You’ve got the power?’ \nYou can also have your say in the way your neighbourhood develops in the future. Neighbourhood planning enables local communities to shape the places where you live and work. Over 1400 communities have started neighbourhood planning in their area and around a third of the neighbourhood plans which are now in force include policies on allotments. If you’re interested to find out how you can get started\, there’s lots of information here: http://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/neighbourhood-planning/ \nIf you’re involved in your local area\, you can also join the My Community Network to chat to experts and connect with others who are also passionate about their community. Through the Network\, you get: \nAccess to live discussions and expert advice on the forum \nInspiration and tips from other people from across the country \nQuick responses to questions about community activity and programmes \nNetworking with like-minded and experienced people \nCoaching and mentoring from experts in the field \nInvitations to free learning hubs and event

SUMMARY:Coast Guard Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated annually on August 4th\, Coast Guard Day commemorates the anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Coast Guard as the Revenue-Marine in 1790. On August 4\, 1790 Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton established the Revenue-Marine to serve as an armed customs enforcement service. In 1894\, it was renamed the Revenue Cutter Service. In 1915\, it merged with the U.S. Life-Saving Service. Thus the United States Coast Guard was formed. \nFor those who dont know\, the Coast Guard is an all important maritime first responder; “the principal Federal agency responsible for maritime safety\, security\, and environmental stewardship in U.S. ports and waterways”. \nThe Coast Guards are one of the five Armed Services of the United States\, and the only military branch within the Department of Homeland Security. In addition to its role as an Armed Service\, the Coast Guard is a first responder and humanitarian service that provides aid to people in distress or impacted by natural and man-made disasters whether at sea or ashore. The Coast Guard is a member of the Intelligence Community\, and is a law enforcement and regulatory agency with broad legal authorities associated with maritime transportation\, hazardous materials shipping\, bridge administration\, oil spill response\, pilotage\, and vessel construction and operation. \nCoast Guard Day is mainly an internal event\, however we feel that such is the importance of the work that is carried out byt he Coast Guard\, more should be done to thank\, honor and celebrate them. It is celebrated primarily by Coast Guardsmen\, both active duty and reserve\, as well as retirees\, civilian employees\, dependants\, and auxiliarists. Coast Guard units across the country organize picnics and sport competitions. So why not show your appreciation for those people involved and the service they provide and support any local events that may take place\, or simply educate others about the work they do?

SUMMARY:Yorkshire Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Named after the biggest county in England (if you unite North\, South\, West and East Riding of Yorkshire\, which is sort of cheating)\, it’s no surprise that Yorkshire Day is a thing. As an area on the up and up\, it’s becoming one of the most important places in the UK\, as the likes of Leeds\, Hull\, Bradford have become prominent as centres of finance\, culture and much more. \nSo\, whether you’re from Yorkshire or not\, celebrate like one of the locals on August 1st by donning your flat cap\, walking the damp countryside with your whippet\, eating a Yorkshire pudding with gravy\, then settling down to complain about the rising price of a pint of best bitter\, ending the night on a cheerier note by remembering the good old days.

SUMMARY:World Day against Trafficking in Persons 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Day against Trafficking in Persons is held on July 30th each year\, and is an annual event. People trafficking and modern day slavery is a massive worldwide problem with very few countries immune to human trafficking\, and the event by the United Nations is to raise awareness and increase prevention of that. \nThousands of men\, women and children end up in the hands of traffickers every year\, often through being tricked and mislead to believe that they are being taken to work that will make their family better off\, or through force\, kidnap\, or even through very poor families selling children in order to survive. There are many ways that people get caught up in trafficking\, but the result is the same\, they lose their rights and identity and are used and abused\, and it is a global problem\, an industry not far behind drugs and arms in terms of profit for traffickers. \nTrafficked people are forced to work\, often doing hard labour or prostitution\, for no reward\, and usually have their identity and documents removed from them and are warned of terrible punishments if they escape\, and often they are taken to unfamiliar countries where they don’t know the language and have no way of getting help\, some die and are never heard of again by their families and communities. \nA global problem like trafficking needs a global solution\, which is why the United Nations organise the World Day against Trafficking in Persons\, to raise awareness encourage vigilance and gain support for prevention of human trafficking\, and also why they have produced a protocol to punish human trafficking and are hoping to implement this globally\, as well as an act to protect victims of trafficking.

SUMMARY:World Friendship Day / International Day Of Friendship 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Friendship Day\, also known as International Day of Friendship takes place on 30th July. \nThe original idea for a day of friendship came from Hallmark cards in the 1930’s. Originally celebrated on 2nd August\, the day was largely viewed cynically by the public as a money making exercise\, sales of friendship day cards did not take off in Europe and by the mid-1940’s the day had faded into obscurity in the USA. The idea of a day to honour friendship was\, however\, adopted by a number of countries in Asia where it remained a popular custom to reserve a day for celebrating friendships and the exchange of gifts between friends. \nThe first World Friendship Day was proposed for 30 July 1958 by the World Friendship Crusade\, an international civil organisation that campaigns to foster a culture of peace through friendship. Many years later\, in 2011\, the 30th July was declared as the International Day of Friendship by the General Assembly of United Nations. \nWith the growing popularity of social media throughout the world\, there has been an increase in celebrating World Friendship day and International Day of Friendship online as well as with community activities in local communities aimed at bringing those of different backgrounds together.

SUMMARY:Ask an Archaeologist Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 #AskAnArchaeologist Day will be on Friday 22 July 2023 – get your questions ready! \n#AskAnArchaeologist Day on Twitter is an official part of the CBA Festival of Archaeology and is a chance for people from all over the world to ask archaeologists questions\, and an opportunity for archaeologists to share their knowledge. \nAnyone with access to Twitter can ask a question using the #AskAnArchaeologist hashtag and any archaeologist who has an answer is encouraged to respond. \nThe idea is based on the hugely successful #AskACurator day\, set up by Mar Dixon\, which has run for several years on Twitter. The team at National Trust Midlands came up with the idea for the same sort of day for Archaeology\, and so #AskAnArchaeologist Day was born. \nThe first #AskAnArchaeologist day was in 2018 and was very successful. People from all over the world took part with lots of fascinating questions and discussions taking place. There’s nothing too formal about the day and there’s no such thing as a silly question – whatever you want to know about archaeology\, ask away and someone will (hopefully) know the answer. \nThat’s it really! In the meantime\, spread the word and get thinking of questions (or polishing up your answers).

SUMMARY:World Day for International Justice 2023
DESCRIPTION:Every year on July 17\, World Day for International Justice is observed all around the world. \nThe aim of the day is to promote international criminal justice and as a way of supporting the work of the ICC. \nWhat is the ICC? \nICC stands for the International Criminal Court. It came about when 120 states adopted a statute in Rome. It was known as the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (“the Rome Stature”). All the countries that agreed to adopt the statute were accepting the jurisdiction of the ICC\, with regards the prosecution of very serious crimes. The idea was not for the ICC to replace national courts. It is only able to intervene when a country can’t or won’t carry out investigations and prosecute perpetrators. \nThe Aim of International Justice Day \nThe aim of this day is to unite everyone who wants to support justice as well as promote victims rights. It is to help prevent serious crimes and those that put the peace\, security and well-being of the world at risk. \nHow You Can Mark the Day \nThere are a number of different ways you can play a part. Why not write an article or a blog to highlight the need for justice where you live? You could send a communication to your local elected representative and voice your opinion. Speak to members of your government. Or take part in one of the many events that will be held in cities around the world.

SUMMARY:World Youth Skills Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Young people are almost three times more likely to be unemployed than adults and continuously exposed to lower quality of jobs\, greater labor market inequalities\, and longer and more insecure school-to-work transitions. In addition\, women are more likely to be underemployed and under-paid\, and to undertake part-time jobs or work under temporary contracts. \nThat is why education and training are key determinants of success in the labor market. But unfortunately\, existing systems are failing to address the learning needs of many young people\, and surveys of learning outcomes and skills show that a large number of youth have low levels of achievement in basic literacy and numeracy. Skills and jobs for youth feature prominently in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\, and SDG target 4.4 calls for a substantial increase in the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills.

SUMMARY:World Population Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:A Special Day to Raise Awareness of Population Issues \nJuly 11th every year is World Population Day. This event has been celebrated for almost three decades and the aim is to focus the world’s attention on the importance of population issues. \nThe Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended its introduction in 1989. Inspiration for this special day comes from the interest that was raised by “Five Billion Day” on 11th July\, 1987. This was the day when the world’s population reached 5 billion. \nIn 1968\, the International Conference on Human Rights was held. For the first time ever\, family planning was affirmed to be a human right. The Tehran Proclamation\, adopted during the conference\, states that it is a basic right of parents to be able to decide on the number and spacing of their children. \nMillions of women\, globally\, are still not given access to safe and effective family planning methods. Which is why it has been chosen as the focus for previous years. A basic human right is to be able to get safe and effective family planning. It should also be a voluntary choice. Gender equality and women’s empowerment depend on it. Further more\, it is a key factor in reducing poverty.

SUMMARY:National Tom Sawyer Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Tom Sawyer Day is an annual event held in the city of Hannibal\, Missouri. Hannibal is the hometown of Mark Twain.

Tom and Huckleberry appear in two other novels\, Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer\, Detective.National Tom Sawyer Days are organized by Hannibal Jaycees. They are held from July 1 to July 5. The main event takes place on July 4\, coinciding with Independence Day. The celebration typically includes a big parade\, carnival\, flea market\, pet show\, art & crafts show\, talent show\, fireworks display\, etc. Most of the competitions held on this day are inspired from Mark Twain’s novels.

Many of them visit the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Mark Twain Cave.

SUMMARY:International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking 2023
DESCRIPTION:Yes\, it may not have the snappiest title but the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is a key plank in the United Nations’ war on drugs. \nOriginally instigated by a resolution of a special session on drugs of the UN’s General Assembly in 1987\, the annual awareness day was founded to mark the centenary of China’s early efforts to combat the trade in opium – widely regarded as the start of the international war on drugs. \nCelebrated each year on June 26th\, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime uses the commemorative day to highlight the dangers of drug use and their illegal trade and provides educational material to teachers and public officials all over the world to help spread the message about the extreme cultural and economic harm the trade in drugs is still doing across the globe one hundred years after the war on drugs was initially launched in Shanghai around the start of the 20th Century. \nThe importance of the strategy was reinforced when the UN decided to hold a General Assembly on drugs to mark a milestone in the progress of an earlier policy document which called on members states to combat both drug demand and supply\, while improving access to treatment for addicts. \n

SUMMARY:Day of the Seafarer 2023
DESCRIPTION:June 25 is the Day of the Seafarer\, an annual and international event day coordinated by the International Maritime Organisation. \nLast year’s Day of the Seafarer celebrated seafarers and let the world know how and why seafarers are indispensable to everyone. This year the Day will recognise the unique contribution made by seafarers from all over the world to international seaborne trade\, the world economy and civil society as a whole\, with the theme Seafarers Matter’. \nThe day recognises the unique and vital role of seafarers in the global community\, and the United Nations recognise the Day of the Seafarer as an observance day. \nThe Day of the Seafarer was established in 2010 by by a resolution adopted at a diplomatic conference in Manila. The revised International Convention on Standards of Training\, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW)\, the original STCW was to ensure an international standard of competency and welfare for seafarers\, for their safety\, and the revision was to ensure the upholding of the Day of the Seafarer as part of this.

The day aims to see events run in ports and seafarer centres as well as online. \nLeading up to the 25 June\, seafarers are being invited to answer questions on what a fair future for seafarers looks like. The answers will be shared afterwards and will provide a soundboard to help guide our actions moving forward. Polls are available on all IMO social media platforms.

SUMMARY:World Sand Dune Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:A World Sand Dune Day is being setup to highlight the importance of sand dunes. \nHealthy dunes provide habitats for a wealth of rare and specialised wildlife. These include a range of wildflowers\, bryophytes\, invertebrates and insects who require bare sand habitat to survive.Coastal sand dunes are also beautiful and important landscapes for communities\, both as recreational spaces allowing personal connection with nature\, and as places filled with cultural heritage and celebrated sites of historic renown. \nOver the last 80 years\, open sand has largely disappeared from UK sand dunes\, being replaced by dense grass and scrub. This change has been caused by factors such as the introduction of non-native plants\, lower levels of grazing\, climate change and air pollution. As the dunes have become more stable and overgrown\, rare wildlife has declined. \nThe day is being set up by the Twyni Byw-Sands of LIFE and Dynamic Dunescapes projects. These are two projects working to protect sand dunes and the wildlife that depends upon them. Events are still currently at planning stage\, but you can keep in touch by visiting their twitter accounts: @TwyniByw and @DynamicDunes. The hashtag for the day will be #WorldSandDuneDay. \nSands of LIFE (LIFE17 NAT/UK/000023) is a major conservation project to revitalise sand dunes across Wales. It will recreate natural movement in the dunes and rejuvenate habitats which are home to some of our rarest wildlife. The £4 million project\, led by Natural Resources Wales (NRW)\, will restore over 2400 hectares of sand dunes\, across four Special Areas of Conservation\, on 10 separate Welsh sites. The project has received 75% funding from the LIFE Programme of the European Union\, with the Welsh Government providing 25% match funding. \nDynamic Dunescapes (HG-16-08643; LIFE17 NAT/UK/000570-DuneLIFE) is a partnership project rejuvenating sand dunes in England and Wales. Project partners are Natural England\, Plantlife\, Natural Resources Wales\, National Trust and The Wildlife Trusts. The project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the EU LIFE Programme. For more information visit http://www.dynamicdunescapes.co.uk

This ground-breaking global awareness week\, spearheaded by international NGO\, How Many Elephants (HME) celebrates and supports female wildlife rangers – They’re bold\, changing the game and paving the way for women to stand alongside men at the forefront of conservation\, but they need allies.\n\nThe pioneering World Female Ranger Week (WFRW) includes online and live events\, plus a fundraising platform – http://www.worldfemalerangerweek.org – to raise vital funds for the ranger teams and share their stories. \nThe founder of How Many Elephants and World Female Ranger Week\, Holly Budge says\, “having patrolled with multiple ranger teams in Africa\, I’ve seen first-hand how these bold women are impacting lives; Protecting wildlife\, uplifting communities and empowering other women. WFRW highlights the significant gender imbalance in environmental conservation. My team and I will continue collating gender-specific data about female rangers globally\, enabling us to identify their needs\, find tangible solutions and help build effective policies to contribute towards positive outcomes; for female rangers and conservation as a whole.” \nAs champions of wildlife conservation\, as role models\, as educators and as beacons of hope\, female rangers are not only transforming attitudes towards the role of women around the world; they are showing the capabilities and success of females in traditionally male roles. However\, less than 11% of the global wildlife ranger workforce is female. With women being natural communicators\, protectors and investing their earned income in their families\, bringing gender equality into the workforce enhances community conservation efforts and relationships. Over the last two years\, the pandemic has crippled tourism and funding for conservation projects globally. The lack of tourists visiting National Parks has led to many rangers losing their jobs or having significant salary cuts. The knock-on effect of this is huge. For example\, one ranger in Africa may support up to 16 family members. Additionally\, reduced vigilance in tourist hotspots has left wildlife even more vulnerable to poaching. \nSo\, the often-challenging work of rangers is paramount right now. Day and night\, female rangers patrol wilderness areas\, monitoring wildlife\, seizing snares\, working with communities and in some cases\, arresting poachers\, all to save iconic species from extinction. They are away from their families for long periods\, sometimes facing workplace security issues and battling social stigma. Many of these inspirational women have overcome adversity\, poverty and marginalisation. Becoming a ranger has empowered them\, turned them into breadwinners and property owners\, and has allowed them access to higher education and much-needed healthcare. They need our support to continue their vital work. \n\nWhen is World Female Ranger Week? \nJune 23rd-30th 2023 (and annually)\nHow to get involved in World Female Ranger Week?\n\nWorld Female Ranger Week is seeking long-term strategic partnerships with companies\, associations\, and global citizens to expand the campaign’s reach to strengthen the support of female rangers. Businesses and individuals can set up fundraising pages via worldfemalerangerweek.org. \nFor updates\, follow @worldfemalerangerweek on Instagram and Facebook\, @femalerangerwk on Twitter\, or use hashtag\, #worldfemalerangerweek.

SUMMARY:International Women In Engineering Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:International Women in Engineering Day is an international awareness campaign to raise the profile of women in engineering and focus attention on the amazing career opportunities available to girls in this exciting industry. It celebrates the outstanding achievements of women engineers throughout the world. \nTaking place annually on 23 June\, National Women in Engineering Day was launched for the first time in the UK in 2014 by the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) to celebrate its 95th anniversary. Since that launch the day has grown enormously over the subsequent years to the point where it received UNESCO patronage in 2016. In 2017\, National Women in Engineering Day became international for the first time due to the interest and enthusiasm developed by the international audience and participants in the previous years. International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) was born to allow the celebration of women in engineering to become global. In previous years we’ve aimed to encourage all groups (Governmental\, educational\, corporate\, Professional Engineering Institutions\, individuals and other organisations) to organise their own events in support of the day\, and link them together for maximum impact through the use of the INWED logo/campaign\, corresponding website\, and supporting resources. \nTarget Groups: \nGovernment\nEducation\nCorporate\nProfessional Engineering Institutions\nOther companies and organisations in the Sector\nIndividuals\nYoung people’s groups\nSpecial interest networks and groups\nPress \nWe suggest organisers get as much publicity for their events as possible\, to get engineering‚ and girls‚ (or women!) into the same sentence as often as possible\, and to start to raise the profile of an engineering career as a great choice\, with an exciting future\, and amazing opportunities.

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Refugee Day is held on June 20th. This is an annual event\, held on the same date each year. \nWorld Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees\, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster. \nRefugees are vulnerable and in need\, and are often misunderstood and maligned\, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food\, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

In the UK\, Refugee Week is a nationwide programme of arts\, cultural and educational events that celebrate the contribution of refugees to the UK\, and encourages a better understanding between communities. \nRefugee Week started in 1998 as a direct reaction to hostility in the media and society in general towards refugees and asylum seekers.

SUMMARY:Autistic Pride Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, organisations from across the globe celebrate Autistic Pride Day on June 18 with a variety of events. The aim of this day is to raise awareness amongst those who are not on the autistic spectrum disorder so they do not see autistic people as requiring treatment\, but as unique individuals. \nThis annual event was first celebrated by Aspies for Freedom in 2005 and they modelled Autistic Pride Day on the gay pride movement. One of the most significant aspects of the day is that it is not run by charities; it is run by autistic people themselves. Since its beginnings\, Autistic Pride Day has been a community event and not a day for other organisations to promote themselves by stifling autistic people. It is now a global celebration that takes place predominantly online. \nAutistic Pride Day is represented by the rainbow infinity symbol. This symbol is intended to represent the diversity of autistic people and the infinite possibilities and variations within the autistic community. \nAccording to representatives of Autistic Pride Day\, people with autism have unique characteristics that provide them with both rewards and challenges. Although many of the difficulties they face are because of their neurodiversity\, another factor is issues in society. For example\, society’s attitude towards autism is often one of pity or a belief that it is a condition requiring treatment. \nActivists want to shift attitudes away from this and towards acceptance and the realisation that autism is a difference rather than a disability.

SUMMARY:World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought 2023
DESCRIPTION:Since 1994\, June 17th has been the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought to draw public attention to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and it has been celebrated ever since. \nDesertification is an increasing ecological problem. It occurs when previously fertile land becomes desert through deforestation\, drought or improper agriculture. The Convention specifically covers the areas of the planet which are the most at risk of desertification. These areas are often home to some of the most vulnerable people and eco-systems. Each June 17th\, the World Day to Combat Desertification is promoted worldwide to raise public awareness of\, and support for\, international efforts in combating desertification and the effects of drought. \nThe 196 parties to the convention try to improve living conditions for people in these areas by restoring and maintaining the soil fertility and by mitigating the effects of drought. The parties encourage participation by local people on schemes to fight desertification and land degradation such as tree planting. They firmly believe that land degradation neutrality is possible though strong community involvement and cooperation at all levels. \nThe UNCCD Secretariat\, the country parties to the convention and its stakeholders try to educate the public about effective methods to work the land without causing degradation. The invested organisations celebrate the day by organising outreach programmes and by holding awareness raising events.

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Bug Busting Days:\nYou can choose any date that suits your timetable for a school Bug Busting Day\, but the most effective dates to take part are the National Bug Busting Days: 31 January\, 15 June and 31 October\, every year. Many schools across the country take part on these dates\, and by synchronizing Bug Busting across the country you can help prevent lice from circulating from head to head and back again. \nOften cases are light and easily missed and remain contagious if the Bug Busting wet combing method is not used.\nParents must learn to check the efficacy of any treatment choice because none guarantees a complete cure.

SUMMARY:Brake's Kids Walk 2023
DESCRIPTION:It is every child’s right to be able to walk in their community without fear of traffic and pollution. Danger from traffic is a big factor in whether families are able to walk safely in the places where they live. It affects their ability to be healthy and socially active. \nChildren of all ages are at risk of being hurt or killed when walking near roads. On average\, six children are killed or seriously injured on roads in Britain every day – that’s equivalent to a whole class of children every single week. \nBrake’s Kids Walk is a great way to inspire and engage children about the dangers they face and raise awareness among parents and the wider community about the need to protect children on roads. \nIt’s also a great opportunity to fundraise for Brake and support families who have lost loved ones in road crashes.

SUMMARY:Sewing Machine Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:A Day That Celebrates the Invention of the Sewing Machine\nHow many of you have heard of National Sewing Machine Day? We’d put money on there only being a few. Who is responsible for creating this unusual day? We really couldn’t find a culprit. What is its purpose? To celebrate the invention of the sewing machine of course. It is observed every year on June 13.\nWho Invented the Sewing Machine?\nThis is a much easier question to answer. It was English inventor Thomas Saint who applied for the first sewing machine patent\, in 1790. The design for Thomas’s sewing machine was never taken any further\, and there is no evidence that his machine for stitching leather and canvas was ever made. \nA working model of a sewing machine wasn’t made until 1874. A guy named William Newton Wilson found the drawings made by Saint in the Patent Office in London. He made some adjustments to the design and went on to build a working model. This model is now on display in the London Science Museum. \nSewing machines have been used in industrial settings for many years\, and it wasn’t all that long ago you would have found one in many people’s homes. They went out of fashion for several years\, with the influx of cheap manufactured clothes and furnishings. But are currently enjoying a bit of a revival. \nIf you want to celebrate National Sewing Machine Day\, the best way to do it is to get stitching and make something for yourself or your family.

SUMMARY:Carers Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:About Carers Week \nCarers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring\, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support. \nThe campaign is brought to life by thousands of individuals and organisations who come together to provide support for carers\, run activities and highlight the vital role carers play in our communities\, drawing attention to just how important caring is. \nCarers need to be recognised for the difficulties they are experiencing\, respected for all they are doing\, provided with information\, and given the support they need to care safely. \nA carer is anyone who looks after a family member or friend who has a disability\, mental or physical illness\, addiction\, or who needs extra help as they grow older. Caring’s impact on all aspects of life from relationships and health to finances and work can be significant. Whilst many feel that caring is one of the most important things they do\, its challenges should not be underestimated. Caring without the right information and support can be tough. It is vitally important that we recognise the contribution carers make to their families and local communities\, workplaces and society\, and that they get the support they need. \nFind out how you can get involved in this year’s Carer’s Week here\, and show your support by saying “I Care” on social media.

SUMMARY:Pride Month 2023
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.

In this article\, we explore the essence of Pride Month 2023\, its history\, and how you can actively participate in this empowering celebration. \nWhat is Pride Month 2023?\nPride Month is a month-long celebration that recognizes the LGBTQ+ community and their contributions to society.

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.

SUMMARY:World Milk Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Raise a glass to celebrate World Milk Day 2023 \nWe say Cheers’\, Mma manu’\, Yam sing‚to the parents who make sure there’s always a carton in the fridge\, to the hard working dairy farmers\, to the organisations who provide dairy supplements to help tackle famine and malnutrition\, to the huge network of people who help us to enjoy milk. \nAs we Raise a Glass to milk\, we connect with others and invite them to join the celebration that the goodness represents. It allows us to share the stories about all the goodness of milk and all the people who produce it. It offers a simple\, natural way to recognize the people who matter most to us ‚ in our communities\, schools and homes. \nBack in 2001\, somebody decided that the world should take a day to celebrate anything and everything related to milk. They requested that the FAO (the Food and Agriculture Organisations of the United Nations) should put forward a specific day for these festivities they selected June 1st\, and the rest his history! \nThe tradition of celebrating World Milk Day on June 1st came from the fact that many countries were already celebrating World Milk Day on or around this date. A date in late May was originally proposed\, but some countries felt that they already had too many holidays around this time. As a result\, June 1st became the special day dedicated to milk. \nWorld Milk Day puts a lot of attention on milk and does a great job in publicising activities connected with the milk industry. The fact that many countries around the globe all choose this specific day for World Milk Day shows that milk is a food that is cherished worldwide.

SUMMARY:International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers 2023
DESCRIPTION:Every May 29th\, the world celebrates the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers. \nThe United Nations Peacekeepers are a force made up of over 113\,000 people\, (though more than a million have served since it first started 70 years ago) both police forces and civilians. Created from 125 countries\, and serving in 14 missions all over the world currently. They are used to protect and care for civilians\, disarm ex-combatants\, ensure ceasefires are kept\, protect human rights\, the rules of law and supporting free and fair democracy. They also work tirelessly to make sure women’s voices are heard and growing in civilian\, military and political life. \nThe International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers was created to celebrate the people who serve with the force and veterans of the service\, pay tribute to those who have lost their lives trying to make the world a better place through the force and help bring awareness of this force for good in the world. While many are aware of the Peacekeepers\, very few are aware of what missions it carries out constantly. The budget for the force is also only less than 0.5% of the money spent in military worldwide. \nThis year alone\, they are present in Cote d’Ivoire\, Haiti\, Liberia\, Southern Sudan\, Mali and continue to work across the globe on removing landmines and explosives abandoned after wars. These explosives continue to be a problem for many people trying to put their lives back together after war and expand farmland\, create new communities and just explore.

SUMMARY:Oak Apple Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:As perhaps the most British day in the calendar\, Oak Apple Day has absolutely nothing to do with celebrating apples themselves and everything to do with the restoration of the monarchy\, following the rule of Oliver Cromwell and his anti-royal cohorts. Cromwell was a man so miserable that he banned Christmas\, and it was for this (but probably more the execution of Charles I) that he was dug up two years after he died and posthumously executed. What a time to be alive. \nOther names for Oak Apple Day include Restoration Day\, Royal Oak Day\, Shick Shack Day\, Packie Bonner Day\, Oak and Nettle Day\, and Yak Bob Day. Apart from Packie Bonner Day we made that one up using the name of the former Celtic and Ireland goalkeeper. But you’d believe it if we left it in\, wouldn’t you?

SUMMARY:European Neighbours' Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Every Year at the End of May is European Neighbour’s Day \nNeighbour’s Day celebrations take place all over the world. The European Neighbour’s Day is held at the end of may and encourages residents groups and housing organisations to participate and organise their own individual events. \nWhat is the Goal of Neighbour’s Day? \nNeighbour’s day is organised by the European Federation of Local Solidarity. The aim of the day is to promote better community communication and cohesion. Social bonds are becoming thinner and people are leading more solitary lives. Neighbour’s Day is meant to counteract this and encourages people to have fun getting together. \nThe celebration was first launched in Paris in 2000. Ever since then\, more and more countries have been taking part. Last year\, for example\, there were more than 30 million participants from 36 different countries. \nHow You Can Take Part \nAll it takes to participate is the organising of a party with your neighbours. It could be in your own garden\, out in the street or in a local community hall. The idea is to get people together so that neighbours who rarely speak can talk to each other and have fun together. \nSupport is available from EFLS and there is even an award that housing associations\, organisers and mayors can put themselves forward for. A promotional video\, guide\, timetable and press kit is also provided for organisers needs.

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000. It was founded by American Tortoise Rescue. \nThe purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtle and tortoises. It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world. There are many people that dress as turtles while others may just decide to wear something green. People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face. It is also something that children enjoy getting involved in. \nAmerican Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Susan Tellem and Marshall Thompson. It is a nonprofit organisation that rescues and rehabilitates all species of tortoise and turtle. It also does a lot of work on protecting the environments in which these animals live. They will always try and find new homes for the animals but if this is not possible then they will remain in the care of the ATR.

SUMMARY:National Epilepsy Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:From May 24 to May 30\, National Epilepsy Week will be taking place to raise awareness for those affected by epilepsy\, what epilepsy is\, who’s affected and what can be done to help those who suffer from this condition. \nWhat is epilepsy? \nEpilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain and causes recurring seizures or fits in people. Due to an uncontrolled increase of excess electrical activity in the brain interfering with the normal functions\, this causes a short interruption to the relay of messages in the brain. \nWho’s affected? \nApproximately 500\,000 people in the England are diagnosed with epilepsy\, affecting people of all ages\, from newborns to the elderly. \nWhat can be done to help? \nLearning to recognise the symptoms of a seizure is a great place to start helping those affected\, as well as knowing what to do when a seizure occurs to minimise the harm done to both the person and those around them. You can also look into lobbying for more support for those affected by epilepsy\, so they can get the treatment and care they deserve. \nAll in all\, epilepsy is a condition affecting more people than you might think\, and by knowing the early warning signs and what to do when a seizure occurs can make a big difference helping those affected by the chronic condition.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2023
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. Bridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \nCultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \nAt the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \nIn 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \nThe day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \nSupport sustainable systems of governance for culture \nAchieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals \nIntegrate culture in sustainable development frameworks \nPromote human rights and fundamental freedoms

SUMMARY:National Stationery Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:If you think this is a celebration of not moving\, then your spelling needs a bit of work National Stationery Week is all about cheerleading the act of writing by hand\, and encouraging people from all around the globe to share details of their favourite pens\, pencils\, sharpeners\, and whatever fills their pencil cases. If they have one. It’s certainly an odd get-together\, but one that may be taking advantage of a shift in trends that may force people to abandon the venture of handwriting altogether. \nIn a world where people like us are typing this on a keyboard instead of writing it by hand\, it might be quite a good initiative; for all we know\, handwriting may be a trade as dead as lamp-lighting\, town crying or door-to-door sales. So\, get your Staedtler Noris school pencils\, your Helix 30cm rulers and your Bic for Her range of comfortable\, female-friendly medium ballpoint pens\, and go wild for a week.

We produce posters\, leaflets and factsheets\, which are then made available for order by hospitals\, GP surgeries\, health charities\, schools\, universities and anyone with an interest in salt\, food or health! These resources are intended for local community events during the week\, or for display year round in pharmacies and GP surgeries\, helping our salt reduction messages reach a wide range of people. Last year there were more than 300 supporting events up and down the country. \nFor many years\, our annual Salt Awareness Week campaign has been scheduled according to the UK policy calendar in March. We’re pleased to announce that the campaign will now take place in the third week of May – every year! \nThis new and consistent date allows supporters in the UK and internationally to plan their own activities to mark the awareness week ahead of time.  We look forward to working with you to get salt reduction onto the global agenda\, stay tuned for more information on the theme and resources for the week. \nHeart attacks and strokes are the biggest causes of death and disability in the UK\, with two people suffering from these often-debilitating conditions every 5 minutes. The strain this is having\, not only on the individual and their families\, but on our struggling NHS cannot be ignored.   \nMost cases are entirely preventable\, and so it’s vital we all take measures to improve our health and prevent these events from happening in the first place. It’s a little-known fact that eating less salt is one of the quickest and most effective ways of improving our health\, with just 1 less ‘pinch’ a day preventing over 4\,000 heart attacks and strokes every year in the UK. But how can we cut back on our salt\, when everything we buy is full of it?   \nFrom sliced bread to biscuits\, Friday night takeaways to ‘healthy’ salads\, everything has added salt. In fact\, three quarters of the salt we eat is already in the foods we buy\, and it’s impossible to take it out once it’s been added in.   \nJoin us as we call on food companies to Ditch the Salt for the sake of our hearts  \nIf you would like to be involved this year\, whether you are a food business\, a charity\, a community organisation\, a politician\, a school\, or a libertarian think tank\, we would love to hear from you!  \nPlease get in touch: cash@qmul.ac.uk   \nSupport our campaign and join the conversation on Twitter: #SaltAwarenessWeek

SUMMARY:Water Saving Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:The UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having an extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

SUMMARY:National Mills Weekend 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Mills Weekend is the annual festival of our milling heritage and provides you with a fantastic opportunity to visit mills\, many of which are not usually open to the public. \nIn 2023 it will take place online on the 13th and 14th May and we hope even more mills than in previous years will open their doors and welcome visitors. \nUntil the advent of the steam engine\, wind and watermills provided the only source of power for many different processes – from making flour\, paper\, cloth to hammering metal and extracting oils. You can explore mills that produced\, or still produce these products\, some restored to working order\, some derelict\, some still working commercially. \nSearch for mills open in your area: \nTo find the mills open in your area\, search for your county in our Windmills and Watermills pages. Given the number of mills open\, we have divided the mills by their type – Windmills or Watermills. \nA new aid for visiting mills\, especially over National Mills Weekend. \nThose of you with Android on your phone can install a free app that means you can have the information from the website with you\, even when you are out and about\, quite possibly without an internet connection to contact the site. You can get it at: \nhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details \nThe app links with your other apps\, such as mapping to give you directions to the various mills\, and if you do have an internet connection\, you can use it to pull up more information about many of the mills from Windmill World and the Mills Archive. \nThe app will be updated as details of this year’s Mills Weekend are finalised at various mills.

SUMMARY:National Limerick Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Everybody needs a bit of silliness in their lives from time to time and National Limerick Day provides the perfect annual opportunity. Celebrated each year on the 12th May the familiar five line verse is renowned for its humorous\, sometimes bawdy themes. Instantly recognisable from the rhythm of the verse they are cleverly constructed to put a smile on the face. \nNational Limerick Day is set on 12th May to mark the birthday of Edward Lear\, the English writer known for his works of nonsensical prose and poetry. It was Edward Lear who was to popularise the Limerick in his A Book of Nonsense\, published 1846. His limericks were popular then and this form of nonsense literature has managed to retain its appeal to this day. \nLimericks will normally have the first\, second and final lines ending with the same rhyme\, while the third and fourth shorter lines have their own rhyme as illustrated below: \nThere was an Old Man with a beard\,\nWho said\, ‘It is just as I feared!\nTwo Owls and a Hen\,\nFour Larks and a Wren\,\nHave all built their nests in my beard!’ \nThis style of verse can act as a great introduction to the idea of poetry for children and National Limerick Day helps to maintain awareness of this brand of poem. Although limericks were not invented by Edward Lear\, holding National Limerick Day on his birthday is a suitable nod to the man who brought them to the larger public’s attention.

DESCRIPTION:In Brexit Britain\, it might now be a case of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted\, but for the 48 percent of people who want an excuse to fall out with family once again\, Europe Day seems as good a time as any to do it. \nHeld on May 9th every single year\, Europe Day celebrates peace and unity across the continent in a non-sarcastic way and national and international political buildings throw open their doors and hold events for the public. \nThe date was chosen as it was when French foreign minister Robert Schuman made the so-called Schuman declaration this speech in 1950 set out the idea that Europe usher in a whole new era of political cooperation in Europe\, just five years after the end of the Second World War.

SUMMARY:International Day Of The Midwife 2023
DESCRIPTION:Every year on May 5th\, the International Day of the Midwife takes place. While you’d think it was an incredibly long-marked awareness day\, it wasn’t made official until 1992\, when it was launched formally by the International Confederation of Midwives. Themes for the day have included healthy families\, newborn babies\, partnerships between midwives and mothers\, and leading the way with quality care. \nThe IDM encourages midwives to make the day and raise money for good causes\, whether that’s by organising a concert or march\, setting up a stall to educate others on midwifery\, holding a meeting\, or even inviting a celebrity\, government minister or expert to speak or open an event.

SUMMARY:National Day of Reason 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Day of Reason is a secular celebration\, annually observed on the first Thursday in May. \nThis legal celebration was established for all atheists\, humanists and secularists\, who can’t celebrate National Day of Prayer. The dates of both days coincide. National Day of Prayer was created for all Americans to turn to God\, gather together and pray for peace and prosperity of the nation. However\, not all Americans consider themselves to be members of any religion and thus they can’t pray. National Day of Reason was created only for them to have a reason to celebrate. However\, this secular holiday also raises public awareness of the threat to religious liberty posed by American government intrusion into the private sphere of worship. \nNational Day of Reason was created in 2003 by the American Humanist Association. In 2005 the observance was strongly advocated by the Center for Atheism and they marked it with blood donation. During the next years the popularity of this observance grew. In 2011 and 2012 the representative Pete Stark supported the proclamation of National Day of Reason in the House of Representatives and the resolution to honor this day was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. \nDifferent events are organized by many associations on National Day of Reason. These events vary from blood donations and food drives to secular celebrations as alternatives to National Day of Prayer. Many individuals protest observance of National Day of Prayer.

SUMMARY:National Teacher Day in the USA 2023
DESCRIPTION:Teachers play a very important role in the development of every nation\, that’s why their work is appreciated in many countries around the world\, including the USA. National Teacher Day is celebrated in the USA annually since 1985. \nThe history of National Teacher Day can be traced back to 1944\, however\, its origin is murky. Mattye Whyte Woodridge\, a teacher from Arkansas\, had an idea of establishment a Teacher Day and around 1944 he started corresponding with educational and political leaders. \nHe insisted on the need for a national holiday to honor the work of teachers.Woodridge wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt to describe his idea\, and she persuaded the 81st Congress to proclaim a National Teacher Day. But there was still a long way ahead for it. \nThe National Education Association\, Kansas and Indiana states lobbied Congress to create the national holiday for all teachers. And finally\, Congress declared March 7\, 1980 to be National Teacher Day for that year only. \nThe National Education Association continued to observe the holiday in March\, till its Representative Assembly voted to change the date in 1985. The date of the event was moved to Tuesday during the first full week of May\, that is also Teacher Appreciation Week.

SUMMARY:Children's Book Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Recognised as the longest running national literacy initiative in the USA\, running since 1919\, there is absolutely tonnes of stuff to get involved with and encourage children to read and love books. \nThe event is so popular that the organisers run 2 different weeks of celebration and activity: \nMay 1-7\, 2023 and November 6-12\, 2023! \nEvents take place in schools\, libraries\, bookstores and within your own home should you choose! \nThe week long awareness campaign has a fascinating history. Initially set up by the librarian of the Boy Scouts of America\, who in turn recruited Frederic G. Melcher\, the visionary editor of Publishers Weekly who believed that “a great nation is a reading nation\,” and Anne Carroll Moore\, the Superintendent of Children’s Works at the New York Public Library and a major figure in the library world. Form then on\, Children’s Book Week grew and was supported and backed by more and more organisations with the Children’s Book Council leading the way since 1944. \nWe know that not all children enjoy reading\, but this is a superb opportunity to encourage those less interested as well as providing those who love reading to read a little bit more and share their love!

SUMMARY:Sun Awareness Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:The British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) currently runs a national campaign around skin cancer called Sun Awareness\, which includes National Sun Awareness Week in May. This campaign is overseen by the BAD’s Skin Cancer Prevention Committee\, comprised of leading medical professionals with expertise in skin cancer\, vitamin D and public health messaging. \nSun Awareness is the British Association of Dermatologists’ annual campaign to raise awareness of skin cancer. The campaign runs from April to September annually and includes Sun Awareness Week in May. The campaign is two-pronged and combines prevention and detection advice. The first aim is to encourage people to regularly self-examine for skin cancer. The second is to teach people about the dangers of sunburn and excessive tanning\, and to discourage people from using sun beds\, in light of the associated risks of skin cancer. In addition to public education about the dangers of sun bed use\, the BAD has also been involved in campaigning for legislation to regulate the sun bed industry and is continuing to push towards further and improved regulation. \nThis year’s Sun Awareness Week will be held from the 1st -7th May 2023. \nIt’s quite easy to be safe when playing outside\, with the simplest and most important thing to do being putting on sun screen. Make sure you put on a hat\, or cover your skin. It’s the easy things like this that save your skin from harmful and painful damage caused by the sun when over-exposed. \nWhat damage can the sun cause? \nOver-exposure to the sun’s rays can cause serious damage to your body\, with two common types of cancers. One being non-melanoma\, and melanoma\, which is by far the most dangerous and deadly skin cancer. This simple reason is enough to look after your skin and stay in the shade and be safe in the sun. \nWho is affected? \nEveryone is affected by damage to the skin from the sun\, in fact last year\, 35% of people in the UK were burnt at least once\, with 28% of those being burnt more than three times during the year. \nSo this year\, remember to wear sunscreen\, wear a t-shirt\, stay in the shade and during Sun Awareness Week spread the word of sun safety and the dangers of over exposure!

SUMMARY:International Dance Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:UNESCO has a habit of reserving 24 hours for everything in the field of performing arts\, so it’s perhaps no surprise that there’s an annual International Dance Day. It has been earmarked as a celebration for anyone who attaches value and importance to dance\, and acts as a wake-up-call for governments\, politicians and institutions which have not yet recognised its value. \nWhile this sounds just a little bit overboard\, you’d be surprised at how many places frown upon or outright ban the act of dancing. Even in the US\, strict Southern Baptists don’t dance\, and this led to the famous hard work of Chicago teen Ren McCormack\, who proved them wrong and overcame the community through the medium of dance in the hard-hitting 1984 documentary Footloose.

SUMMARY:World Malaria Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Malaria Day is held each year on April 25th. This annual event is a worldwide effort\, to raise awareness of Malaria and funds for the treatment and prevention of malaria. The day works to highlight the need for better political intervention in malaria control and prevention. The day also marks the continuing great achievements in the fight against Malaria. \nLast year’s theme for World Malaria Day was ‘End Malaria for Good’ and the day is hosted by the World Health Organization. \nThe World Health Organization is putting prevention of malaria to the forefront in this event\, with the aim of reducing the massive global death toll of 400\,000 people to Malaria every year. Efforts to highlight prevention has been reducing the death toll\, especially through the use of insecticide and mosquito nets\, as mosquitos are the most common carriers and spreaders of Malaria. The continued campaign of prevention is proving effective and saving lives\, but there is still a long way to go. \nWorld Malaria Day and continued awareness and prevention\, as well as lobbying for better political support must continue and increase in order to eradicate the disease and prevent deaths from it. Investment and interest from governments is essential for this continued fight against Malaria and related deaths.

SUMMARY:Schools Alumni Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is Schools Alumni Week?\nEducation charity Future First is launching the first ever Schools Alumni Week this April! \nWe all come from different places\, have different experiences\, and are surrounded by different people. For lots of young people\, these differences present a disadvantage. Nearly 50% of the most persistently disadvantaged children (on free school meals) don’t know anyone in a job they’d like to do. This must change. \nMany different forms of disadvantage\, such as a child’s residential location\, ethnicity\, household income\, being in care (or being a carer)\, having additional needs (SEND)\, or involvement in the criminal justice system\, all impact a child’s opportunities. This means that so many young people are missing out on valuable experiences\, prospects and invisible networks\, that an alumni can bring. Schools Alumni Week has been launched to help address this. \nWhen is Schools Alumni Week?\nEducation charity Future First is launching the first ever Schools Alumni Week April 24th – 28th 2023 in a bid to raise awareness of the importance of relatable role models for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. \nHow to get involved in Schools Alumni Week\nWhether you’re a teacher\, current volunteer\, politician\, or just plain passionate about helping young people\, help us to do just that by shining a light on #SchoolsAlumniWeek\, bringing alumni and role models into the curriculum\, volunteering\, or partnering with us.

SUMMARY:Saint George's Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:So here it is: another opportunity for red-blooded English people\, and a handful of tabloids\, to complain that St George’s Day isn’t a national holiday. That said\, they might have a point a mere 600+ years ago\, it was a holiday on par with Christmas in the UK. Known to have defeated a dragon which almost certainly didn’t exist\, St George was most famously killed for refusing to recant his Christian faith\, effectively opening the door to sainthood. In England\, the occasion is still quite the lacklustre affair indeed\, St Patrick’s Day probably gets more people in the pubs. \nBut for those looking to *really* celebrate St George\, he isn’t just the preserve of England; he’s particularly popular in Portugal\, Spain\, Bulgaria and even Russia\, for all manner of reasons and they all host events in his honour. In Georgia\, the St George Cross features prominently in the country’s flag though contrary to popular belief\, the nation wasn’t named after the man himself.

SUMMARY:World Book Night 2023
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve never found a book you’ve liked\, there’s a good chance that you’ve not tried that many books and World Book Night is here to prove to both children and adults that there are plenty of opportunities to get lost in a good book. Every year\, the occasion is coordinated by the Reading Agency\, a national charity that aims to help people become confident and enthusiastic readers. \nWorld Book Night celebrates both reading and books every year on April 23rd\, when books are distributed throughout the UK to specifically\, but not exclusively\, reach those who don’t often get the opportunity to read – hospitals\, prisons\, homeless shelters and care homes are a particular focus. Those who love a good book are asked to give out their own books to similarly affected people in their own communities or the wider UK. \nFor the past 6 years World Book Night has also been celebrated in the USA as well as the UK and Ireland\, with almost 50\,000 people giving away a million books across the three different countries.

SUMMARY:World Voice Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:WVD (World Voice Day) is a global annual event held on 16 April dedicated to the phenomenon of voice celebration. The aim is to show the enormous value of the voice in the people’s daily lives. Voice is an important aspect of healthy and effective communication. The WVD brings worldwide awareness of the necessity of preventing voice issues\, training the artistic voice\, rehabilitating the sick or deviant voice as well as researching the application and function of the voice. \nThe World Voice Day goal is to encourage people using their voice for pleasure or business to learn how they can take care of their voice plus know how they can seek help as well as training and also support research that is carried on the voice. The production of voice is normally studied and applied in lots of disciplines like biology\, art\, phonetics\, psychology\, physics\, music\, speech-language pathology and medicine. \nThe idea to dedicate a special day\, annually on 16 April to the voice was first launched in the year 1999 by the Society of Laryngology & Voice in Brazil. In 2002\, Professor Mario Andre\, the Portuguese laryngologist\, then the European Laryngological Society president\, suggested that people all over the world should celebrate World Voice Day. \nThat idea was developed further and adopted in different nations. In 2012\, Dr Filipa  from Portugal\, Prof. Tecumseh Fitch from Austria and Prof. Johan Sundberg from Sweden\, who were all voice researchers\, invited voice experts from several nations to form a global group for the World Voice Day celebration. Currently\, the group has 66 members; these members initiate\, as well as help\, coordinate the World Voice Day events in their respective nations.

SUMMARY:International Dark-Sky Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration\, learning\, and action! \n2023 International Dark Sky Week is\, April 15 – 22nd! \nCreated in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow\, International Dark Sky Week has grown to become a worldwide event and a key component of Global Astronomy Month. Each year it is held in April around Astronomy Day. \nIn explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. I want to help preserve its wonder. \nInternational Dark Sky Week draws attention to the problems associated with light pollution and promotes simple solutions available to mitigate it. \nAlso read 5 Ways to Celebrate Dark Sky Week! \nLight Pollution Matters \nThe nighttime environment is a crucial natural resource for all life on Earth\, but the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting has hidden the stars\, radically changing the nighttime environment. \nBefore the advent of electric light in the 20th century\, our ancestors experienced a night sky brimming with stars that inspired science\, religion\, philosophy\, art and literature including some of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. \nThe common heritage of a natural night sky is rapidly becoming unknown to the newest generations. In fact\, millions of children across the globe will never see the Milky Way from their own homes. \nWe are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. \nFor nocturnal animals in particular\, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds\, sea turtle hatchlings\, and insects. \nHumans are not immune to the negative effects of light in their nighttime spaces. Excessive exposure to artificial light at night\, particularly blue light\, has been linked to increased risks for obesity\, depression\, sleep disorders\, diabetes and breast cancer.

SUMMARY:Thomas Jefferson's Birthday 2023
DESCRIPTION:April 13 is Thomas Jefferson’s Birthday\, the third President of the USA. He is considered as an American Founding Father and the author of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13\, 1743. He had a prominent career as a politician. \nHe was a spokesman for democracy\, represented Virginia in the Continental Congress\, embraced the position of Governor of Virginia\, served as the U.S. Minister to France and was the United States Secretary of State. \nPerhaps Jefferson’s most famous and biggest achievement was his contribution to the Declaration of Independence\, being the principal author\, proclaiming all 13 colonies to be independent sovereign states no longer governed by the British Empire. \nDuring Jefferson’s presidency\, he slashed military expenditures\, cut the budget\, and eliminated the tax on whiskey\, while simultaneously reducing the national debt by over 30%. Thomas Jefferson died in 1826 at the age of 83. Jefferson served his country for over 50 years of his life as a public official\, historian\, and philosopher. \nWhilst Jefferson is widely considered to be one of the worlds most liberal politicians and achieved much change and improvement in the lives of Americans throughout his life\, he has also come under scrutiny due to his dependace upon slavery and his beliefs that American Society remain a white mans domain. Clearly this contradiction of character and ideology has caused many to question his liberal beliefs and subsequently turned Jefferson into a paradoxical hero. \nA much documented and commented upon life (even appearing in hit musical Hamilton!)\, one thing that Thomas Jeffersons time on this earth did leave us with\, were the many inspiring and philisophical quotes; this being one of our favourites. \nWe hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness. \nLove him or loathe him\, we definitely think he has a point don’t you? \n  \n.

SUMMARY:National Siblings Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Siblings day\, usually held on the 10th of April is a holiday that celebrates siblings relationships. April 10th is fast approaching\, and you should probably be calling your siblings to hatch up a plan on how to spend the day. Siblings are an incredible gift from God and anyone who has a brother or sister should not let the day just pass by without celebrating them. \nUnfortunately\, siblings day is not recognized by federal governments and the day is therefore not necessarily a national holiday. That means you’ll have to wake up and get to work just like any other day. However\, that is not a reason not to celebrate it. You can always take time off your busy schedule and get together with your siblings for some quality time. \nAmerica has been proactive in trying to get the day recognized as a national holiday by federal governments. 49 states in the United States have been in the forefront pushing for this agenda. India and Australia have also made inroads in getting the day marked appropriately. \nThe siblings day organization has also made tremendous efforts to get this important holiday recognized. The holiday is an invention of one Claudia Evart\, who invented it in a bid to celebrate the lives of her sister and brother who had died while still young.It is not every day that we get to be with our siblings especially when we grow up. Get involved in the national siblings day and take time to appreciate your brother or sister. You can join the conversation about siblings day through the hashtag #NationalSiblingsDay

SUMMARY:Easter Sunday 2023
DESCRIPTION:The week before Easter is called Holy Week\, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum\, including Maundy Thursday\, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper\, as well as Good Friday\, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. In western Christianity\, Eastertide\, the Easter Season\, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts seven weeks\, ending with the coming of the fiftieth day\, Pentecost Sunday. In Orthodoxy\, the season of Pascha begins on Pascha and ends with the coming of the fortieth day\, the Feast of the Ascension. \nEaster and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Juliancalendars which follow only the cycle of the sun; rather\, its date is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established two rules\, independence of the Jewish calendar and worldwide uniformity\, which were the only rules for Easter explicitly laid down by the council. No details for the computation were specified; these were worked out in practice\, a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies. It has come to be the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or soonest after 21 March\, but calculations vary in East and West. Details of this complicated computation are found below in the section Date. \nEaster is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism\, as well as by its position in the calendar. In many languages\, the words for “Easter” and “Passover” are identical or very similar. Easter customs vary across the Christian world\, and includesunrise services\, exclaiming the Paschal greeting\, clipping the church\, and decorating Easter eggs\, a symbol of the empty tomb. The Easter lily\, a symbol of the resurrection\, traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide. Additional customs that have become associated with Easter and are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians include egg hunting\, the Easter Bunny\, and Easter parades. There are also various traditionalEaster foods that vary regionally.

SUMMARY:National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day in the USA 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day is observed annually on April 9. \nThis day was introduced to honor American veterans of any wars that returned home after being released from prisons. The date of April 9 was chosen to commemorate the same day in 1942\, when United States forces were surrendered by the Imperial Japanese Army on the Bataan Peninsula\, beginning the Bataan Death March. All survivors were loaded to a box train and brought to the Camp O’Donnell. During the march prisoners were physically abused that caused their death. \nThe actions of Japanese Army were later judged to be a Japanese war crime. National Former POW Recognition Day had been observed from 1942 to 1976 on national level\, but later only some states held commemorative services. Memorial marches took place at New Mexico and Minnesota\, memorial service was held at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii. Due to the President Barack Obama’s initiatives\, and continuation by President Trump\, this day is observed on federal level.

SUMMARY:Good Friday 2023
DESCRIPTION:Good Friday is a Christian religious holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday\, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover. It is also known as Holy Friday\, Great Friday\, Black Friday\, or Easter Friday\, though the last term properly refers to the Friday in Easter week. \nGood Friday is a widely-instituted legal holiday in many national governments around the world\, including in most Western countries(especially among Anglican and Catholic nations) as well as in 12 U.S. states. Some governments\, such as Germany\, have laws prohibiting certain acts\, such as dancing and horse racing\, that are seen as profaning the solemn nature of the day

SUMMARY:World Health Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Health Day’s message is simple: giving people access to healthcare without the prospect of financial hardship. This is regardless of where they’re from; they could be in Africa\, Asia\, South America or the United States. What matters to the World Health Organisation (WHO)\, the group behind it\, is that there’s Health for All. \nIt has its reasons\, too. The WHO asserts\, following countless studies\, that countries which invest in universal healthcare will make a sound investment in their human capital; indeed\, access to a very bottom line of care and financial protection will not only truly improve someone’s health and life expectancy\, but also protects countries from epidemics\, reduces poverty and the risk of hunger\, creates jobs\, drives economic growth and enhances gender equality. \nThat’s quite the ideal to push towards\, and a day that ought to be celebrated as much as any other on our calendar!

SUMMARY:Education and Sharing Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is Education and Sharing Day 2019 and when is it?\nFounded by President Jimmy Carter in 1978\, Education and Sharing Day 2023 is on April 12th\, and is an annual USA day of observance. \nEducation and Sharing Day was founded in honour of\, and on the 80th Birthday of\, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson\, commonly known as ‘The Rebbe’\, who was considered to be one of the greatest 20th Century spiritual leaders. \nEducation and Sharing Day falls on the 11th of the Jewish month of Nissan each year\, and as the Jewish and Gregorian Calendars are different and don’t synchronize\, the date of Education and Sharing Day on the Western Calendar is different each year\, but it is usually during March or April. \nEducation and Sharing Day honours the Rabbi’s commitment to improving Judaism and mankind through culture and education\, especially by founding centres for culture\, education and socialisation for young Jewish people. These centres are known as Chabad Houses\, and are mainly located on or near university campuses. Chabad houses are still going strong and providing community and culture for Jewish Students. \nBut Shneerson’s work wasn’t limited to Jewish youth\, he made a significant contribution to the education and betterment of the population in general. And that is also honoured on Education and Sharing Day. \nEducation and Sharing Day is marked by events and parades\, some parades are quite big and well known\, for example the parade in Crown Heights\, Brooklyn\, New York\, which is run by Tzivos Hashem (Jewish Child International).

SUMMARY:International Children's Book Day 2023

SUMMARY:World Bipolar Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Each year World Bipolar Day takes place on March 30 and this year members of the public across the globe are being encouraged to use social media to help disseminate information and get the event’s hashtags trending on social media. \nWorld Bipolar Day is designed to raise awareness worldwide of bipolar conditions and to work to eliminate social stigma whilst providing information to educate and help people understand the condition. \nBipolar disorder affects a person’s mood\, which can swing from one extreme to the other\, with someone suffering from the disorder having episodes of depression or mania. People living with bipolar disorder\, also known as manic-depressive illness\, tend to have their lives significantly disrupted as it can impact on a person’s ability to function. There are however several medications that can help to treat it. \nThe awareness day is an initiative organised by the International Bipolar Foundation in partnership with the Asian Network of Bipolar Disorder and the International Society for Bipolar Disorders. \nFor those using social media to post videos and photographs to help raise awareness of bipolar disorder\, you are encouraged to use the hashtags #WorldBipolarDay and #BipolarStrong whilst tagging @intlbipolar on Twitter and Instagram and @InternationalBipolarFoundation on Facebook.

SUMMARY:National Vietnam War Veterans Day in the USA 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Vietnam War Veterans Day is celebrated on March 29th in the US and was recently made a recognized annual holiday in 2017 when it was signed into law by President Trump. March 29th is the day that the last of the troops were withdrawn in 1973. \nThis is a separate holiday from Veterans Day which is celebrated on November 11th\, that marks the end of the First World War. \nThe war originally started as a civil war between North Vietnam and the South Vietnam Government. The North Vietnamese Army was supported by communist allies such as the Soviet Union and China and the South Vietnamese Army was supported by anti – communist Allies such as the US\, Australia and South Korea. \nCitizens are encouraged to fly the US flag in honor of those who served in the Vietnam war as a way to thank the veterans and all those who made sacrifices during one of the longest wars in US history lasting almost 20 years. \nSome may wonder why it took 44 years for the troops to be celebrated\, but due to the huge number of casualties and domestic controversy a large part of the US population became opposed to the war.

SUMMARY:Purple Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Originating in Canada\, Purple Day was invented by the incredible Cassidy Megan\, a young girl who created the initiative in 2008 after getting motivated by the struggles she had with epilepsy. It’s a simple affair: you’re encouraged to wear purple and raise awareness for the cause! \nOriginally\, the initiative started out on a small level; Cassidy’s idea was picked up\, and then supported\, by the Epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia in 2008. Since then\, it has taken on a whole new level\, and in the UK alone\, it’s backed by no fewer than eight charities. \nPurple Day – international epilepsy day – returns on Thursday 26 March 2023. \nDid you know that 87 people are diagnosed with epilepsy every day? \nEpilepsy can affect anyone\, anytime\, anyplace and can change lives in a moment. \nTo help raise funds and awareness tell us what your purple moment will be this Purple Day. It could be a purple cake bake\, purple plod\, purple plunge\, purple dress down\, purple hair day or turn your school\, town or office purple. \nDownload your FREE fundraising pack today. For more ideas and fundraising materials including balloons\, banners and t-shirts email fundraising@youngepilepsy.org.uk today or call 01342 831245.

SUMMARY:National Skipping Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Skipping Day will take place on Friday 24th March 2023 this year and is organised by Skipping Workshops. \nOver the years we have received a great deal of feedback from schools and it seems that participating schools fall into two groups: the first are those schools who promote playground skipping on a regular basis throughout the school year and see NSD as a means of celebrating this commitment . By contrast\, some schools don’t promote skipping throughout the school year but are happy to take part in NSD as a ‘one-off’ celebration of healthy exercise through skipping. The 2023 event is definitely of more interest to the first group (although we hope all schools will consider taking part.) \nFor schools taking part in the 2023 NSD we have developed a graded scheme of skills\, starting with challenges for Nursery and YR children moving forward to skills for children in Y5 & Y6 who have shown a commitment to developing skipping skills. There are 6 levels in all\, starting with ‘basic’ (for the youngest children) moving through to Level 5. For those children who complete the tasks in each level we have a certificate which we hope schools will present to those children who qualify. For each level we will send participating schools detailed staff notes to explain the various challenges. \nIf you register for NSD 2023 we will send you details of the skills involved in the basic level as well as Levels 1 & 2 plus a copy of the different certificates for each level. \nIf you feel able to host an all-day-skip visit from Skipping Workshops between now and the end of the academic year Book a visit with us and you will also receive a free set of double dutch ropes and a 7m long rope for your school.

SUMMARY:International Day of Forests 2023
DESCRIPTION:Forests are part of your life in more ways than you realize \nWhen we drink a glass of water\, write in a notebook\, take medicine for a fever or build a house\, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet\, these and many other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another. Forests\, their sustainable management and use of resources\, including in fragile ecosystems\, are key to combating climate change\, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nForests and Education – Learn to Love Forests \nEvery 21 March the United Nations raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. This year the International Day of Forests promotes education to Learn to Love Forests. It underscores the importance of education at all levels in achieving sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation. Healthy forests mean healthy\, resilient communities and prosperous economies.

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox (First Day of Spring) 2023
DESCRIPTION:This year in the northern hemisphere the Spring or Vernal Equinox falls on the 20th March. The equinox marks the day when day and night are the same lengths all over the world\, with the word equinox literally meaning equal night‚in Latin. \nThe spring equinox marks the change of the seasons and as the northern hemisphere begins to tilt towards the sun\, our days start to get longer and our nights shorter. In the northern hemisphere\, we enjoy the arrival of spring and the promise of warmer days. To our friends in the southern hemisphere\, however\, this marks the changing of their seasons to autumn. \nThe equinox does not always fall on the same day each year due to the fact that the earth orbits the sun on a slightly elliptical path\, meaning that the spring equinox can happen on either the 19th\, 20th or 21st of March. Although many cultures celebrate the whole day as the equinox\, the equinox is\, in fact\, technically the specific point in time when the sun crosses the equator. \nIn the northern hemisphere\, the March equinox is traditionally celebrated as a time of rebirth with many different cultures celebrating spring holidays and festivals such as Easter and Passover around the time of the equinox.

SUMMARY:National Native AIDS Awareness Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:March 20th is National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day\, where we pay particular focus to raising awareness\, overcoming stigmas and encouraging testing for HIV and Aids in Native communities in the United States. This presents opportunities for Native Americans\, Alaskans and Hawaiians to learn more about HIV/AIDS and to promote testing and counselling where necessary. \nThe day appropriately coincides with the spring equinox\, celebrated in many Native communities as a symbol of new beginnings. It was chosen specifically for this reason as it is an opportunity for positive change through awareness and prevention. \nThis institution was started in 2007 by HIV.gov to promote awareness and provide resources to Native communities after several studies identified them to be a high risk group in need of assistance. Risks of HIV in these communities can be heightened by a general lack of health care provisions and mental health assistance\, as well as societal stigmas surrounding homosexuality\, high rates of alcohol and drug use and general misinformation. This has led to estimates of up to a quarter of cases of Native people who are infected with HIV or AIDS being unaware that they have it. \nThere are various ways to participate in observing NNHAAD\, including visiting HIV.gov or other educational resources to learn more on the subject\, getting a routine test for HIV\, sharing information about HIV and AIDS prevention\, or raising money by supporting or organising an event to spread awareness.

SUMMARY:St Patricks Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is St. Patrick’s Day?\nSt. Patrick’s Day is a cultural and religious celebration that honors the patron saint of Ireland\, St. Patrick. The day is widely celebrated in Ireland and by Irish communities around the world. It is a day to celebrate Irish heritage and culture\, and is known for its festivities\, parades\, and green-themed events. \nWhen is St. Patrick’s Day?\nSt. Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17th. In 2023\, the event will fall on a Friday\, providing the perfect opportunity to kick off the weekend with some Irish-inspired celebrations. \nHow to get involved\nHere are some ways to get involved in St. Patrick’s Day celebrations: \n\nAttend a parade: Many cities around the world host St. Patrick’s Day parades\, featuring colorful floats\, marching bands\, and performances by Irish dancers. Check your local events calendar to see if there is a parade in your area.\nDress up in green: On St. Patrick’s Day\, it’s traditional to wear green clothing or accessories\, which represents the lush green landscape of Ireland. Whether you wear a green shirt or a full leprechaun costume\, getting into the spirit of the day is a fun way to celebrate.\nEnjoy Irish food and drink: St. Patrick’s Day is a great opportunity to indulge in some classic Irish dishes\, such as corned beef and cabbage\, Irish stew\, and soda bread. Don’t forget to wash it down with a pint of Guinness or a glass of Irish whiskey.\nListen to Irish music: From traditional folk songs to modern pop hits\, Irish music is a key part of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Tune into a local radio station or create your own Irish-themed playlist to get in the mood.\nLearn about Irish culture: St. Patrick’s Day is a great opportunity to learn more about Irish history\, culture\, and traditions.

By getting involved in local events\, dressing up in green\, and enjoying some Irish food and drink\, you can join in the festivities and experience the magic of the Emerald Isle. \nHistory of St. Patrick’s Day\nSt. Patrick’s Day has its roots in the early days of Christianity in Ireland\, and it is named after St. Patrick\, the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick was a Christian missionary who lived in the 5th century and is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. He is also associated with driving the snakes out of Ireland\, although this is likely a metaphor for his work in converting the Irish people to Christianity. \nSt. Patrick’s Day was originally a religious holiday that was celebrated in Ireland as a day of feast and remembrance for St. Patrick. It was first made an official public holiday in Ireland in 1903\, and the day was marked by religious services and family gatherings. \nOver time\, St. Patrick’s Day became a more secular holiday\, and it spread beyond Ireland to become a global celebration of Irish culture and heritage. In the United States\, the first St. Patrick’s Day parade was held in New York City in 1762\, and today\, the holiday is celebrated with parades\, green-themed events\, and festivities in cities around the world. \nIn Ireland\, St. Patrick’s Day is still celebrated as a public holiday\, with parades and other events taking place in cities and towns across the country. The holiday has also become a major tourist attraction\, with visitors flocking to Ireland to experience the celebrations and learn about Irish culture and history. \nToday\, St. Patrick’s Day is a day to celebrate all things Irish\, from traditional music and dance to food and drink. It is a day to honor the contributions of Irish immigrants to communities around the world and to showcase the unique and vibrant culture of Ireland.

SUMMARY:Young Carers Action Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Each year Carers Trust organises Young Carers Awareness Day. \nThe purpose of the day is to raise public awareness of the challenges faced by young people because of their caring role\, and to campaign for greater support for young carers and their needs. \nWhen Carers Trust set up Young Carers Awareness Day our intention was to make the public much more aware of young carers – who they are\, what they do\, the very real challenges they face\, and why they need support. \nAnd over the years\, we’ve had some great successes\, using the media and social media to really shine a spotlight on young carers. \nBut as Young Carers Awareness Day has got bigger each year\, we’ve also realised there are things we can do to make it better. And many young carers themselves have told us how they think the day could be improved. \nWe wanted to use that feedback from young carers and people working with young carers to make the day even better. So this year we are making some changes based on the feedback we have received. These changes are explained below. \nWe hope you agree these will make the day even better in 2023\, and help create real change for young carers and the support they receive! \nWe are changing the name! \nOne of the things we are always hearing from young carers is that what they want is support\, not sympathy. \nThis got us thinking. Yes\, it’s great to raise public awareness of young carers and what they do. But we need to do more than just encourage public sympathy for young carers and everything they have to do at home. We need to use the day to get people to take action to support young carers. \nSo from 2021 onwards\, the name has been changed to Young Carers Action Day. \nWe will be working with a group of young carers to ensure Young Carers Action Day 2023 features activities that will encourage real action and drive positive change for young carers. \nYoung Carers Action Day 2023 will take place on 15 March 2023. \nWe are including young adult carers \nUntil now\, the day has been for young carers up to the age of 18. \nBut one of the things our recent survey of young carers and young adult carers showed us is that young people aged 18 to 25 are experiencing many of the same challenges as younger carers. \nYoung adult carers need support too as they continue to balance their caring role with the difficult transition into early adulthood. So we will be planning activities and media coverage for this really important group of carers too! \nAnd we are working with young carers and young adult carers to plan Young Carers Action Day 2023 \nCarers Trust has set up a working group including young carers and young adult carers that is working actively to plan activities and media coverage for Young Carers Action Day 2023. With young carers at the heart of planning\, we will ensure that Young Carers Action Day 2023 delivers activities most likely to create positive change for young carers that addresses their needs. \nGot a question? \nWe realise that these are fairly significant changes and you may have questions. If there is something you’d like to ask\, or raise\, we’d love to hear from you! \nPlease feel free to get in touch with Vicky Morgan\, Head of Young Carers and Young Adult Carers. \nMedia enquiry? \nContact the Press team

SUMMARY:Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, 1 in 5 children has a learning difference. According to the UK Department of Education\, 15% of students in the United Kingdom have a learning difference (a statistic that is likely to be overly conservative). Yet\, most classroom teachers and school staff have no training on how to identify\, understand and support students with learning and thinking differences. Instead of investing in providing early intervention and support services for students with special educational needs (SEN)\, years of severe funding cuts to education have decimated support services for neurodivergent students. For example\, in parts of the UK\, there are waiting times of up to 14 months for an initial autism assessment appointment.  Furthermore\, there is still a significant societal stigma and many misconceptions about learning and thinking differences that also create barriers for SEN students to have equal access to education. \n​How do societal stigma and general misconceptions about neurological differences make it harder for students to get the support they need? \n​ \n\n\n33% of classroom teachers and other educators believe learning and thinking challenges are sometimes an excuse for laziness. \n\n\n​ \n\n\n43% of parents say they wouldn’t want others to know if their child has a neurological difference. \n\n\n​ \n\n\n48% of parents believe incorrectly that kids grow out of learning differences. \n\n\n​ \n\n\n76% of neurodivergent university students say they didn’t disclose their disability to their university. \n\n\n​ \nThe lack of teacher training and SEN support services\, as well as the stigma and entrenched misconceptions about learning differences\, have culminated in a perfect storm that has left neurodivergent students adrift. It will not come as a surprise that most neuordivergent students have negative school experiences. Like millions of neurodivergent students\, I know what it feels like to be frustrated\, embarrassed\, and humiliated at school. I also know what it feels like to have some teachers and classmates assume you are not intelligent and to have them underestimate and write you off. At school\, we are constantly reminded of our difficulties and challenges. In the classroom\, our learning differences are exposed for everyone to see and the greatest importance is given to the skills we struggle with the most or can’t do. This can be very discouraging and demoralizing. \nAt school\, we are often made to feel like failures. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Together\, we can change the narrative. Instead of focusing only on the drawbacks of being neurodivergent\, it’s time to also acknowledge and recognize the many strengths and talents that come from thinking and perceiving the world differently. By celebrating the strengths of neurodivergent students\, we can begin the seismic shift of changing the way SEN students are perceived and treated\, including how neurodivergent students feel about themselves. \nTo empower neurodivergent students to achieve their potential\, schools need to recognize and celebrate our many strengths and talents that may not be showcased in the traditional classroom environment\, such as our creativity\, innovation\, ability to think outside-the-box\, problem-solving skills\, unique insights\, and perspectives\, as well as our perseverance and resilience. \nWe are the dreamers. \nThe pioneers. \nThe change-makers. \nThe future business leaders. \nWe are the trailblazers. \nThe adventurers. \nThe discoverers. \nWe are the Einsteins and Bransons of tomorrow. \nThe struggling SEN students of today will become the entrepreneurs and revolutionaries of tomorrow. We will join the visionaries who have transformed the world we live in. We will be the next Steve Jobs\, Bill Gates\, John F Kennedy\, John Lennon\, Pablo Picasso\, Steven Speilberg\, Tommy Hilfiger\, Satoshi Tajiri\, Agatha Christie\, Henry Ford\, Billie Eilish\, Temple Grandin\, and Andy Warhol of tomorrow. Yet\, our ability to fulfil our potential is being threatened by the stigma associated with having a special educational need and the misconceptions many people still have about autistic people and people with learning differences.  We are also more vulnerable to being mistreated. In a 2017 bullying report by Ditch the Label\, 75% of autistic students and 70% of students with learning differences reported being bullied at school. \nIt is time to create a more inclusive educational landscape so that SEN students have equal access to education. But in order to bring about this change\, we need your help. Please support your neurodivergent students by registering to take part in Neurodiversity Celebration Week. Join the other 1\,600 schools and over 1 million students from around the world that are taking part in ensuring that the strengths and talents of neurodivergent students are seen and celebrated.

SUMMARY:International Women's Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is International Women’s Day?\nInternational Women’s Day is a global event that celebrates the social\, economic\, cultural\, and political achievements of women. It is also a day to highlight the ongoing struggle for gender equality and women’s rights around the world. \nWhen is International Women’s Day?\nInternational Women’s Day is celebrated annually on March 8th. \nThe history of the event\nInternational Women’s Day has a long and rich history that dates back to the early 1900s. In 1908\, 15\,000 women marched through the streets of New York City\, demanding better working conditions\, voting rights\, and an end to discrimination. This event inspired the first National Woman’s Day in the United States\, which was celebrated on February 28th\, 1909. \nThe idea of an international women’s day was proposed at the second International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen in 1910. Clara Zetkin\, a German socialist\, suggested the idea as a way to promote equal rights and suffrage for women worldwide. The proposal was unanimously accepted\, and the first International Women’s Day was celebrated the following year\, on March 19th\, 1911. \nSince then\, International Women’s Day has grown in significance and is now celebrated around the world. The day has become an important platform for women’s rights advocacy\, with campaigns and events focusing on issues such as violence against women\, access to education and healthcare\, equal pay\, and women’s representation in politics and leadership roles. \nJoin us on March 8th\, 2023\, as we celebrate the achievements of women and continue the fight for gender equality and women’s rights.

SUMMARY:Dyscalculia Awareness Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is Dyscalculia Day?\nDyscalculia is a maths learning difficulty which affects around 6% of the UK population. While dyscalculia affects people in different ways\, common traits can include recognising numbers\, connecting value with number\, estimation\, learning number sequences\, difficulty with arithmetic skills\, reading analogue clocks\, and\, as dyscalculics get older\, remembering and using PIN numbers\, planning journeys\, and managing time. \nDyscalculia Day is a unique opportunity to raise awareness of this often overlooked but prevalent learning difficulty\, as well as a chance to talk about maths difficulties and anxieties more broadly. It is also an opportunity to reach out to maths teachers and maths learning difficulty specialists to share techniques and best practices to support dyscalculic and maths anxious children and adults. This is especially important as current research suggests that a person is 100 times less likely to be diagnosed and given support for dyscalculia than dyslexia! \nDyscalculia Day is the initiative of The Dyscalculia Network and supported by The Dyscalculia Academy. The Dyscalculia Network is a Community Interest Company (not for profit) founded in 2019 by Cat Eadle and Rob Jennings\, who realised that there wasn’t enough support for teachers\, students\, parents and adults with Dyscalculia and Maths Difficulties. They passionately believe that\nthere should be greater awareness of the challenges many people face with numeracy. \nWhen is Dyscalculia Day 2023?\nDyscalculia Day 2023 will take place on the 3rd March. \nHow can I get involved in Dyscalculia Day 2023?\n\nJoin our Educator Dyscalculia Day Conference here\, with world leading Dyscalculia experts; Steve\nChinn and Mahesh Sharma\, Jane Emerson\, Judy Hornigold\, Pete Jarrett\, and Kinga Morsanyi\nwho will be presenting webinars\, based on their years of research and experience\, on some\nof the key features of Dyscalculia/ Maths Difficulties.\nJoin our Parent Dyscalculia Day Conference here\, with webinars from the UK’s leading dyscalculia\nspecialist assessors and teachers including Katie Nelson (Dyscalculia Academy).\nJoin our Special adult-focused webinar where a number of Dyscalculic adults\, including Peter Cherry\, Emily Gee and Sylvie Nachilyango\, share their experiences and strategies for living\, coping and succeeding with dyscalculia.\nJoin our live stream social media throughout the day – including ‘A Day in the Life of a Dyscalculic’ series\, top tips for adults with dyscalculia\, competitions and more.\n\nDyscalculia/ Maths Difficulties Q&A Webinar session with Cat Eadle and Rob Jennings (the co-founders of the Dyscalculia Network) – Free to join!

SUMMARY:National Old Stuff Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Old Stuff Day is observed annually on March 2nd and is all about getting rid of the old and trying something new. \nThe obvious old things we can start with tend to be clutter and old unused things around the house\, maybe it’s time to spring clean your wardrobe and get all those bits you haven’t worn in a long time over to charity? But if you’re a bit of a hoarder and the idea of separating yourself from any of your things “in case it comes in handy” don’t worry\, it can be as simple as ditching your old route to work for a new one. Trying a new type of food. Trying a new way of doing something or you could even try and make something new of somebody else’s old stuff and get yourself to a vintage store or charity shop. \nHowever you choose to celebrate National Old Stuff Day we hope it makes your day a little bit different from the same old.

SUMMARY:Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:When a woman is diagnosed at the earliest stage\, her chance of surviving ovarian cancer for five years or more doubles from just 46 per cent to more than 90 per cent. \nHowever\, nearly half of GPs mistakenly believe symptoms only present in the later stages of the disease\, and less than a third of women in the UK are confident they know the symptoms. \nThis year\, tens of thousands of symptoms leaflets were read\, thousands of cakes were baked\, hundreds of outlandish outfits worn and more teapots brewed than we could count all with one aim in mind to get more women diagnosed at the earliest stage. Your fundraising means we will be able to do more to improve early diagnosis\, fund more life-saving research and provide much-needed support.

SUMMARY:Walk All Over Cancer 2023
DESCRIPTION:Walk All Over Cancer is a fundraising and activity challenge that occurs annually every March in aid of the charity Cancer Research UK. Participants are challenged to a sponsored walk of 10\,000 steps every day during the month\, and all proceeds from the fundraising are donated to the charity. \nCancer Research UK funds research into cancer treatment and prevention across the world\, working to develop new cancer drugs and provide the latest cancer information about cancer treatment and prevention to both health professionals and the public. \nParticipants can share details of their progress using the hashtag #walkallovercancer and walks can be either solo or walkers can challenge their friends and family to join them\, or even take part with local walking groups. The NHS recommends 10\,000 steps per day for optimum health\, however with increasingly sedentary lives\, many people do not reach this amount\, and so the challenge is an opportunity to improve your own health as well as raise money for a good cause. By taking 10\,000 steps per day\, walkers will achieve 150 miles by the end of the month. \nAnybody interested in getting involved in Walk All Over Cancer will find further resources including free printable materials and information on fundraising and tracking steps at www.cancerresearchuk.org.

SUMMARY:St David's Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:March kicks off in style with St David’s Day\, when Welsh people across the world but mainly in Wales\, naturally celebrate their fantastic heritage under the banner of their national saint. David’s greatest miracle was creating a hill under his feet where he spoke about God\, though otherwise\, he was quite a humble man\, to the point where he advocated that monks pulled the plough (and not cows)\, and only had bread and water as part of their diet. \nSo sure\, St David might not be seen in the same party atmosphere as St Patrick\, who somewhat steals his thunder with his own day later in the month\, but Glastonbury Abbey yes\, in that Glastonbury was founded by St David. But before you decide that the saint-based party night of the year ought to be moved out of fairness and respect\, St David refrained from drinking beer

SUMMARY:Fairtrade Fortnight 2023
DESCRIPTION:27 February to 12 March 2023 \nInformation about Fairtrade Fortnight 2023 will be coming soon. Sign up to emails to stay up to date. \nWHAT IS FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT \nFor two weeks each year at the end of February and start of March\, thousands of individuals\, companies and groups across the UK come together to share the stories of the people who grow our food and drinks and who grow the cotton in our clothes\, people who are often exploited and underpaid. \nIn 2019\, we launched our campaign calling on U.K. Government and companies to ensure cocoa farmers earn living incomes by 2030\, in line with the UN’s Global Goals to end poverty. During Fairtrade Fortnight 2020 we continued our campaign to raise awareness of the struggles of cocoa farming and to demand living incomes for cocoa farmers. \nA living income means enough money to live a simple but dignified life\, paying for essentials such as clothing\, medicine and school. We believe this is not a luxury but a human right. \nRead more about our Fight for Living Incomes campaign \nOnly Fairtrade is campaigning publicly for the right to a living income for farmers – men and women. Only Fairtrade Standards cover: \nPrice: The Fairtrade Premium and the Fairtrade Minimum Price are driving real change\, right now. The Fairtrade Minimum Price provides a safety net that protects farmers from low prices for their crops. \nPremium: Fairtrade farmers and workers choose how they spend the Fairtrade Premium\, which they can use to make their farms and communities stronger. It also allows them to invest in different ways of making money\, so that they are less reliant on the unpredictable cocoa market. Read more about the Fairtrade Premium \nWomen’s empowerment: Fairtrade is also supporting more women cocoa farmers to take the reins and stand tall alongside men. Fairtrade Standards make sure that they have a voice in their community\, are represented in decision-making and benefit from Fairtrade. We know that independent income in the hands of women brings positive change to communities even faster. \nEnvironment: While you can’t protect the planet without protecting its people first\, rigorous Fairtrade Standards support farmers to protect the environment and the Fairtrade Premium is enabling them to invest in climate resilience and adaptation. \nIn late 2019\, we travelled back to West Africa\, to meet some truly inspiring women who want their stories to be heard. This Fortnight we need your help to share their stories and show people in the UK why we need them to choose Fairtrade. \nGET INVOLVED \nDetails about Fairtrade Fortnight 2021 will be coming soon. In the meantime\, there are several ways to get involved with our campaign for living incomes: \n1. Sign up to emails to stay in touch and receive updates from Fairtrade \n2.

SUMMARY:Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is Eating disorders Awareness Week?\nEating Disorders Awareness Week is an international awareness event\, fighting the myths and misunderstandings that surround anorexia\, bulimia\, binge eating disorder and EDNOS. \nEating disorders are devastating mental illnesses that affect 1 in 50 people in the UK. \nRecovery is possible\, but we rely on our GPs to spot early warning signs that may have nothing to do with a person’s weight or appearance. Their role is crucial and their responsibility is huge\, but the average GP receives less than 2 hours of training on eating disorders throughout their entire medical degree\, which is just not good enough! This means that so often\, people with eating disorders don’t get the help they need because GPs just don’t have the right training to diagnose them. \nBeat are fighting for better access to treatment for people with eating disorders. They have developed clear and comprehensive courses for medical students\, which some schools have started to teach. The aim is to provide GPs with the proper training so that they can match the seriousness of these conditions and give people with eating disorders the best possible care. \nThis year Beat are focusing on highlighting their training program to help GPs make the right referrals for people with eating disorders. But their services are still there for those who need them right now. This EDAW Beat are asking for your help to be Bright and Bold so that they can make sure no one faces an eating disorder alone. \nWhen is Eating Disorders Awareness Week?\nEDAW 23 takes place from the 27th February and will run until the 5th March. \nHow to get involved in Eating Disorders Awareness Week.\nTo get involved in EDAW 23 Beat are asking you to: \nSpeak up \nWe’re asking supporters to share their own GP experiences to highlight the difference knowledge\, understanding and compassion can make! \nStep Up \nOur supporters’ fundraising activities and generous donations will amplify our campaign! \nSkill Up \nWe’re asking supporters to share our campaign for change – with the tools and the time to understand eating disorders\, our future GPs will be better equipped! \nFor more information visit Beat here or follow the campaign on social media using the hashtag #EDAW2023

SUMMARY:Tell a Fairy Tale Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Tell a Fairy Tale Day is an informal observance held on February 26. It provides a perfect opportunity to read fairy tales to your kinds and enjoy your favorite childhood tales yourself. \nA fairy tale is a short story that typically features fantasy characters and magic. Fairy tales usually take place once upon a time and have a happy ending: evil characters are punished and good characters live happily ever after. \nFairy tale collections are usually the first books read by children (not counting alphabet books\, of course). But children are introduced to fairy tales much earlier than they start to read\, because fairy tales are the most common type of bedtime story. \nEven if you don’t have children or your kids are not around\, you should not miss the opportunity to reacquaint yourself with fairy tales. It’s perfectly okay to read fairy tale books alone. Make a cup of hot chocolate\, curl up in a chair and immerse yourself in the world of princes and princesses\, evil witches and beautiful fairies\, dragons and unicorns\, talking animals and magical plants.

SUMMARY:Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Shrove Tuesday (known in some countries as Pancake Tuesday) is a day in February or March preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent)\, which is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes. In others\, especially those (including Louisiana) where it is called Mardi Gras or some translation thereof\, this is a carnival day\, and also the last day of fat eating or gorging before the fasting period of Lent. \nThis moveable festival is determined by Easter. The expression Shrove Tuesday comes from the word shrive\, meaning absolve. Shrove Tuesday is observed by many Christians\, including Anglicans\, Lutherans\,Methodists and Roman Catholics\,who make a special point of self-examination\, of considering what wrongs they need to repent\, and what amendments of life or areas of spiritual growth they especially need to ask God’s help in dealing with. \nBeing the last day before the penitential season of Lent\, related popular practices\, such as indulging in food that one sacrifices for the upcoming forty days\, are associated with Shrove Tuesday celebrations\, before commencing the fasting and religious obligations associated with Lent. The term Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday\, referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer\, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of theLenten season\, which begins on Ash Wednesday

SUMMARY:Susan B. Anthony Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Susan B. Anthony Day is observed annually on February 15 in the USA. This day commemorates the birth of Susan Brownell Anthony\, an American social reformer who played a leading role in women’s suffrage movement as well as a vigorous opponent of slavery. \nSusan Brownell Anthony was born on February 15\, 1820 to a Quaker family. Inspired and driven from a young age\, she started to collect anti-slavery petitions when she was 17. By the time she was the age of 36 she became the New York State agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society. Women’s suffrage began in the 1840s\, when it emerged from the movement for women’s rights. The first two national suffrage organizations were established in 1869. One of the organizations was led by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The leader of the other organization was Lucy Stone. In 1890\, after years of rivalry the two companies merged as National American Woman Suffrage Association and Anthony became its leader. \nSusan B. Anthony was an established politician in a time when very few women had a voice at all\, becoming one the United States most senior political figures. Fighting inequality became her primary focus and she worked tirelessly to change the vision for the county and in the process defined history. The legacy of her lifes’ work lives on and perhaps the vision she fought for and the message she spread is even more paramount in today’s society. \nHowever\, despite the historic importance of her work\, Susan B. Anthony Day is not celebrated on national level. It is a state holiday only in some states of America: Wisconsin\, Florida\, West Virginia\, California and New York. Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York introduced the act to honor birthday of Susan B. Anthony as a national holiday on the third Monday in February\, but the bill was not enacted.

SUMMARY:International Day of Women and girls in science 2023
DESCRIPTION:Science and gender equality are both vital for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals\, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Over the past 15 years\, the global community has made a lot of effort in inspiring and engaging women and girls in science. Yet women and girls continue to be excluded from participating fully in science. \nAt present\, less than 30 per cent of researchers worldwide are women. According to UNESCO data (2014 – 2016)\, only around 30 per cent of all female students select STEM-related fields in higher education. Globally\, female students‚enrolment is particularly low in ICT (3 per cent)\, natural science\, mathematics and statistics (5 per cent) and in engineering\, manufacturing and construction (8 per cent). \nLong-standing biases and gender stereotypes are steering girls and women away from science related fields. As in the real world\, the world on screen reflects similar biases‚the 2015 Gender Bias Without Borders study by the Geena Davis Institute showed that of the onscreen characters with an identifiable STEM job\, only 12 per cent were women. \nIn order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls\, and further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls\, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/70/212 declaring 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. \nMore about the Day on UN Women’s website.

SUMMARY:National Apprenticeship Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:The 16th annual National Apprenticeship Week date has been announced today – and will take place from 6 to 12 February 2023. \nNational Apprenticeship Week is an annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships across England and is a time to recognise and applaud apprenticeship success stories across the country. \nApprenticeship employers use the opportunity to promote the success of their apprentices and highlight the huge benefits to other employers\, of all sizes\, who are thinking of taking on an apprentice. \nApprentices across the country will also be celebrated throughout the week\, with engagement and events in schools and colleges. Many current and former apprentices will go back to school to tell their story\, attracting the next generation of apprentices\, so they too can fire up their future career. \nThroughout the 16 years\, National Apprenticeship Week has brought together apprenticeship supporters from across the country\, with MPs\, ambassadors\, apprentices\, training providers and top employers involved in recognising the value and importance of apprenticeships. \nFor NAW2023 we want even more people to get behind the week\, to build on last year’s success\, which included: \nOver 1250 events taking place across England; \nNAW2022\, National Apprenticeship Week and #BlazeATrail all trending UK wide on Twitter over the course of the Week; \nOver 30\,000 unique visits to the NAW resource pages on GOV.UK; \nAnd a hugely successful #askanapprentice day with employers\, including TUI\, Bentley Careers\, Siemens UK\, AXA Insurance and Cisco all getting involved. \nAnne Milton\, Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills said: \n“Apprenticeships offer people of all ages and backgrounds a high-quality route to skilled employment with the option to train at every level in a range of exciting professions like aerospace engineering\, data science\, teaching\, law\, nursing\, and fashion. \n“This year we had over 1250 events and 1900 articles and features in publications from the Financial Times to Cosmopolitan. I would encourage employers\, training providers\, schools\, apprentices and our ambassador networks to start considering how they will get involved in National Apprenticeship Week 2023. We want next year to be even bigger and better reaching even more people and employers so they understand the advantages apprenticeships bring”.

SUMMARY:National HIV Testing Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:National HIV Testing Week is a campaign to promote regular testing among the most-affected population groups in England. \nRegular testing helps to reduce the number of people living with undiagnosed HIV and those diagnosed late. This year\, the campaign returns with the successful creative ‘Give HIV the finger: a finger-prick test is all it takes’. The campaign will encourage people to test for HIV at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. \nWe are inviting organisations to participate by running online campaign events\, providing virtually-assisted testing opportunities\, and promoting at-home HIV testing\, and prevention awareness with our support. \nWhy National HIV Testing Week is important \nThe number of people diagnosed with HIV is falling\, but there is still work to do: n 1 in 16 people with HIV are unaware they have it and spend an average of three to five years not knowing\, increasing the risk of passing HIV on to sexual partners. Late diagnosis rates are still stubbornly high – 42% of people were diagnosed late in 2019. This correlates to poorer long-term health outcomes and leads to an eightfold increased risk of death. Clinical reviews show many could have been diagnosed sooner. \nKey Campaign Messages for previous National HIV Testing Weeks \nTesting for HIV is quick and easy\, all it takes is a finger-prick test. \nPeople can live with HIV for a long time without any symptoms\, testing is the only way to know your HIV status. \nIf you have HIV\, finding out means you can start treatment\, stay healthy and avoid passing the virus onto anyone else. \nAnyone diagnosed with HIV in the UK can access free treatment and support.

SUMMARY:Schools Football Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is Schools’ Football Week?\n Let’s support even more pupils to enjoy the benefits of schools’ football \nSchools’ Football Week is an ongoing ESFA initiative designed as an opportunity for schools\, teams and clubs from across the country to embrace schools’ football and the wellbeing benefits it provides to pupils and players. It celebrates the importance of schools’ football\, competitive or otherwise\, to pupils across England and provides teachers and coaches with tools and a motivation to further discuss the benefits of schools’ football within their educational environment. \nThe 2022 SFW campaign saw us embrace the growing participation in girls’ football in schools – promoting the importance of equal access to schools’ football for both girls and boys. The campaign alone saw over 56\,000 girls benefitting from footballing opportunities across the 7th – 13th February. In this new season\, following the incredible journey of the Lionesses and continuing the trend the ESFA have seen over the last two years\, we’ve seen the highest number of girls’ entries into National Cup competitions\, with over 120 schools entering girls’ teams for the first time. We are going to continue in our pursuit to celebrate girls’ and all schools’ football in 2023. \n\nHow to get involved in School’s Football Week 2023?\n Inter-house or intra-school tournaments \nAny school can run an inter-house (or inter-form) or intra-school football tournament for boys and/or girls. This could be hosted at lunchtime\, after school or during PE lessons and yours could take any format that you wish. For example\, a group phase followed by a final\, or just a straight forward knockout competition. You could get other pupils involved by making banners to support teams or even writing supporter songs. Maybe you could host an all-girls tournament or encourage a record number of girls in your own school to take part in activity\, just like in our National Cups. \n Football formats  \nYou can choose to use whichever format of football best suits your requirements: 11-a-side\, 9-a-side\, 7-a-side\, 6-a-side\, indoor 5-a-side or even futsal if you have the facilities available. The objective of Schools’ Football Week is to get as many children playing or talking about football as possible and enjoying the game in a safe and secure environment\, regardless of their ability. Remember: children should only play in 2-year age bands in accordance with FA rules. \n Pupil activity for lunchtime…or any time \nThere are some other great examples of how you can introduce football into the school day for Schools’ Football Week 2023 – we’ve put a short list together for you below\, but maybe you have other ideas you’d like to try too – \n\nCoaching sessions for pupils\nPE warm-up sessions based on football drills\nCrossbar challenges (you could try pupils v teachers!)\nPenalty shootout games or competitions\nFreestyle football skills\n\nHow to Register for School’s Football Week 2023?\nWe have set up a link to register your school as taking part in Schools’ Football Week. In February 2022\, we registered over 142\,000 pupils taking part in activity\, plus over 57\,000 girls and over 800 schools – we hope to be able to push this even further in 2023. However big or small your participation will be\, it all counts\, it’s all valuable and it all matters. You are helping us to create something exciting and wonderful! \nClick here to register for SFW 2023 \n

SUMMARY:Time To Talk Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Too often\, people who experience a mental health problem are also expected to take the lead on talking about mental health in the wider sense. Time To Talk Day encourages everyone to talk about mental health. \nMental health problems affect one in four of us yet people are still afraid to talk about it. For people with mental health problems not being able to talk about it can be one of the worst parts of the illness. So by getting people talking about mental health we can break down stereotypes\, improve relationships\, aid recovery and take the stigma out of something that affects us all. \nSince Time To Talk Day first launched in 2014\, it has sparked millions of conversations in schools\, homes\, workplaces\, in the media and online. \nJoin the conversation – order a free resource pack today or check out the tips for talking about mental health \nConversations have the power to change lives – helping to create supportive communities where we can talk openly about mental health and feel empowered to seek help when we need it. However you start your conversation\, let us know on social media with #TimeToTalk. \nWant to keep up to date with our plans for Time To Talk Day 2023?

SUMMARY:Black History Month USA 2023
DESCRIPTION:Black History Month is recognised across the USA & Canada in February every year. \nInitially proposed in 1969 by black educators and the Black United Students at Kent State University\, formal celebration first began a year later in 1970. A mere 6 years later\, backed by President Ford\, Black History Month was celebrated across all state of the USA. President Ford stated citizens should “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history”. \nFebruary was chosen specifically to celebrate Black History Month due to a number of historic events that took place in the month. Originally coined “Negro History Week” by Carter G Woodson in 1926\, he hoped to change the content and commentary of textbooks and historical reviews which often ignored or minimised the impact and influence of black individuals. The second week in February was chosen to focus attention on this cause. Woodson chose that week specifically because it covered the birthdays of Frederick Douglass (February 14) and Abraham Lincoln (February 12). The ensuing publicity led many mayors and college campuses to recognize the week; through the years\, the increase in support allowed the occasion to stretch throughout the entire month. \nNow a hugely recognized month of celebration\, recognition and debate\, Black History Month has been adopted by countries across the world. Find out more this February and continue the discussions and celebrations. Previous Black History Month theme\, “African Americans and the Vote\,” is in honor of the centennial anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment (1920) granting women’s suffrage and the sesquicentennial of the Fifteenth Amendment (1870) giving black men the right to vote.

SUMMARY:National Children's Dental Health Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the American Dental Association in partnership with Crest and Oral B\, the month long awareness campaign aims to work with children\, caregivers\, teachers and other professionals to raise awareness of the benefits of good oral health care. \nMany of us take for granted the benefits of taking good care of our teeth however it is important that we inform children and reinforce the message regularly. \nTooth decay is the most common of chronic diseases amongst children and therefore there is obviously much more than we can do to promote good oral hygiene. \nIts hardly surprising that tooth decay is so prevalent amongst children if the daily battle to get the children in our household is anything to go by! That is why we think that this campaign is one to get involved with\, promote and learn from particularly in our children’s schools. Anything to make mornings and bedtimes run that little bit more smoothly! \nThe ADA have a vast amount of information on their website all aimed at educating and inspiring youngsters to enjoy cleaning their teeth and to help make it become a part of their daily routine. A theme is set each year with 2023’s theme due to be announced shortly.

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Why take part on Bug Busting Days? \nBecause informed\, united action stops head lice from circulating endlessly. Combing wet\, conditioned hair with a Bug Buster comb is a reliable detection method even when very few lice are present. Thoroughly wet lice stay still; dry or damp lice move quickly away from disturbance evading detection. \nBug Busting is an educational programme in reliable head louse detection. It delivers the ‘whole school approach’ (National Healthy School Standard).

DESCRIPTION:National Storytelling Week takes place in storytelling clubs\, theatres\, museums\, schools\, hospitals\, spoken word venues\, and care homes (where this event has been steadily growing each year!)

A good teller will conjure intriguingly. \nSo as with every year thus far we begin at the beginning. There was the storyteller….Once upon a time…. There will be many exciting events taking place in the run up to the BIG WEEK itself so please check it out. I hope to be updating as events come in~ Please get involved with story in your community. \nFirst and foremost is our thanks to all who take part in The Society for Storytelling’s Annual National Storytelling Week every year. Thanks must go to Kevin\, Pippa\, Martin\, Marion\, and all the Team the SfS Admin who collected and disseminated all the information coming at them about events\, venues\, times and prices. Without them and their sterling work little or none of the many entertaining hours spent by audiences would have been known about. \nTo tellers all who have given time and made with their tale a timeless memory\, our grateful thanks for the gift given – and to those who heard and listened and walked away carrying that tale with them\, my hopes go out too to share the tale they heard. \nThe Society for Storytelling can be contacted all year round\, look to the venues and events. \nRemember everyone has at least one story to tell. It exists in the very air around you – Your story is the one you know best and as it is only the beginning\, the stories you will tell might begin with…Once upon a time or not in my time\, not in your time but in someone’s time… \nEnjoy! \nNational Storytelling Week 2023 will run from January 28th to February 5th. However\, don’t forget that the four day prior to and the four day’s after those dates\, they are part are still part of the festival of storytelling too. They are equally important as they are its fringes or preferably its “Coat Tales” \nso if you have a story to tell ~tell it and if you don’t find someone to tell you their’s.

DESCRIPTION:The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) is the charity which promotes and supports Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD). 27 January is the day for everyone to remember the millions of people killed in the Holocaust\, Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia\, Rwanda\, Bosnia\, and Darfur. \n27 January marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau\, the largest Nazi death camp. \nTorn from home encouraged audiences to reflect on how the enforced loss of a safe place to call ‘home’ is part of the trauma faced by anyone experiencing persecution and genocide. ‘Home’ usually means a place of safety\, comfort and security. On previous HMD people have reflected on what happens when individuals\, families and communities are driven out of\, or wrenched from their homes\, because of persecution or the threat of genocide\, alongside the continuing difficulties survivors face as they try to find and build new homes when the genocide is over. \nPrevious HMD have included marking the 25th anniversary of the Genocide in Rwanda\, which began in April 1994 and the 40th anniversary of the end of the Genocide in Cambodia\, which ended in 1979. HMD activity organisers may particularly want to acknowledge this milestone anniversary\, and reflect on how this theme impacts on members of the Rwandan and Cambodian communities. \nDownload a copy of the full theme vision here. \nDownload the Welsh/English version of the theme vision here. \nScope of the theme \nThe meaning of home before genocide \na) What makes a home? \nb) Fleeing from home before genocide \nTorn from home during genocide \na) Forced from home \nb) Finding an alternative home \nc) Making a home a refuge \nA home after genocide \na) Returning home \nb) No home to return to \nc) An empty home \nd) Making others feel at home

SUMMARY:Australia Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Australia Day is celebrated on January 26 each year and commemorates the first landing in Australia by Captain Arthur Phillip. Although Australia Day officially takes place on the 26th January each year\, if the 26th happens to fall on a Saturday or Sunday\, celebrations actually then take place on the following Monday. \nMost Australians consider January 26 with national pride\, flying the Australian flag from businesses\, homes\, cars and even their babies. They attend festivals\, fireworks\, community and sporting events or gather for family barbecues at homes\, parks or on the beach. \nAustralia Day\, 26 January\, is the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of 11 convict ships from Great Britain\, and the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by its commander Captain Arthur Phillip\, in 1788. \nThough 26 January marks this specific event\, today Australia Day celebrations reflect contemporary Australia: the diverse society and landscape and many remarkable achievements. It also is an opportunity to reflect on Australia’s national history. \nOn Australia Day\, over half of the nation’s population of 21 million attend either an organised community event\, or get together with family and friends with the intention of celebrating this national day. Many more spend the public holiday relaxing with family and friends. \nAustralia Day is much more than barbeques and fireworks. It is more than another public holiday. It is more than the pride and excitement of new citizens who call themselves Australian for the first time on 26 January after being conferred citizenship. \nAt its core\, Australia Day is a day driven by communities\, and the celebrations held in each town\, suburb or city ‚and unified by the celebration of what is great about Australia and being Australian.

SUMMARY:Chinese New Year 2023
DESCRIPTION:Chinese New Year\, also known as the “Spring Festival” (simplified Chinese: 春节; traditional Chinese: 春節; Pinyin: Chūn Jié) in modern China\, is an important Chinese festival celebrated at the turn of the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. Celebrations traditionally run from the evening preceding the first day\, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first calendar month. The first day of the New Year falls on the new moon between 21 Jan and 20 Feb. \nAccording to the Chinese 12-year animal zodiac cycle\, the Chinese year beginning in 2023 is the year of the Rabbit. Each Chinese zodiac year begins on Chinese New Year’s Day. \nThe New Year festival is centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and customs. Traditionally\, the festival was a time to honour deities as well as ancestors. Chinese New Year is celebrated in countries and territories with significant Chinese populations\, including Mainland China\, Hong Kong\, Macau\, Singapore\, Taiwan\, Indonesia\, Malaysia\, Thailand\, Vietnam\, Cambodia\, Mauritius\, Australia\, and the Philippines. Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the lunar new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours. \nWithin China\, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely. Often\, the evening preceding Chinese New Year’s Day is an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly clean the house\, in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for incoming good luck. Windows and doors are decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “good fortune” or “happiness”\, “wealth”\, and “longevity”. Other activities include lighting firecrackers and giving money in red paper envelopes. In about one third of the Mainland population\, or 500 million Northerners\, dumplings (especially those of vegetarian fillings) feature prominently in the meals celebrating the festival.

SUMMARY:Winnie The Pooh Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:One of the cuddliest holidays around has to be Winnie the Pooh Day\, celebrated on the birthday of author A A Milne. It’s one special anniversary fans just can’t bear to miss! Every year\, the occasion is marked with events such as teddy bears’ picnics\, featuring plenty of honey on the menu. \nWinnie the Pooh first appeared on the printed page in 1926\, together with friends Piglet\, Tigger and Eeyore. All of them were based on toys owned by the author’s son\, who also featured in the famous stories as Christopher Robin. The character later starred in a series of much-loved Disney films. One extra-special way to mark the day is to visit Pooh Corner in Hartfield\, East Sussex\, where the books were written. You can pick up a map to follow in the characters’ footsteps\, and even play a game of Poohsticks on the original bridge.

SUMMARY:STIQ Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:STIQ Day has been launched to get people thinking about their sexual health and encourage more people to get regular sexual health checks. No one likes to think they’ve caught a sexually transmitted infection (STI) but without a test you just can’t be sure.\nThis year STIQ Day takes place on 14th January\, a date chosen because many common STIs such as Chlamydia can take two weeks to be detectable. If your festive season included unprotected sex then you should be thinking about getting tested now. Also with just one month to go before Valentine’s Day anyone hoping to enjoy the celebrations to the full should do so knowing that they are infection free and will not be putting someone else’s sexual health in danger. \nMore and more people in the UK are catching STIs and each year the infection rate is rising. Regardless of how old you are\, if you’re gay or straight\, if you’ve had one partner or 100 just one unprotected sexual encounter could have put you at risk of catching an STI. \nEven if you feel perfectly healthy you could still be carrying something. Often getting routinely tested is the only way that people can detect an infection and the earlier they are tested and treated\, the less chance there is of long-term damage being caused. \nGetting a sexual health check is easy and shouldn’t be embarrassing or shameful; sex is a normal part of adult life so sexual health checks should be to. It’s a quick\, simple process that not only puts your mind at rest but could protect your fertility or even save your life or that of your partner \nSo use STIQ Day to get smart about your sexual health

SUMMARY:World Braille Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Get ready\, because on January 4th it’s time to celebrate World Braille Day! I’m sure you can guess that this is a day of celebrating the innovation of braille\, but what is it\, really? \nWhat is World Braille Day all about? \nWorld Braille Day is celebrated every year on January 4th because it is Louis Braille’s birthday\, the inventor of braille! Louis was born in 1809 in France. He became blind after a childhood accident\, and he quickly mastered his new way of living. When he was just 15 years old\, he created the system we know today as braille\, based on a system of writing developed by Charles Barbier. Over the years braille was tweaked to make it easier to read\, and now it’s used the world over! \nCelebrate Braille Literacy \nWorld Braille Day is a reminder of the importance of accessibility and independence for those who are blind or visually-impaired. The reality is that many everyday establishments — restaurants\, banks\, hospitals — aren’t equipped with braille menus\, statements or bills. That means people with blindness or a vision impairment aren’t given the freedom to choose their own dinner … or to keep their finances private. \nWorld Braille Day spreads awareness about braille and other accessible forms of communication. Everyone deserves (and is legally entitled to) the same accommodations and service\, regardless of ability. On World Braille Day\, let’s remember that and do our part to make our workplaces more accessible for everyone. \nBraille literacy is also an important factor in equal opportunities for people with blindness. You can learn more about how literacy inequality affects those with a visual disability in our blog\, Inequality in Literacy for People with Visual Disabilities. \nLouis Braille didn’t get to see just how helpful his invention became. He died in 1852\, and it wasn’t until 2 years later that the school he attended as a child\, France’s Royal Institute for Blind Youth\, began teaching it to students. In 1916 it was used widely at schools for the blind in the United States. Today\, you’ll find braille on objects you use every day—signs\, ATMs\, elevators\, calculators\, and more. Rubix cubes\, watches\, legos\, and other innovations are constantly changing the way that Braille is used.

SUMMARY:National Mentoring Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a great way to start your New Year? Participate in National Mentoring Month. \nEstablished in 2002 by MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership & Harvard TH School of Public Health\, the campaign aims to raise awareness about the need for more Mentors in society as well as encouraging more people to actively become mentors to young people. The campaign celebrates the effects that mentoring young people can have on individuals and society. \nIt has 3 target goals: \nRaise awareness of mentoring in its various forms \nRecruit individuals to mentor\, especially in programs that have waiting lists of young people \nPromote the rapid growth of mentoring by recruiting organizations to engage their constituents in mentoring. \nLocal organizations are supported by leading National partners in their quest to raise awareness by arranging local events and publicity. The campaign has attracted large numbers of high profile supporters all assisting the overall aim of raising awareness and increasing mentor numbers. \nSo why mentor? \nMentoring can have a significant impact on a young person’s life\, prospects and outlook. It is a key way of ensuring that young people know that they have someone on hand that they can rely on\, provide emotional support\, educational and career guidance and generally be there to guide them. According to data\, one in three young people will grow up without a mentor. Some statistics taken from the Mentoring.org website include: \nStudents who meet regularly with their mentors are 52% less likely than their peers to skip a day of school and 37% less likely to skip a class \nYoung adults who face an opportunity gap but have a mentor are 55% more likely to be enrolled in college than those who did not have a mentor. \nIn addition to better school attendance and a better chance of going on to higher education\, mentored youth maintain better attitudes toward school \n46% less likely than their peers to start using illegal drugs and 27% less likely to start drinking. \n81% more likely to participate regularly in sports or extracurricular activities than those who do not \nA study showed that the strongest benefit from mentoring\, and most consistent across risk groups\, was a reduction in depressive symptoms ‚ particularly noteworthy given that almost one in four youth reported worrisome levels of these symptoms at baseline. \nThere are several ways to become involved with the campaign be it as a mentor yourself or if you are seeking a mentor to guide you or a friend or family member. You can check to see if there is a Mentoring Partnership in your area\, and if not contact MENTOR directly for more information. \nWith statistics\, facts and case studies showing the positive effect that mentoring can have on young people\, it is something that collectively we can make huge progress with- the effect that you could have on a young person’s life is surely worth investigating. And if you feel you need a mentor then get in touch and take the first step in improving your own life. \nVisit the website for more information and support. \n#Mentoringmonth

SUMMARY:National Slavery & Human Trafficking Prevention Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. \nThe month of January was first declared as such in 2010 by the then President of the USA\, Barack Obama. Slavery and human trafficking is often considered a historic problem but sadly it is an issue which is growing on a worldwide basis and one which many people in our communities could be vulnerable to. A highly lucrative business\, albeit a criminal one\, here in the USA we are seeing an increase in the number of instances reported and it for these reasons that the awareness raising prevention month was established. \nMany organizations across the USA have developed awareness raising campaigns and material to help educate us all of the signs\, threats and behaviours that are often displayed by those operating in or being subjected to slavery and human trafficking. \nSome of the organizations involved and equipped to handle such matters include The National Human Trafficking Resource Centre\, The National Child Traumatic Stress Centre and The United Nations Blue Heart Campaign. \nThese organizations illustrate the problem effectively through their use of frightening statistics and have some fantastic resources that assists in the identification of potentially vulnerable people – particularly our young people. \nSo take some time this January to find out more and help put an end to these horrific criminal acts. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Wright Brothers Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:On the morning of December 17th\, 1903 in Kitty Hawk\, North Carolina\, brothers Wilbur & Orville Wright successfully flew Wright Flyer I\, the heavier than air powered aircraft through the skies on a 12 second flight marking the first ever event of its kind and thus creating a momentous historical occasion. As a result albeit many years later in 1959\, President D Eisenhower established December 17th as Wright Brothers Day. \n The Wright brothers became interested in flying in early childhood\, when their father bought them a toy helicopter. They liked the toy so much that when it broke\, they built their own. After many years of interest\, in the late 19th century they came up with the idea of three-axis control which made it possible for the pilot to maintain the aircraft’s equilibrium and to steer it effectively. Orville and Wilbur Wright used this principle to design and build a series of manned gliders. Their experience testing gliders helped them create the Flyer (which is now referred to as the Wright Flyer\, Flyer I or 1903 Flyer). It was made from spruce\, a strong and lightweight wood.They made their first attempt at powered flight on December 14\, 1903\, but it was unsuccessful. Repairs took three days. On December 17\, the brothers made another attempt with Orville piloting the Flyer. The brothers made another three flights that day\, taking turns. \n Their success is an important milestone in the development of aeronautics\, and is therefore no surprise its anniversary is celebrated as a national observance.

SUMMARY:Pan American Aviation Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Pan American Aviation Day is an annual national observance in the United States. It is observed on December 17 and falls on the same day as Brothers Wright Day\, which is not surprising as both observances commemorate the same event. \n On December 17\, 1903 Orville and Wilbur Wright accomplished the first successful flight of a mechanically propelled heavier-than-air craft near Kitty Hawk\, North Carolina. This event is considered to be a pivotal milestone in the development of aeronautics which led to breakthrough developments. \n Pan American Aviation Day was declared by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was first observed in 1940 and has been proclaimed every year since then. This observance focuses on stimulating interest in aviation in the American countries. Its ultimate goal is to contribute to the development of more rapid communications and cultural ties between the countries in the Western hemisphere. Pan American Aviation Day is not a public holiday therefore government offices\, educational establishments\, and businesses do not close on this day. However\, schools often organize trips to aviation centers or museums and classroom activities devoted to the history of aviation.

SUMMARY:Human Rights Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Human Rights Day commemorates the day the General Assembly of the UN adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The UDHR is one of UN’s major achievements as well as the first enunciation of human rights across the world. \nAdopted on 10th December 1948\, the Declaration stipulates universal values and a shared standard of achievement for everyone in every country. While the Declaration is not a binding document\, it inspired over 60 human rights instruments that today make a common standard of human rights. It is the most translated document around the globe available in over 500 languages. \nHuman Rights Day celebrates all our inalienable rights and freedoms including a right to education\, a decent living\, health care and a right to live free from any form of discrimination among others. \nDespite the efforts to protect human rights\, the hostility toward human rights and those who defend them continues to rise. As a result\, this year’s Human Rights Day advocates for everyone to stand up for their rights and those of others civil\, economic\, political and cultural rights. Additionally\, the day aims to enlighten us about how our rights are a foundation of sustainable development and peaceful societies. The day also acknowledges the advocates and defenders of human rights around the world.

SUMMARY:World Soil Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Soil Day  is held annually on December 5th\, this annual awareness day run by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)\, is usually held on the same date every year. The event aims to raise awareness of the importance of soil quality for human well-being\, food security and ecosystems\, and events are held at the UN FAO offices and through community based events. The day was first considered by the International Union of Soil Sciences in 2002\, but was not officially endorsed by FAO until 2013. \nSoil is the top layer of the earth\, the layer which everyone is familiar with\, but not everyone knows much about\, many householders don’t even know if their garden is clay\, loam or sandy soil or a mixture\, but the knowledge of soil type\, structure\, management and condition is what can make the difference between good plant growth and a thriving ecosystem and a wasteland. \nSoil is made up of organic and inorganic matter\, air and water\, and the mixture depends on the way the soil is managed or neglected\, which in turn impacts on how plants grow. The human race is dependent on soil for food\, and soil erosion and poison leads to famine\, soil also holds significant carbon\, which is lost through erosion\, which increases climate change. \nWe all depend on soil\, so the more that that is understood of it\, the better the human race thrives\, from beautiful gardens to crops that produce our food\, an example is where programmes in Africa have taught small farmers to manage soil against drought and erosion\, meaning bigger and better crops and less hunger and poverty in some areas. \nMembers of the public can liaise with FAO to run soil themed events for World Soil Day\, educating people on soil and the significance of soil and it’s treatment.

SUMMARY:Tree Dressing Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Tree dressing\, in the first week of December\, is based on many old customs from all over the world and at different times of the year.\nTree Dressing Day falls on the first weekend of December. It was initiated by Common Ground in 1990 and has grown to become much more than an expression of a love for trees. It is a chance for the whole community to gather and celebrate the leafy friends we all have in common. It’s also a chance for communities to reflect on the social and cultural history of their local area\, and the role trees have played in shaping this story.\nTrees have long been celebrated for their spiritual significance. The simplicity of tying strips of cloth or yarn to a tree is universal and timeless. The old Celtic custom of tying cloth dipped in water from a holy well to a clootie tree‚echoes the practice in Japan of decorating trees with strips of white paper\, or tanzaku\, bearing wishes and poems. The twenty-first century trend of yarn bombing‚in Europe and North America transforms the local landscape with bright fabrics and yarns\, like the Buddhist tradition of tying ribbons around the trunk of the Bodhi tree in homage to Buddha\, or the annual Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan when coloured strings are tied onto trees and plants to call upon the power of nature to protect loved ones.\nThese deep and diverse cultural associations provide a rich basis for tree festivities across the world. The act of dressing a tree binds us to it and celebrates the unique role that trees have in our local neighbourhoods.\nTree dressing is a powerful way of expressing our relationship with trees. Organising a Tree Dressing Day in your community is a wonderful way of saying thank you‚to the trees where you live. It is also the ideal moment to share tree stories with friends\, neighbours and colleagues. This year and every year join the many thousands of people across the UK who celebrate Tree Dressing Day and make sure your community’s voice is heard by saying thank you to the trees in your neighbourhood.

SUMMARY:World Television Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of the increasing impact television has on decision-making by bringing world attention to conflicts and threats to peace and security and its potential role in sharpening the focus on other major issues\, including economic and social issues\, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 21 November as World Television Day (through resolution 51/205 of 17 December 1996). \nWorld Television Day is not so much a celebration of the tool\, but rather the philosophy which it represents. Television represents a symbol for communication and globalisation in the contemporary world.

SUMMARY:Transgender Day of Rembrance 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Transgender Day of Remembrance or International Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day that is held annually on the 20th November to memorialise those individuals who have been murdered as a result of transphobia. It also aims to draw attention to the violence that is carried out towards many in the transgender community. \nThe Transgender Day of Remembrance was established in 1999 when transgender advocate Gwendolyn Anne Smith arranged a vigil as a memorial to transgender woman Rita Hester killed in 1998. Initially a small local event it has grown to be an internationally recognised annual event\, with events held in 185 cities across 20 countries. \nNow supported and promoted by GLAAD\, the awareness campaign receives much media coverage and support from transgender advocates. With candlelit vigils held where the names of those who have lost their lives are read out\, and marches taking place in communities across the world along with many other events\, there is plenty to get involved with. This is an opportunity to remember those we have lost in such horrific circumstances\, come together to overcome divisions in our community\, heal and grieve with other people affected by this terrible issue and attempt to find a way to educate those who are transphobic. \nVisit the GLAAD website where there is ideas for arranging your own awareness event\, along with many more statistics\, information and information about Transgender Awareness Week.

SUMMARY:Geography Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Geography Week was established by National Geographic as a way to educate people about how the decisions that they make in every day life affect the world we live in. Geography can be best described as the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments – so it really does affect us all. You don’t have to be an activist\, eco-warrior or as high profile as Greta Thunberg to become involved! \n As Global citizens it is important that we are up to speed with current and future geographical issues\, and are well informed to positively impact our surroundings. \n With little education historically taking place about these matters\, National Geographic identified huge gaps in Americans knowledge and therefore began this campaign to raise awareness\, educate and most importantly inspire people to become better informed and active. \n Established by presidential proclamation more than 25 years ago\, this annual public awareness program encourages citizens young and old to think and learn about the significance of place and how we affect and are affected by it. Every year more than 100\,000 people participate in National Geography week and contribute to its events\, games\, classroom challenges. It is also a perfect time to engage with business leaders and policy makers in an attempt to positively influence decisions. \n Currently a topic with huge media and political focus\, this is a great opportunity to expand your own knowledge and share it with others within your community. Who knows…if we all took part\, imagine the positive changes we could make on our world.

SUMMARY:Anti Bullying Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Anti-Bullying Week takes place in England from November 14th to the 18th. This nationwide event is organised by the Anti-Bullying Alliance and is intended to raise awareness of the issue of bullying among children\, especially in schools. Children of all ages as well as parents and children are encouraged to get involved in the event and take part in activities that will help to shine a light on the problem of bullying and ways to help resolve the issue. \nParents\, carers and teachers will also be asked to play an active role in preventing bullying\, with the main focus this time around is demonstrating different ways to support young people and provide an open platform for them to talk about any issues they have with bullying. The main role that carers can provide is creating a safe environment where young people can feel like they are able to talk about their feelings and problems and will receive support. \nA number of lesson plans and activities have been created and shared online for Anti-Bullying Week and downloading this content and making it a part of the classroom activities is a great way for teachers to get involved. \nHere’s a few more details about this year’s theme.\nAnti-Bullying Week 2022 is coordinated in England and Wales by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. It will take place from 14 to 18 November 2022 and has the theme Reach Out. The week will kick off with Odd Socks Day on Monday 14th November\, where adults and children where odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique. \n\n\n\nThe theme of Reach Out came about following consultation with teachers and pupils by the Anti-Bullying Alliance which coordinates Anti-Bullying Week every year in England and Wales. Teachers and children wanted a theme that empowered them to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes. \nFollowing the success of the campaign in 2021 – when 80% of schools marked the week\, reaching over 7.5 million children and young people – Anti-Bullying Week will remind everyone whether it’s in school\, at home\, in the community or online\, let’s reach out and show each other the support we need. \nOur call to action: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBullying affects millions of lives and can leave us feeling hopeless. But it doesn’t have to be this way. If we challenge it\, we can change it. And it starts by reaching out. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhether it’s in school\, at home\, in the community or online\, let’s reach out and show each other the support we need. Reach out to someone you trust if you need to talk. Reach out to someone you know is being bullied. Reach out and consider a new approach. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd it doesn’t stop with young people. From teachers to parents and influencers to politicians\, we all have a responsibility to help each other reach out. Together\, let’s be the change we want to see. Reflect on our own behaviour\, set positive examples and create kinder communities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt takes courage\, but it can change lives. So\, this Anti-Bullying Week\, let’s come together and reach out to stop bullying.

SUMMARY:American Education Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:This week is American Education Week! \nThe concept of a free or public education for all American children is not a new one. Its roots lie with our Founding Fathers\, when Thomas Jefferson proposed a system of decentralised education in Virginia. Successful across the US\, it did however it take a few more years until American Education Week was created! \nCelebrated the week before Thanksgiving\, American Education Week has been recognised since 1921. Following on from World War I when it was discovered that many of the military draftees were illiterate\, the American Legion and the American Education Association joined together to develop ways in which public education could be improved and highlighted. Since then many other public educational organisations have joined forces to promote the awareness campaign and provide vast amounts of information and materials for all to use. \nAmerican Education week exists to celebrate the potential of all American Students\, recognize and give thanks to the teachers and professionals working within the education system as well as honoring the parents and guardians who support and encourage. It also works to continuously improve the education system and ensure that learning is lifelong and not just restricted to a class room! \nFind out more about American Education Week!

SUMMARY:Maths Anxiety Awareness Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is Maths Anxiety?\nAccording to a Cambridge University report published in 2019\, research amongst 1\,700 schoolchildren discovered an overwhelming feeling that maths was more difficult than other subjects\, contributing to a lack or loss of confidence and negative emotions. Fast forward to adulthood and Maths Anxiety leads to four out of five adults showing low functional mathematics skills\, according to a 2014 report from National Numeracy. \nDespite Maths Anxiety being a pervasive issue\, it often goes unnoticed. Worse still\, Maths Anxiety may result in thoughts such as “I’m just not good at maths.” \nThe Cambridge University report points to the factors that influence Maths Anxiety showing that teachers and parents may inadvertently play a role in a child’s development of it and that girls tend to be more affected than boys. \nThe education system must be more aware and better equipped to deal with the emotional triggers that can blight a child’s ability to learn. \nWhen is Maths Anxiety Awareness Day?\nMaths Anxiety Awareness Day 2022 will take place on Thursday 10th November. \nHow to get involved in Maths Anxiety Awareness Day\nThe Dyscalculia network have organised a number of events on Maths Anxiety Awareness Day to help to raise awareness for the condition. \n\nWe will launch the initiative with a video presentation on maths anxiety by a well-known published and prominent speaker on maths anxiety. This will be published live around 10 days before the event.\nPublications – There have been a number of publications of articles in recent years about Maths Anxiety.\n\nWe plan to re-establish contact with these journalists and publishers to inform them about the Maths awareness day and work with them to write about this initiative.\nWe will also contact most of the teaching publications to inform them of our plans.\nWe will promote the Math Anxiety Awareness Day by contacting the main maths online sites to investigate opportunities for cross promotion.\n\n\nMeasuring Maths Anxiety – We will post a video talking about: Measurement. What different tests are available and how they work. We will interview an academic\, involved with maths anxiety. This will be published live around 5 days before Awareness Day.\nMy experiences of maths anxiety – We have two case studies of individuals (an adult and a child)\, where we will podcast a Q & A with them and they can discuss openly their experiences.\nWe will post regularly on our social media to promote the ‘Awareness Day’. This will cover the 10 day period before the ‘day’ but also will be extended for 5 days afterwards to make use of the publicity we will generate.\nThings you can do to help combat maths anxiety – We plan to give some ideas and plans for both the pupil and the teacher via a series of posts on social media\, which will include a number of free downloads from The Dyscalculia Network and the Maths Anxiety Trust website.\nPartners – We plan to work with a number of our ‘maths’ partners to promote both the day itself and also the webinar event. These individual plans will be detailed separately.\n\nLive Webinar \nThe day’s events will culminate in a live webinar at 5pm (lasting approximately 2 hours)\, featuring a number of well-known and respected figures in this field of work: \n\nSteve Chinn\nDr Thomas Hunt\nSue Johnston-Wilder\nJane Emerson\nRob Jennings\n\nEach person will give a short presentation on their view on Maths Anxiety and its impact on pupils and on our wider society. The talk will end with a live Q&A to our panel. \nYou can also get involved on social media using the hashtag #mathsanxietyawarenessday

SUMMARY:Children's Book Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Recognised as the longest running national literacy initiative in the USA\, running since 1919\, there is absolutely tonnes of stuff to get involved with and encourage children to read and love books. \nThe event is so popular that the organizers run 2 different weeks of celebration and activity: \nMay 2-8\, 2022 and November 7-13\, 2022! \nEvents take place in schools\, libraries\, bookstores and within your own home should you choose! \nThe week long awareness campaign has a fascinating history.

Melcher\, the visionary editor of Publishers Weekly who believed that “a great nation is a reading nation\,” and Anne Carroll Moore\, the Superintendent of Children’s Works at the New York Public Library and a major figure in the library world. Form then on\, Children’s Book Week grew and was supported and backed by more and more organizations with the Children’s Book Council leading the way since 1944. \nWe know that not all children enjoy reading\, but this is a superb opportunity to encourage those less interested as well as providing those who love reading to read a little bit more and share their love!

We invite you to take part in the conversation and share your thoughts on – \nHow we can all help people who face mental health challenges\nHow employers are responding to stress and mental health issues\nHow stress management professionals can help to alleviate stress\nHow workplace changes such as hybrid working are affecting wellbeing and levels of resilience\nHow those suffering with stress and mental health issues can access advice and support \nPrevious International Stress Awareness Weeks have attracted considerable interest in the media. Interviews with ISMA’s Chair\, Carole Spiers\, have been broadcast on Sky News\, BBC News and BBC London Live\, and there has previously been coverage on BBC Radio throughout the country. The new Online Global Stress and Wellbeing Summit is also likely to attract significant publicity on high-profile media channels such as Sky News\, BBC News\, BBC London Live\, The Independent\, The Telegraph and the Evening Standard\, and via online news sites\, blogs\, forums and websites. \nYou can also get involved in ISTAW on social media using the hashtags #InternationalStressAwarenessWeek\n#StressAwarenessWeek .

SUMMARY:Guy Fawkes Night 2022 (Bonfire Night)
DESCRIPTION:Guy Fawkes Night\, also known as Guy Fawkes Day\, Bonfire Night and Firework Night\, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November\, primarily in Great Britain. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605\, when Guy Fawkes\, a member of the Gunpowder Plot\, was arrested while guarding explosivesthe plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life\, people lit bonfires around London\, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Actenforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot’s failure. \n Within a few decades Gunpowder Treason Day\, as it was known\, became the predominant English state commemoration\, but as it carried strong Protestant religious overtones it also became a focus for anti-Catholic sentiment. Puritans delivered sermons regarding the perceived dangers of popery\, while during increasingly raucous celebrations common folk burnt effigies of popular hate-figures\, such as the pope. Towards the end of the 18th century reports appear of children begging for money with effigies of Guy Fawkes and 5 November gradually became known as Guy Fawkes Day. Towns such as Lewes and Guildford were in the 19th century scenes of increasingly violent class-based confrontations\, fostering traditions those towns celebrate still\, albeit peaceably. In the 1850s changing attitudes resulted in the toning down of much of the day’s anti-Catholic rhetoric\, and the Observance of 5th November Act was repealed in 1859. Eventually the violence was dealt with\, and by the 20th century Guy Fawkes Day had become an enjoyable social commemoration\, although lacking much of its original focus. The present-day Guy Fawkes Night is usually celebrated at large organised events\, centred on a bonfire and extravagant firework displays.

SUMMARY:No Dig Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is No Dig Day?\nHow to start a no dig bed & why November is a great time to do it – No Dig Day caption competition – children’s competition – giveaways – Charles’ special video premier event on the day – no dig lunch ideas and more…\nNo dig allows you to work in harmony with your soil for healthy plants and bumper crops\, without huge effort. With the no dig method\, soil drains well\, holds warmth and moisture\, and retains its organic matter and carbon. You can pop in seeds and plants at any time\, with no mud. Best of all is that weeds are few. You have more time for creative gardening and to make compost. \nYour work is at the surface only. \nWhen starting out\, the first step is to smother existing weeds – see this page. After that\, and just once a year\, spread 2–3 cm / 1 in of any type of compost on beds\, and a similar depth of wood chip on paths. This feeds soil organisms\, which maintain aeration and drainage. Their excretions hold nutrients in stable forms that are not water-soluble. \nNovember is an excellent time of year to create a new bed and you can sow/plant broad beans and garlic straightaway (or see this Sowing Guide for ideas if you are in the Southern Hemisphere). Marking No Dig Day in November also gives us all another reason to get out into our gardens at a time of year when many might be tempted to stay indoors. \nLots of people in the UK and around the world are growing their own vegetables with the no dig method. Have a go! The satisfaction of nurturing your soil\, sowing your seeds and harvesting healthy veg to eat is so good for your physical and mental health\, and it’s good for the environment too. \n\nBetter drainage so less flooding\nBetter moisture retention so less water needed for more food\nNo need for synthetic inputs which harm soil life\, such as artificial fertilisers – see Rothamsted research\nLess slug damage in my and others’ experience\nSoil is always covered\, with compost on beds and wood material on paths\, and most of the time with growing plants\nCarbon is retained in the soilNo Dig Day is a day to celebrate the joy of no dig\, to encourage others to grow healthy food more easily\, while increasing the wildlife beneath our feet.\n\nWhen is No Dig Day 2022?\nAs November is the perfect time to begin a “no dig garden” \, No Dig Day 2022 will take place on the 3rd November. \nHow to get involved in No Dig Day 2022.\nStart a no dig bed \nIt’s easier than you think to start a no dig bed – November is a good time of the year to do this. \nCheck out the instructions here and see our FAQ. Here is a link to Charles’ video ‘Start Out No Dig’ \nShout about your no dig garden \nIf you are already a no dig gardener then please do share the No Dig Day far and wide. #NoDigDay \nEg: I’m sharing details of Charles Dowding’s No Dig Day to encourage as many people as possible to grow their own food using the No Dig methods. \nInvite your friends round to see your garden and show them how you’ve done it. You could serve up a tasty soup made from your homegrown veg. \nSimple squash soup recipe \nMid-October – the Crown Prince harvest from four plants\, with an average weight of 3.7 kg/8.1 lb; this is a lot of food to see us through winter and spring\n1 squash\, sliced into wedges (we like Crown Prince squash). If your squash is large then half will do.\n3 large onions\n2 cloves of garlic\n3 leeks\nSplash of white wine\n1 vegetable stock cube\, 2 if you have a large squash\nOlive oil\nKnob of butter\nMethod: \nLay out your squash wedges on a couple of baking sheets\, drizzle with olive oil and roast in an oven for 35–40 minutes at 170 degrees. Check with a knife if the squash is cooked through.\nWhilst the squash is cooking\, dice your onions and slice your leeks thinly. Crush the garlic. Put a large pan or stock pot on a low heat and add the butter\, garlic\, onions and leek. Cover and cook slowly\, stir occasionally and add a splash of water if the mixture is sticking to the bottom of the pan.\nOnce the squash is cooked\, take off the skin with a knife\, cut it into chunks and then add to the pan.\nTop the pan up with enough water to cover all the vegetables. Add the vegetable stock cube and wine\, and season with salt and pepper if you wish.\nLet this simmer for 30 minutes.\nTo finish you can whizz the soup with a hand-held blender\, mash it with a potato masher or leave it chunky.\nTo serve\, you could drizzle with olive or chilli oil\, or sprinkle a little grated cheese of your choice.\nWrite to your school and suggest a no dig garden \nMany schools include gardening in their curriculum\, but if your school or your children’s school doesn’t yet\, then do write in. There is some advice from Charles here. \nWIN– Enter Charles’s caption competition and Children’s competition on No Dig Day \nCharles will upload a photo to Instagram\, Facebook and Twitter at 9am (UK time) on Thursday 3rd November and we’ll post it here on the day. In the comments\, add your caption – the winner will be announced at 9pm on the day. \nThe funnier the better! \nThe prize is a signed copy of Charles new book\, ‘No Dig: Nurture Your Soil to Grow Better Veg with Less Effort’\, published by DK\, and your choice of one of Charles’s three online courses: No Dig\, Skills for Growing and From Seed to Harvest. There is a set of prizes for each of the three platforms. \nGood luck! \nChildren’s competition – ‘Create your dream vegetable garden’ \nCalling all young gardeners!

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The aim on national Bug Busting Days is to find all the head lice and zap them in one fell swoop. This stops them from circulating endlessly. \n Often a child who has caught head lice in the last month will show no obvious symptoms\, but they are still contagious. In most cases there will be just 10 or so lice on the head\, and parents will not discover them unless they use a Bug Buster Kit. This contains the unique Bug Buster combs\, expressly designed and scientifically tested for accurate louse detection\, and full\, easy-to-follow instructions on using them with ordinary shampoo and conditioner. Remember it is always necessary to check again the Bug Busting way after treatment because none is guaranteed to kill all head lice and their eggs. \n You can also check out this NHS Choices website entry on head lice. It includes a clear explanation of how head lice are caught and what environmental precautions are relevant to control. \n The charity Community Hygiene Concern produces Bug Busting materials for schools and Bug Buster Kits for families on a not-for-profit basis. \n If you require any further information you can: \n   Ring the Bug Buster Help Line on 01908 561928\n   Email bugbusters2k@yahoo.co.uk or\n   Visit the official National Bug Busting Day website \n Schools and nurseries up and down the country introduce parents to Bug Busting and louse control becomes fun\, without tears\, based on sound science. \n Bug Busting Days are organised by the charity Community Hygiene Concern in partnership with the Department of Health. \n Bug Busting Days take place on 31 January\, 15 June and 31 October.

SUMMARY:International Day for the Eradication of Poverty 2022
DESCRIPTION:Building a sustainable future: Coming together to end poverty and discrimination\n The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty has been observed every year since 1993\, when the United Nations General Assembly\, by resolution 47/196\, designated this day to promote awareness of the need to eradicate poverty and destitution in all countries. Fighting poverty remains at the core of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the development of the post-2015 development agenda. \n This year\, the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty holds particular significance because it will be the first observance following the formal adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals by the General Assembly of the United Nations. Within this new development framework\, designed to replace and carry forward the aims of the Millennium Development Goals\, all countries committed to ending poverty in all its forms and dimensions.

SUMMARY:National Coming Out Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National coming out day is celebrated on October 11th on a yearly basis. It grows and becomes more well known every single year. National coming out day is a time for those in the LGBT community to finally be open about who they are to their friends\, family and the world! \n This day was actually founded way back in 1988 and since then it has hit the world by storm. Being out and proud as a lesbian person\, a bisexual person\, a gay person or a trans person is such a liberation and is sure to completely transform your life for the better. \n There is no question that homophobia and ignorance builds on silence so it is time to end that silence. Being proud of who you are and who you live will make you happier within yourself. Research has shown that if somebody KNOWS somebody who is part of the LGBT community\, they are much less likely to be homophobic. \n ‘Coming out’ basically means expressing your sexuality to the world in order to end the stigma and this is exactly what NCDO is about. Get out of that closest and do it proudly on this special day of the year.

SUMMARY:World Teachers Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Also known as International Teachers Day\, World Teachers Day is held yearly on October 5. Since its set up in 1994\, the day celebrates the marking of the ” teaching in Freedom” in 1996. The theme this year is – The Transformation of Education Begins with Teachers. It is observed all over the world over since 1994 after the UNESCO Recommendation concerning Teachers. \nWhat is the purpose of the World Teachers Day? \nIts point is to centre around “acknowledging\, evaluating and enhancing the instructors of the world” and to give a chance to consider the issues identified with educators and the teaching process in general. \nThe event has consistently been held on October 5 since 1994 and the goal is the same; to honour educators’ associations around the world. Its point is to prepare to bolster for instructors and to guarantee that the requirements of future ages will keep on being met by educators. \nAs indicated by UNESCO\, World Teachers’ Day speaks to a massive token of the mindfulness\, comprehension and thankfulness showed for the fundamental commitment that educators make in advancement by teaching. \nThe Education International (EI) organisation firmly trusts that World Teachers’ Day ought to be globally perceived and celebrated far and wide. EI likewise believes that the standards of the 1966/97 suggestions ought to be considered for execution in all countries. \nMore than 100 nations celebrate the World Teachers’ Day globally. The endeavours of Education International and its 401 associations have added to this broadly spread acknowledgement. Consistently\, EI dispatches an open mindfulness crusade to feature the commitments of the teaching calling.

They believe feeling clean should not be a luxury or a privilege in the modern world and so they work to inspire social change. \n\nWhen is National Hygiene Week 2022?\nNational Hygiene Week returns from the 3rd-9th October 2022\, to help raise awareness about hygiene poverty and its impact on those pulled into poverty. \nHow to get involved in National Hygiene Week 2022.\nMany organisations in the third and private sector have gotten involved in previous National Hygiene Weeks participating in events and actions such as panel discussions\, educational resources for schools\, social media campaign\, media coverage\, MP engagement and more.

SUMMARY:World Habitat Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October of every year as World Habitat Day. \nThe purpose of World Habitat Day is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities\, and on the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world that we all have the power and the responsibility to shape the future of our cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day was established in 1985 by the United Nations General Assembly through Resolution 40/202\, and was first celebrated in 1986. \nEach year\, World Habitat Day takes on a new theme to bring attention to UN-Habitat’s mandate to promote sustainable development policies that ensure adequate shelter for all. \nThe theme for this year’s World Habitat Day is Accelerating urban action for a carbon-free world. Cities are responsible for some 70 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions with transport\, buildings\, energy\, and waste management accounting for the bulk of urban greenhouse gas emissions. \nThe future of our planet depends on national\, regional and local governments and organizations\, communities\, academic institutions\, the private sector and all relevant stakeholders working together to create sustainable\, carbon-neutral\, inclusive cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day will amplify the global Race to Zero Campaign and UN-Habitat’s ClimateAction4Cities and encourage local governments to develop actionable zero-carbon plans in the run up to the international climate change summit COP26 in November. \nMore information about this year’s World Habitat Day celebrations will be posted soon. \nPlease feel free to contact us on our NEW email address: unhabitat-whd@un.org

SUMMARY:National Bullying Prevention Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:As a parent\, as I’m sure many of you are\, one of my worst fears is to find that my children are either being bullied\, or being a bully themselves. I often wonder how we would deal with discovering either of these scenarios. In a world where bullying can take on many new and different forms\, it concerns me that not enough parents\, guardians\, families and friends would know what to do for the best. \nAlthough sad that such an awareness campaign has to exist in the first place\, it’s also reassuring and useful to know that the National Bullying Prevention Center run the National Bullying Prevention Month throughout the month of October with lots of information and support readily available to help anyone who may need it. \nEstablished by PACER\, a center for parent training and information for families and youth with disabilities\, the initial campaign was designed to raise awareness of the long lasting effects that bullying has on many children and young people and to change the perception that bullying is a part of growing up that cannot be challenged. Collaborating with education-based organizations such as the National PTA\, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association they provide schools\, parents and students with the educational resources and support to better respond to bullying behavior. \nThroughout the month the campaign aims to work at a grassroots level with local schools\, community groups\, young people and families to address any issues faced by them\, signpost to organisations who may be able to offer support\, educate youngsters about the effects of bullying and promote kindness\, acceptance and inclusion. On a higher level they also work with news and media outlets encouraging them to promote their message and cause as well as communicating with education and public policy leaders about the role they play in bullying prevention. \nThe dedicated website has many ways you can show your support – be it as an individual\, school or community\, as well as offering ideas for activities for all school ages\, a really useful toolkit advising of lesson plans and details of special events planned across the nation. \nNow a nationally recognised awareness campaign with support from Facebook\, Disney\, Instagram\, CNN\, TLC and Yahoo! Kids and many\, many more organisations this is a campaign that should be embraced by all within our communities.

SUMMARY:International School Library Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:International School Library Month (ISLM) is an opportunity for those in charge of school libraries around the world to choose a day\, week\, or the entire month in October to celebrate the importance of school libraries and to celebrate everything great about them. \nA previous year’s theme for ISLM was Why I Love My School Library”. It was based on the annual IASL conference theme of Innovation\, Information and Impact of School Libraries”. The focus of this was on the impact of school libraries and we chose a theme wording that we believed would be accessible to all our participants (aged 3 to 20 years). We invited people to celebrate ISLM by engaging in projects and activities to express why they love their school library. We hope that this year’s ISLM will be a wonderful\, worldwide song of joy in and love for the school library. \nThe ISLM team facilitates a number of activities that you might like to participate in as part of the celebration and no doubt you will also have your own ideas for how best to make the most of ISLM in your libraries. No matter how big or small your school library please do consider getting involved. \nISLM is open to everybody\, whether you are a member of IASL or not\, so spread the word and start gearing up for a super time for ISLM this October! And remember\, you can tell everybody about your ISLM by sending information and photos to our What People are Doing for ISLM page.

SUMMARY:ADHD Awareness Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a very common disorder which affects children and adults. It has for many years been recognised as a childhood issue that affects focus\, self-control and many other important skills. However\, it has only recently been recognised as an adult problem too. The cause is an imbalance in the brains anatomy and its wiring. \n How did ADHD Awareness Month Get Started? \n An ADHD Awareness Day was how it all started. A resolution was passed by the United States Senate that declared September 7th as National Attention Deficit Disorder Day in 2006. From there it grew into a full month by 2004. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of ADHD\, by providing information that is reliable. The information is based on research and scientific evidence. \n The Organisers \n A coalition of organisations are responsible for organising many different events around the world: the ADHD Organisation (ACO); the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA) and the Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHASDD). \n What You Can do to Take Part \n A number of different resources are available\, and the idea is to spread the word\, far and wide. If you want to help educate people then there are various resources available online. These include fact sheets and posters\, graphics and logos\, together with videos and recordings.

SUMMARY:World School Milk Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World School Milk Day is held all over the world on the last Wednesday of September every year to celebrate the benefits and success of school milk programmes. \nThe first World School Milk Day was celebrated in September 2000 and has since become an annual event promoted by the FAO (Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations). \nThe History \nIn the UK\, our history of school milk spans back over 100 years to the Provision of Meals Act 1906. This recognised that the provision of school food would allow needy and undernourished children to benefit more from education. Also\, that milk was a food that could be provided to children to prevent poor nutrition. \nAfter the Great Depression and the World Wars malnutrition among children was a great concern. So school milk schemes were introduced and developed. Throughout the 20th century\, the provision of milk to school children has helped combat undernutrition in times of scarcity. \nSchool Milk Today \nMilk and dairy products continue to play a role in children’s diets today. A carton of school milk provides a 4-6 year old with: \n52% of their recommended calcium intake \n59% of their recommended iodine intake \n100% of their recommended vitamin B12 intake \n59% of their recommended B2 intake. \nFor older children aged 7-10 years\, a carton of milk provides: \n42% of their recommended calcium intake \n53% of their recommended iodine intake \n100% of their recommended vitamin B12 \n47% of their recommended B2 intake. \nMilk also provides energy and protein for their growth and development. \nWorld School Milk Day is celebrated in many countries\, with an increasing number of activities taking place each year. Schools and milk providers are free to celebrate as they wish. Celebrations can be at any level – from national or regional events to individual schools. Find out more about dairy and health for primary school children.

SUMMARY:Wool Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:After much deliberation we are thrilled to announce that Shetland Wool Week will be going ahead in person this year. It will be a scaled back version of our usual physical event as our main focus will be on delivering SWW in full for 2023. \n\nThe all-important dates are Saturday 24 September to Sunday 2 October 2022.\n\nFor the past two years we have run a virtual event\, but this year\, with Covid restrictions lifting around the world\, we wanted to take our first steps towards bringing a physical event back and will be calling it ‘Casting on Shetland Wool Week’. \nThis temporary name change is an indication of how this year’s event will be quite different in scale from previous physical Wool Weeks. With the ongoing uncertainty of new Covid variants\, and ever-mindful of our small island community\, our programme will be reduced in size from previous years. \nHow will this year’s SWW be different?\nWhile this year’s event will include classes in popular topics\, such as Fair Isle knitting\, weaving and lace\, we will not have the variety and sheer number of workshops as before\, so there will be limited capacity and choice. There will be tours\, talks and textile drop ins at community halls throughout the isles\, but it is looking likely that the large-scale public gatherings\, such as the opening ceremony\, and much-loved Hub space at the Shetland Museum may be omitted.

SUMMARY:National Punctuation Day in the USA 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Punctuation Day is an annual observance held on September 24. \nIt was established to promote the correct usage of punctuation in the English language. National Punctuation Day was created by Jeff Rubin in 2004 to emphasize the vital role of punctuation marks in written English. In the English language\, the simple differences in punctuation can produce the sharp differences in meaning\, that is why correct punctuation is so important. \nThere are two major styles of punctuation in the English language: British (logical punctuation) and American (traditional punctuation). They differ primarily in the way they handle quotation marks. The rest of the basic punctuation rules are essentially the same in all varieties of English. Sadly these rules are often ignored\, which may lead to misunderstanding. Punctuation is as important as any other aspect of the written language. That is why Rubin founded National Punctuation Day.National Punctuation Day is marked with special lessons at schools\, contests\, fundraisers\, and other appropriate events and activities. \nIn 2006\, Jeff Rubin and his wife\, Norma\, launched Punctuation Playtime. It is a program for elementary school students that focuses on reinforcing important punctuation lessons.

SUMMARY:Seed Gathering Season 2022
DESCRIPTION:Since 1998\, The Tree Council has been organising Seed Gathering Season\, the autumn campaign to inspire everyone to gather seeds\, fruits and nuts and grow the trees of the future. The festival starts each year on the 23rd September (the autumn equinox\, considered to be the first day of autumn) and continues until the 23rd October\, giving our volunteer Tree Wardens and member organisations plenty of days on which to hold events\, with lots of opportunities for everyone to hear and get inspired. \nAt a time when trees are also being ravaged by newly imported pests and diseases\, one important factor for the survival of some species is going to be diversity of stock and the way forward is going to be trees grown from local seed\, on home soil. Growing seeds from healthy UK trees is probably one of the best ways of taking out insurance that there will be strong saplings to plant where the gaps appear. \nGrowing trees from local seed can have great benefits in restocking areas with trees of local provenance. The concept of local provenance suggests that trees that are adapted to the local circumstances are more likely to flourish and so help restore\, conserve and beautify local urban and rural spaces. Collecting seeds and growing trees is also a great way to get children involved and start growing the next generation of tree enthusiasts. \nInterested in getting involved? You can find events on our Near You map. \nIf you’re interested in organising your own event in 2020\, read further to get some tips on how to grow trees from the seeds. To find out about the kind of activities which took place in your area last year\, for inspiration\, you can look at past events. You can also find more information in our publications Trees and How to Grow Themand The Good Seed Guide.

SUMMARY:International Day of Peace 2022
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Peace is an International event that is observed each year by nations all across the world. \nThe event is commemorated on 21st of September each year. It is a day that was set aside by the United Nations General assembly for everyone around the world to devote to keeping peace\, despite any differences they may have\, as well as play a part in building a peace culture that will last for generations to come. \nInternational Day of Peace was started way back in 1981 through the resolution 36/67 by the United Nations General Assembly\, in an effort to reconcile people around the world. Last year’s theme was\, Together for Peace: Respect\, Safety\, and Dignity for all. This year’s theme is yet to be announced. \nCommunities across the world observe this day in different ways. Some observe the day through organising peace workshops\, engaging in feasts that bring people together for peace\, putting up peace poles\, and engaging in peace activities that bring people together. An activity that is common in people observing this day is the one minute silence that is observed at 12 noon across all time zones. This activity was started to create a ‘Peace Wave’ that moves around the globe.

SUMMARY:Recycle Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Recycle Week is Recycle Now’s flagship annual event which is a celebration of recycling across the nation. Now in its 19th year\, it’s the one week of the year where retailers\, brands\, waste management companies\, trade associations\, governments and the media come together to achieve one goal: to galvanise the public into recycling more of the right things\, more often. \nThis year’s theme: Step It Up this Recycle Week \nThe Climate Crisis is a tough subject. But we’re a nation of even tougher subjects. The last 15 months have shown that. And while throughout the past year many things have happened over which we’ve had no control\, the Climate Crisis is something we can actively do something about. Every one of us\, every single day. Most of us already do\, through small but powerful habits – like recycling. We know environmental concerns are still on the increase\, so we need to do more. We need to do it now. And we need to act together. It’s time to join the fight against climate change. Step It Up this Recycle Week. \nWith our proven track record of tapping into national conversations and sentiments\, this year’s Recycle Week is set to be a truly impactful national event.

SUMMARY:Fire Door Safety Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:A door’s a door’s a door\, right? No\, a fire door is an engineered safety device. Fire doors are a crucial part of the passive fire protection of every commercial\, public and multiple occupancy building. They save lives and property. \nThere are about 3 million new fire doors bought and installed every year in the UK\, the vast majority made from timber. Fire doors are often the first line of defence in a fire and their correct specification\, maintenance and management can be the difference between life and death for building occupants. However\, they remain a significant area of neglect\, often the first thing to be downgraded on a specification and mismanaged throughout their service life\, propped open\, damaged and badly maintained. Consequently\, we have created Fire Door Safety Week: \nTo raise awareness of the critical role of fire doors\, drawing attention to specific issues such as poor installation and maintenance. \nTo encourage building owners and users to check the operation and condition of their fire doors and to report those that aren’t satisfactory. \nTo link together the initiatives of many organisations with common interests in the fire door and passive fire protection industries. \nTo engage and educate people\, helping the whole building industry and every property owner to understand the correct specification\, supply\, installation\, operation\, inspection and maintenance of fire doors. \nSupported by a wide range of organisations\, Fire Door Safety Week is the brainchild of the British Woodworking Federation\, BWF-CERTIFIRE Scheme and Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS). \nHow can you get involved? \nWhy not: \nUpload our logo and put a link to Fire Door Safety Week on your website. \nTweet about Fire Door Safety Week or publicise your support on other social media – don’t forget to use the hashtag #FireDoorSafetyWeek. \nHold a free CPD session for local businesses about fire door safety. \nOpen up your factory and invite your local MP to see what you do to promote fire door safety. \nUse our videos to raise awareness among your staff or building users. \nCarry out an inspection of your fire doors\, or get a FDIS Certificated Inspector to help. \nRun a communications campaign or leaflet drop to tell your tenants about fire door safety. \nDisplay posters showing three simple fire door safety tips. \nSpend a day in your local builder’s merchants giving buyers advice on third-party certificated fire doors and the correct components. \nDistribute copies of our free fact cards on all aspects of fire door specification. \nLaunch a new product or service that helps more people specify\, buy\, install or maintain their fire doors. \nSend an email to all your customers saying you support Fire Door Safety Week and letting them know about this website. \nSo many options\, so much scope! What will you choose to do?

SUMMARY:National Coding Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:How to get involved with National Coding Week. \nChildren are part of a confident Digital Generation having grown up with the internet\, smart phones and coding classes. However\, many adults have missed out on the digital revolution and feel left behind. The aim of National Coding Week is to give adults the opportunity to learn some digital skills. \n We want to create taster sessions for parents\, teachers\, business leaders\, school leavers\, the unemployed\, people with autism or those who have retired. It’s open to everyone! We are not expecting people to become coders after one session! For many people it takes years of practice and experience but these taster sessions can be the first step on a journey into a digital business or digital career. \n Children can inspire adults \n Children are learning digital skills in school or through coding clubs such as CoderDojos. We therefore would like these clubs to open their doors to parents for a one-off session in which the children will teach the adults some of the skills they have learnt. \n Libraries can act as focal points \n Libraries are in an ideal position to act as a focal point and can host a coding session. Either the staff can lead the session or someone who is confident and familiar with coding from the local community can share their skills. Read CILIP’s blog: Libraries‚ how they can improve our Digital Literacy \n Schools and Code Clubs can get involved \n Children are learning coding but many parents don’t understand what their children are doing and many non-specialist teachers and governors feel they have missed out on these skills. \n This year in partnership with Makewaves we are offering children the opportunity to learn and share new skills by collecting digital badges. \n Share Your Skills \n Share Your Skills Badge involves planning a digital skills lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Create a simple lesson plan of what you will be teaching your class. The lesson‚can be any time from 15 minutes to 60 minutes and it can be taught by a single person or a group of 5 maximum. Each individual needs to have a clear role. \n Stay Safe Online \n Stay Safe Online Badge involves planning a stay safe online lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Research a stay safe online topic\, examples are listed below but you could choose any topic that is important to you: \n Data Protection | Cyber Security | Social Media Management | Privacy settings | Passwords management | Knowing who you are communicating with (stranger danger) \n For more details check out the National Coding Week / Makewaves Digital Badges \n Web\, app\, creative and digital businesses can throw open their doors \n Those with the expertise can share their skills and have fun teaching people the basics of coding. There are many training organisations who offer courses throughout the year. They can contribute to the week by offering taster sessions to encourage people to sign-up. \n Tech Hubs \n There are hundreds of tech hubs with amazing businesses working from them. The tech hubs are giving start-ups a platform from which to launch businesses and inspire others. These can be the perfect venue for the week and we would love them to be involved. \n Advice \n Keep it simple‚ it might simply be showing people the resources available online at Codex \, Codecademy or TeamTreehouse. \n If you are able to organise it\, get a friendly local web development agency\, ICT teacher or FE college tutor to lead the session. \n A simple introductory session can be to get people familiar with tags / code that make up HTML and CSS and show how they work together. \n Sign up for the event at codingweek.org \n Organise a public or private event and pin it to the map \n Hold the event\, take photos and tweet using the hashtag #nationalcodingweek \n We would love to hear from people willing to organise events including libraries\, schools\, digital agencies\, tech hubs and coding clubs / CoderDojos. If you let us know what you’re planning we can give you a shoutout and feature you in the run up to the week. \n Why learning Digital Skills is important \n The digital economy has grown enormously in the past 8 years and clusters of digital businesses are springing up everywhere. \n It has been reported that 50% of digital product developers are self-taught and as many as 83% of app developers have taught themselves. \n There are now more people working in tech jobs in the south east of England than the whole of California but there is a skills shortage and many adults could contribute to the digital economy if they had the confidence to get started.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

SUMMARY:Adult Learners Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Save the date: 19 – 25 September 2022 (with promotional activity taking place throughout September)\nThe campaign celebrates the achievements of learners and adult learning provision across Wales\, inspiring thousands of adults each year to engage in a wide range of learning opportunities whilst raising awareness of the value of adult learning. \nLifelong learning is seen by many as part of the solution to a range of pressing global issues including rapidly changing economies and labour markets\, climate change policies and a mental health crisis. It can improve productivity\, cultivate better health and well-being\, engage people in democratic processes; and build a more equitable society. \nIn Wales we are facing many challenges – there is a growing trend of working-age adults being under-qualified and lacking essential skills. Almost half of adults from the lowest socioeconomic groups have not received any training since they left full-time education. \nWe want Adult Learners’ Week to be the catalyst that inspires and mobilises people to change their story to lead better and more fulfilling lives. The campaign will offer people a second chance and the confidence they need to move forward and access learning opportunities and to seek advice and guidance. \nThis is achieved by collaborating with a whole host of private and public organisations on the promotion of online and in-person taster sessions\, events \, short courses\, resources\, promotional activity and guidance and support on careers and skills – all signposted through the Adult Learners’ Week online learning platform. Adults can learn new skills\, gain a qualification\, explore career pathways\, improve their health\, wellbeing and confidence\, connect with other people or discover a new passion or hobby. \nTogether we can create increased visibility and momentum for lifelong learning in Wales and inspire more adults to move forward and build a better future with confidence. \nWe want to work with you to promote opportunities for adults to build their skills and to make lifelong learning more accessible. \nJoin our network of partners to deliver live tutorials and events for the campaign and we’ll promote any courses and resources on the site. \nWe want to work with you to: \n\nPromote your provision and engage with new and existing audiences by offering opportunities to learn\nConnect people in Wales to get support with health & wellbeing\, learning and employment opportunities\nBecome a part of the Wales-wide campaign partnership that advocates lifelong learning\nShare positive and aspirational stories that will inspire others to participate in lifelong learning\n\nIf you would like to join our campaign complete our Stakeholder form to express your interest in the campaign. \nPlease note\, if you already have an account on our campaign website or you have previously worked with us\, you won’t need to complete the form. \nIf you have any questions or need help with your account\, please email: alwevents@learningandwork.org.uk  \nThe campaign is coordinated by Learning and Work Institute Wales (L&W) in partnership with the Welsh Government and the European Social Fund and other partners such as The Open University in Wales\, Agored Cymru\, Qualifications Wales\, Adult Learning Wales\, and National Centre for Learning Welsh.

SUMMARY:Great British Beach Clean 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Great British Beach Clean is a week-long citizen science event\, where hundreds of beach cleans take place up and down the UK. Litter data collected drives our conservation work and also feeds into the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC). \nThis year’s Great British Beach Clean will take place between Friday 16th – Sunday 25th September 2022. \nOn every clean we ask people to run a litter survey: recording all the items of rubbish they find in a 100m stretch. We use this data to campaign for change. \nAnd we have seen some great results – the plastic bag charge\, banning microplastics in personal care products\, better wet wipe labelling\, and supporting a tax on single-use plastic items. \nBut there is still so much to do to stop the litter plaguing our beaches. \n425 litter items found per 100m of beach surveyed at last year’s Great British Beach Clean \n30% of beach cleans last year found face masks and PPE \n55% drop in plastic bags found on UK beaches since 5p charge introduced \nBut it’s not job done. We need to gather more and more data to wage war on other types of beach litter\, and you can help. \nWant to run your own beach clean event? Find out how to become an organiser \nMake 2022 your year to save our seas. \nTo get involved this year find an event near you – events as a list or on a map. Sign up for the event/s you’d like to attend and the beach clean organiser will be in touch. \nThe Great British Beach Clean includes the Great Channel Islands Beach Clean and Great Northern Irish Beach Clean.

SUMMARY:International Day of Democracy 2022
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Democracy is held on September 15th\, and is held on the same date every year\, and tends to have a theme\, an example of a previous year’s theme was ‘Democracy and Conflict Prevention’. \n International Day of Democracy is an annual day that has been running for 10 years. It is a United Nations\, (UN)\, day of observation\, the purpose of the day is to review the state of democracy in the world and uphold and and promote democracy and its principles. The day was founded on the 20th anniversary of the First International Conference of the New or Restored Democracies\, which promoted global democracy. \n On the day\, individuals and organisations of all kinds work together for democracy and hold events to raise awareness of democracy\, including conferences\, discussions and debates\, as well as press conferences and publicity campaigns though distribution of leaflets\, posters and flyers\, often with the UN logo on them. Major events to commemorate the day are held at UN headquarters. \n Democracy and human rights are closely linked\, and UN covenants on these matters are to the fore on this observance day. Democracy is a state where the people have rights\, especially to vote for and elect their government and regulation from among themselves\, rather than being controlled by a government over whom they have no right of dissent\, election or protest. Lack of democracy can lead to lack of rights or a voice\, and this impacts on human rights as set out by the UN.

SUMMARY:World Suicide Prevention Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Suicide Prevention Day is observed on September 10 each year to promote worldwide action to prevent suicides. Various events and activities are held during this occasion to raise awareness that suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death. \n What do people do? \n World Suicide Prevention Day gives organizations\, government agencies and individuals a chance to promote awareness about suicide\, mental illnesses associated with suicide\, as well as suicide prevention. Organizations such as the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and World Health Organization (WHO) play a key role in promoting this event. \n Events and activities for World Suicide Prevention Day include: \n   The launch of new government initiatives to prevent suicide. \n   Conferences\, open days\, educational seminars or public lectures. \n   Media programs promoting suicide awareness and prevention. \n   Memorial services or candlelight ceremonies to remember those who died from suicide. \n   Organizing cultural or spiritual events\, fairs or exhibitions. \n   Launches of publications about suicide awareness and prevention. \n   Training courses about suicide and depression awareness. \n Many of these initiatives are celebrated in various countries worldwide. Some of these events and activities are held at a local level\, while others are nation-wide. Many communities around the world reaffirm their commitment to suicide prevention on World Suicide Prevention Day. \n Background \n Nearly 3000 people on average commit suicide daily\, according to WHO. For every person who completes a suicide\, 20 or more may attempt to end their lives. About one million people die by suicide each year. Suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death which is influenced by psycho-social\, cultural and environmental risk factors that can be prevented through worldwide responses that address these main risk factors. There is strong evidence indicating that adequate prevention can reduce suicide rates. \n World Suicide Prevention Day\, which first started in 2003\, is annually held on September 10 each year as an IASP initiative. WHO co-sponsors this event. World Suicide Prevention Day aims to: \n   Raise awareness that suicide is preventable. \n   Improve education about suicide. \n   Spread information about suicide awareness. \n   Decrease stigmatization regarding suicide. \n WHO and IASP work with governments and other partners to ensure that suicide is no longer stigmatized\, criminalized or penalized. WHO’s role is to build political action and leadership to develop national responses to prevent suicide\, strengthen national planning capacity to establish the core building blocks of such a national response\, and build the national capacities to implement these responses.

SUMMARY:National Read A Book Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:September 6th is National Read a Book Day. Here are a few of the reasons you should join in on this holiday and read a book. \n Read a book today BECAUSE \n It’s the best excuse for peace and quiet. \n You love sitting in your favourite chair. \n That stack of borrowed books needs a dent. \n All your friends are busy. \n You need a new favourite quotation. \n Books are on your schedule: you can pick them up and put them down at your own convenience. \n Walking to the library is good exercise. \n You saw the movie\, but you heard the book is way better. \n You’ve always wanted to read Anna Karenina. \n You’ve always wanted to reread Anna Karenina. \n There’s a swath of history you’re sick of having to admit you know NOTHING about. \n Some sentences are better than kissing (See Nabokov). \n Your perspective can be changed by a single passage (See Vonnegut). \n Your life can be changed by a book (See The Year of Magical Thinking). \n You’re going through something and you just need to get lost in a beautiful\, made-up world. \n You haven’t gotten to use your imagination in a really long time. \n Today’s world is so loud\, hyper-connected and busy. \n The world inside your head is yours and yours alone.

SUMMARY:International Day of Charity 2022
DESCRIPTION:As part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development\, adopted in September 2015\, the UN has recognized the importance of eradicating poverty in all forms. Poverty presents an enormous global challenge for the international community\, as is a significant threat to sustainable development. In the spirit of global solidarity\, the 2030 Agenda is focused on how best to meet the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens and acknowledges the role that the private sector must play in supporting the various organizations who have undertaken philanthropic efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. \n Poverty exists in every country around the globe\, from powerful industrial nations to developing countries. It continues to affect millions of people\, regardless of their social and cultural situations\, and is a barrier to true prosperity and equality. \n In recognition of the significant role that charities and individuals have undertaken to alleviate human suffering and humanitarian crises\, the UN General Assembly\, under resolution A/RES/67/105PDF\, has designated the 5th of September as the International Day of Charity. This date was chosen as it is the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa\, and the resolution is\, in part\, a tribute to her work and dedication to charitable causes. \n This 5th of September\, the United Nations invites all Member States\, international and regional organisations\, non-governmental organisations and individuals alike to commemorate the International Day of Charity by encouraging charitable acts in their respective communities to raise public awareness of this event.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:World Humanitarian Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:On the 19th August each year we celebrate World Humanitarian Day. The purpose of World Humanitarian Day is to raise awareness of the plight of civilians around the world who have become caught up in conflicts\, and also honour and raise support for the humanitarian workers who risk\, and sometimes lose\, their lives to help. \n Over 130 million people throughout the world are currently in crisis\, either through war or natural disasters and are in need of humanitarian aid. \n World Humanitarian Day was established in 2008 by the United Nations General Assembly and was first officially celebrated in 2009. The date of 19th August was chosen as it marks the anniversary of the bombing of the Canal Hotel in Baghdad\, an event in which the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights\, Sergio Vieira de Mellothe and twenty others lost their lives. \n Each year a different theme is chosen for World Humanitarian Day and organisations worldwide get involved to honour this day in a range of ways\, from fundraisers to lectures and other events all aimed at raising awareness.

SUMMARY:National Airborne Day in the USA 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Airborne Day is a special day designated to honor the U.S. Airborne Forces and the first parachute jump of 48 volunteer members of the U.S. Army Parachute Test Platoon on August 16\, 1940. This day is annually observed on August 16. \n The use of parachutes was an innovative method of warfare during World War II. This gave the Allied an opportunity to deploy the troops behind enemy lines. The first parachute jump pioneered the way for future jumps and also marked the birth of new airborne forces\, that might play a vital role in military future. \n The U.S. Army conducted the first combat parachute jumps in November 1942: the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion 509th Parachute Infantry made a total of 93 combat jumps. These and other other soldiers formed the legendary 11th\, 13th\, 17th\, 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions\, that participated in many fights during World War II and other military conflicts after its end.Regarding the importance of the first successful parachute jump\, President of the USA George W. Bush created National Airborne Day in 2001. \n In 2009 Senate recognized National Airborne Day with Senate Resolution.

SUMMARY:National Allotments Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Many of you will have attended events in your local area as part of previous National Allotment Week’s to celebrate how important allotments and other open spaces are for you and your local community. Allotments have many benefits. They bring people together and unite them through their shared love of low-cost\, healthy fresh fruit and vegetables\, physical exercise and social interaction. \nAllotments are a valuable resource and both you as individuals and as community groups take immense pride in their up keep and produce. As allotment holders you are already active in your local community. However did you know that there are powers available that can help you and others in your local community shape and improve the neighbourhood in which you live? These powers\, known as Community Rights\, give recognition to valuable community assets such as allotments\, pubs\, local shops and community centres and can help ensure that these assets continue to be of benefit to local people. \nYou are able to list your allotment as an Asset of Community Value and this is where the Community Right to Bid comes in. It can help to protect vital community assets such as allotments in your neighbourhood. Allotments add to the wellbeing of local communities and you and your neighbours can therefore nominate your allotment to be put on a list of Assets of Community Value by your Local Authority. If an Asset of Community Value is then put up for sale\, local community groups can pause‚the sale for six months while they raise the funds to bid to buy it. \nNearly 100 allotments have been listed by local community groups across the country. Are you one of them? If so you can now apply for an ACV Certificate to celebrate your allotment. \nEmail community.assets@communities.gsi.gov.uk for more details about getting a personalised certificate for you to print out and display to let everyone know how much your allotment is valued by your local community. For more information about assets of community value and how to protect them please visithttp://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/community-asset-ownership/ \nThe Department for Communities and Local Government has also produced a simple guide to community rights called You’ve got the power?’ \nYou can also have your say in the way your neighbourhood develops in the future. Neighbourhood planning enables local communities to shape the places where you live and work. Over 1400 communities have started neighbourhood planning in their area and around a third of the neighbourhood plans which are now in force include policies on allotments. If you’re interested to find out how you can get started\, there’s lots of information here: http://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/neighbourhood-planning/ \nIf you’re involved in your local area\, you can also join the My Community Network to chat to experts and connect with others who are also passionate about their community. Through the Network\, you get: \nAccess to live discussions and expert advice on the forum \nInspiration and tips from other people from across the country \nQuick responses to questions about community activity and programmes \nNetworking with like-minded and experienced people \nCoaching and mentoring from experts in the field \nInvitations to free learning hubs and event

SUMMARY:Coast Guard Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated annually on August 4th\, Coast Guard Day commemorates the anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Coast Guard as the Revenue-Marine in 1790. On August 4\, 1790 Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton established the Revenue-Marine to serve as an armed customs enforcement service. In 1894\, it was renamed the Revenue Cutter Service. In 1915\, it merged with the U.S. Life-Saving Service. Thus the United States Coast Guard was formed. \n For those who dont know\, the Coast Guard is an all important maritime first responder; “the principal Federal agency responsible for maritime safety\, security\, and environmental stewardship in U.S. ports and waterways”. \n The Coast Guards are one of the five Armed Services of the United States\, and the only military branch within the Department of Homeland Security. In addition to its role as an Armed Service\, the Coast Guard is a first responder and humanitarian service that provides aid to people in distress or impacted by natural and man-made disasters whether at sea or ashore. The Coast Guard is a member of the Intelligence Community\, and is a law enforcement and regulatory agency with broad legal authorities associated with maritime transportation\, hazardous materials shipping\, bridge administration\, oil spill response\, pilotage\, and vessel construction and operation. \n Coast Guard Day is mainly an internal event\, however we feel that such is the importance of the work that is carried out byt he Coast Guard\, more should be done to thank\, honor and celebrate them. It is celebrated primarily by Coast Guardsmen\, both active duty and reserve\, as well as retirees\, civilian employees\, dependants\, and auxiliarists. Coast Guard units across the country organize picnics and sport competitions. So why not show your appreciation for those people involved and the service they provide and support any local events that may take place\, or simply educate others about the work they do?

SUMMARY:Yorkshire Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Named after the biggest county in England (if you unite North\, South\, West and East Riding of Yorkshire\, which is sort of cheating)\, it’s no surprise that Yorkshire Day is a thing. As an area on the up and up\, it’s becoming one of the most important places in the UK\, as the likes of Leeds\, Hull\, Bradford have become prominent as centres of finance\, culture and much more. \nSo\, whether you’re from Yorkshire or not\, celebrate like one of the locals on August 1st by donning your flat cap\, walking the damp countryside with your whippet\, eating a Yorkshire pudding with gravy\, then settling down to complain about the rising price of a pint of best bitter\, ending the night on a cheerier note by remembering the good old days.

SUMMARY:World Friendship Day / International Day Of Friendship 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Friendship Day\, also known as International Day of Friendship takes place on 30th July. \n The original idea for a day of friendship came from Hallmark cards in the 1930’s. Originally celebrated on 2nd August\, the day was largely viewed cynically by the public as a money making exercise\, sales of friendship day cards did not take off in Europe and by the mid-1940’s the day had faded into obscurity in the USA. The idea of a day to honour friendship was\, however\, adopted by a number of countries in Asia where it remained a popular custom to reserve a day for celebrating friendships and the exchange of gifts between friends. \n The first World Friendship Day was proposed for 30 July 1958 by the World Friendship Crusade\, an international civil organisation that campaigns to foster a culture of peace through friendship. Many years later\, in 2011\, the 30th July was declared as the International Day of Friendship by the General Assembly of United Nations. \n With the growing popularity of social media throughout the world\, there has been an increase in celebrating World Friendship day and International Day of Friendship online as well as with community activities in local communities aimed at bringing those of different backgrounds together.

SUMMARY:World Day against Trafficking in Persons 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Day against Trafficking in Persons is held on July 30th each year\, and is an annual event. People trafficking and modern day slavery is a massive worldwide problem with very few countries immune to human trafficking\, and the event by the United Nations is to raise awareness and increase prevention of that. \n Thousands of men\, women and children end up in the hands of traffickers every year\, often through being tricked and mislead to believe that they are being taken to work that will make their family better off\, or through force\, kidnap\, or even through very poor families selling children in order to survive. There are many ways that people get caught up in trafficking\, but the result is the same\, they lose their rights and identity and are used and abused\, and it is a global problem\, an industry not far behind drugs and arms in terms of profit for traffickers. \n Trafficked people are forced to work\, often doing hard labour or prostitution\, for no reward\, and usually have their identity and documents removed from them and are warned of terrible punishments if they escape\, and often they are taken to unfamiliar countries where they don’t know the language and have no way of getting help\, some die and are never heard of again by their families and communities. \n A global problem like trafficking needs a global solution\, which is why the United Nations organise the World Day against Trafficking in Persons\, to raise awareness encourage vigilance and gain support for prevention of human trafficking\, and also why they have produced a protocol to punish human trafficking and are hoping to implement this globally\, as well as an act to protect victims of trafficking.

SUMMARY:National Marine Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Running from the 23rd of July to the 7th of August\, to take advantage of the tides\, National Marine Week is a chance to celebrate the wonderful wildlife found in the seas around the UK\, and our relationship with this incredible habitat that surrounds us. \nWildlife Trusts around the UK will be holding sea-themed events\, from snorkelling through the waters of Wembury Bay in Devon\, to exploring the rockpools of Yorkshire’s Boggle Hole on a seashore safari\, or even picnicking with a porpoise on the clifftops of North Wales. \nNo matter where you are in the UK\, there’s plenty to celebrate: our seas are home to over half of all our wildlife (more than 30\,000 species)\, contribute to flood management and water purification\, and provide the oxygen for every other breath you take! \nAnd remember\, in the UK you’re never more than 70 miles from the sea. \nLearn more about events and how you can get involved on our National Marine Week page.

SUMMARY:Ask an Archaeologist Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 #AskAnArchaeologist Day will be on Friday 22 July 2022 – get your questions ready! \n#AskAnArchaeologist Day on Twitter is an official part of the CBA Festival of Archaeology and is a chance for people from all over the world to ask archaeologists questions\, and an opportunity for archaeologists to share their knowledge. \nAnyone with access to Twitter can ask a question using the #AskAnArchaeologist hashtag and any archaeologist who has an answer is encouraged to respond. \nThe idea is based on the hugely successful #AskACurator day\, set up by Mar Dixon\, which has run for several years on Twitter. The team at National Trust Midlands came up with the idea for the same sort of day for Archaeology\, and so #AskAnArchaeologist Day was born. \nThe first #AskAnArchaeologist day was in 2018 and was very successful. People from all over the world took part with lots of fascinating questions and discussions taking place. There’s nothing too formal about the day and there’s no such thing as a silly question – whatever you want to know about archaeology\, ask away and someone will (hopefully) know the answer. \nThat’s it really! In the meantime\, spread the word and get thinking of questions (or polishing up your answers).

SUMMARY:World Day for International Justice 2022
DESCRIPTION:Every year on July 17\, World Day for International Justice is observed all around the world. \n The aim of the day is to promote international criminal justice and as a way of supporting the work of the ICC. \n What is the ICC? \n ICC stands for the International Criminal Court. It came about when 120 states adopted a statute in Rome. It was known as the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (“the Rome Stature”). All the countries that agreed to adopt the statute were accepting the jurisdiction of the ICC\, with regards the prosecution of very serious crimes. The idea was not for the ICC to replace national courts. It is only able to intervene when a country can’t or won’t carry out investigations and prosecute perpetrators. \n The Aim of International Justice Day \n The aim of this day is to unite everyone who wants to support justice as well as promote victims rights. It is to help prevent serious crimes and those that put the peace\, security and well-being of the world at risk. \n How You Can Mark the Day \n There are a number of different ways you can play a part. Why not write an article or a blog to highlight the need for justice where you live? You could send a communication to your local elected representative and voice your opinion. Speak to members of your government. Or take part in one of the many events that will be held in cities around the world.

SUMMARY:World Youth Skills Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Young people are almost three times more likely to be unemployed than adults and continuously exposed to lower quality of jobs\, greater labor market inequalities\, and longer and more insecure school-to-work transitions. In addition\, women are more likely to be underemployed and under-paid\, and to undertake part-time jobs or work under temporary contracts. \n That is why education and training are key determinants of success in the labor market. But unfortunately\, existing systems are failing to address the learning needs of many young people\, and surveys of learning outcomes and skills show that a large number of youth have low levels of achievement in basic literacy and numeracy. Skills and jobs for youth feature prominently in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\, and SDG target 4.4 calls for a substantial increase in the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills.

SUMMARY:National Simplicity Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Simplicity Day was founded in honour of Henry David Thoreau\, who was born on July 12\, 1817. Thoreau was an advocate of living simply and wrote a number of well known books on the subject. \n In the complicated world that we inhabit today where mobile phone’s\, laptops and other modern day gadgets mean that we very rarely experience true peace and quiet to gather our thoughts\, what better excuse to leave the technology at home and experience the feeling of truly being in the moment. \n Happy National Simplicity Day!

SUMMARY:World Population Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:A Special Day to Raise Awareness of Population Issues \n July 11th every year is World Population Day. This event has been celebrated for almost three decades and the aim is to focus the world’s attention on the importance of population issues. \n The Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended its introduction in 1989. Inspiration for this special day comes from the interest that was raised by “Five Billion Day” on 11th July\, 1987. This was the day when the world’s population reached 5 billion. \n In 1968\, the International Conference on Human Rights was held. For the first time ever\, family planning was affirmed to be a human right. The Tehran Proclamation\, adopted during the conference\, states that it is a basic right of parents to be able to decide on the number and spacing of their children. \n Millions of women\, globally\, are still not given access to safe and effective family planning methods. Which is why it has been chosen as the focus for previous years. A basic human right is to be able to get safe and effective family planning. It should also be a voluntary choice. Gender equality and women’s empowerment depend on it. Further more\, it is a key factor in reducing poverty.

SUMMARY:Canada Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Far from a celebration of independence\, Canada Day marks the anniversary of Canada being united into one country as part of the British Empire\, combining the three areas of Canada\, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick into a shiny new package. No longer a dominion of the UK but a proud member of the Commonwealth\, Canada still retains the Queen as its head of state\, putting Liz’s face on their dollars. \n If you’re Canadian or know someone who is\, you’ll have plenty to look forward to wherever you are in the world. Canada’s famously friendly folk host parties\, concerts\, carnivals\, festivals and so much more to mark Canada Day\, and some people even celebrate citizenship ceremonies.

SUMMARY:Children's Art Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:29 June – 19 July 2022 \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 2022\, 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 2022! 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.

SUMMARY:International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking 2022
DESCRIPTION:Yes\, it may not have the snappiest title but the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is a key plank in the United Nations’ war on drugs. \n Originally instigated by a resolution of a special session on drugs of the UN’s General Assembly in 1987\, the annual awareness day was founded to mark the centenary of China’s early efforts to combat the trade in opium – widely regarded as the start of the international war on drugs. \n Celebrated each year on June 26th\, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime uses the commemorative day to highlight the dangers of drug use and their illegal trade and provides educational material to teachers and public officials all over the world to help spread the message about the extreme cultural and economic harm the trade in drugs is still doing across the globe one hundred years after the war on drugs was initially launched in Shanghai around the start of the 20th Century. \n The importance of the strategy was reinforced when the UN decided to hold a General Assembly on drugs to mark a milestone in the progress of an earlier policy document which called on members states to combat both drug demand and supply\, while improving access to treatment for addicts. \n

SUMMARY:World Sand Dune Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:A World Sand Dune Day is being setup to highlight the importance of sand dunes. \nHealthy dunes provide habitats for a wealth of rare and specialised wildlife. These include a range of wildflowers\, bryophytes\, invertebrates and insects who require bare sand habitat to survive.Coastal sand dunes are also beautiful and important landscapes for communities\, both as recreational spaces allowing personal connection with nature\, and as places filled with cultural heritage and celebrated sites of historic renown. \nOver the last 80 years\, open sand has largely disappeared from UK sand dunes\, being replaced by dense grass and scrub. This change has been caused by factors such as the introduction of non-native plants\, lower levels of grazing\, climate change and air pollution. As the dunes have become more stable and overgrown\, rare wildlife has declined. \nThe day is being set up by the Twyni Byw-Sands of LIFE and Dynamic Dunescapes projects. These are two projects working to protect sand dunes and the wildlife that depends upon them. Events are still currently at planning stage\, but you can keep in touch by visiting their twitter accounts: @TwyniByw and @DynamicDunes. The hashtag for the day will be #WorldSandDuneDay. \nSands of LIFE (LIFE17 NAT/UK/000023) is a major conservation project to revitalise sand dunes across Wales. It will recreate natural movement in the dunes and rejuvenate habitats which are home to some of our rarest wildlife. The £4 million project\, led by Natural Resources Wales (NRW)\, will restore over 2400 hectares of sand dunes\, across four Special Areas of Conservation\, on 10 separate Welsh sites. The project has received 75% funding from the LIFE Programme of the European Union\, with the Welsh Government providing 25% match funding. \nDynamic Dunescapes (HG-16-08643; LIFE17 NAT/UK/000570-DuneLIFE) is a partnership project rejuvenating sand dunes in England and Wales. Project partners are Natural England\, Plantlife\, Natural Resources Wales\, National Trust and The Wildlife Trusts. The project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the EU LIFE Programme. For more information visit http://www.dynamicdunescapes.co.uk

SUMMARY:Day of the Seafarer 2022
DESCRIPTION:June 25 is the Day of the Seafarer\, an annual and international event day coordinated by the International Maritime Organisation. \n Last year’s Day of the Seafarer celebrated seafarers and let the world know how and why seafarers are indispensable to everyone. This year the Day will recognise the unique contribution made by seafarers from all over the world to international seaborne trade\, the world economy and civil society as a whole\, with the theme Seafarers Matter’. \n The day recognises the unique and vital role of seafarers in the global community\, and the United Nations recognise the Day of the Seafarer as an observance day. \n The Day of the Seafarer was established in 2010 by by a resolution adopted at a diplomatic conference in Manila. The revised International Convention on Standards of Training\, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW)\, the original STCW was to ensure an international standard of competency and welfare for seafarers\, for their safety\, and the revision was to ensure the upholding of the Day of the Seafarer as part of this. The convention’s aim was to recognise the contribution by seafarers to society and economy globally. \n The resolution encourages governments\, shipping firms\, companies associated with sea trade and others\, to promote and uphold sea trade and seafarers through the Day of the Seafarer. \n The day encourages international public and official conversation about seafarers and seafaring\, and the well-being of those involved in it\, and interactive media relating to the Day of the Seafarer has proved extremely popular around the world\, for example quizzes and interactive maps\, videos and photo galleries\, and social media hashtags and discussions. The day aims to see events run in ports and seafarer centres as well as online. \n Leading up to the 25 June\, seafarers are being invited to answer questions on what a fair future for seafarers looks like. The answers will be shared afterwards and will provide a soundboard to help guide our actions moving forward. Polls are available on all IMO social media platforms.

SUMMARY:World Female Ranger Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is World Female Ranger Week?\nAdventurer Holly Budge launches World Female Ranger Week (June 23-30th\, 2022) to amplify the impact of female wildlife rangers on a global stage. This ground-breaking global awareness week\, spearheaded by international NGO\, How Many Elephants (HME) celebrates and supports female wildlife rangers – They’re bold\, changing the game and paving the way for women to stand alongside men at the forefront of conservation\, but they need allies.\n\nThe pioneering World Female Ranger Week (WFRW) includes online and live events\, plus a fundraising platform – http://www.worldfemalerangerweek.org – to raise vital funds for the ranger teams and share their stories. \nThe founder of How Many Elephants and World Female Ranger Week\, Holly Budge says\, “having patrolled with multiple ranger teams in Africa\, I’ve seen first-hand how these bold women are impacting lives; Protecting wildlife\, uplifting communities and empowering other women. WFRW highlights the significant gender imbalance in environmental conservation. My team and I will continue collating gender-specific data about female rangers globally\, enabling us to identify their needs\, find tangible solutions and help build effective policies to contribute towards positive outcomes; for female rangers and conservation as a whole.” \nAs champions of wildlife conservation\, as role models\, as educators and as beacons of hope\, female rangers are not only transforming attitudes towards the role of women around the world; they are showing the capabilities and success of females in traditionally male roles. However\, less than 11% of the global wildlife ranger workforce is female. With women being natural communicators\, protectors and investing their earned income in their families\, bringing gender equality into the workforce enhances community conservation efforts and relationships. Over the last two years\, the pandemic has crippled tourism and funding for conservation projects globally. The lack of tourists visiting National Parks has led to many rangers losing their jobs or having significant salary cuts. The knock-on effect of this is huge. For example\, one ranger in Africa may support up to 16 family members. Additionally\, reduced vigilance in tourist hotspots has left wildlife even more vulnerable to poaching. \nSo\, the often-challenging work of rangers is paramount right now. Day and night\, female rangers patrol wilderness areas\, monitoring wildlife\, seizing snares\, working with communities and in some cases\, arresting poachers\, all to save iconic species from extinction. They are away from their families for long periods\, sometimes facing workplace security issues and battling social stigma. Many of these inspirational women have overcome adversity\, poverty and marginalisation. Becoming a ranger has empowered them\, turned them into breadwinners and property owners\, and has allowed them access to higher education and much-needed healthcare. They need our support to continue their vital work. \n\nWhen is World Female Ranger Week? \nJune 23rd-30th 2022 (and annually)\nHow to get involved in World Female Ranger Week?\n\nWorld Female Ranger Week is seeking long-term strategic partnerships with companies\, associations\, and global citizens to expand the campaign’s reach to strengthen the support of female rangers. Businesses and individuals can set up fundraising pages via worldfemalerangerweek.org. \nFor updates\, follow @worldfemalerangerweek on Instagram and Facebook\, @femalerangerwk on Twitter\, or use hashtag\, #worldfemalerangerweek.

SUMMARY:International Women In Engineering Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:International Women in Engineering Day is an international awareness campaign to raise the profile of women in engineering and focus attention on the amazing career opportunities available to girls in this exciting industry. It celebrates the outstanding achievements of women engineers throughout the world. \nTaking place annually on 23 June\, National Women in Engineering Day was launched for the first time in the UK in 2014 by the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) to celebrate its 95th anniversary. Since that launch the day has grown enormously over the subsequent years to the point where it received UNESCO patronage in 2016. In 2017\, National Women in Engineering Day became international for the first time due to the interest and enthusiasm developed by the international audience and participants in the previous years. International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) was born to allow the celebration of women in engineering to become global. In previous years we’ve aimed to encourage all groups (Governmental\, educational\, corporate\, Professional Engineering Institutions\, individuals and other organisations) to organise their own events in support of the day\, and link them together for maximum impact through the use of the INWED logo/campaign\, corresponding website\, and supporting resources. \nTarget Groups: \nGovernment\nEducation\nCorporate\nProfessional Engineering Institutions\nOther companies and organisations in the Sector\nIndividuals\nYoung people’s groups\nSpecial interest networks and groups\nPress \nWe suggest organisers get as much publicity for their events as possible\, to get engineering‚ and girls‚ (or women!) into the same sentence as often as possible\, and to start to raise the profile of an engineering career as a great choice\, with an exciting future\, and amazing opportunities.

SUMMARY:National Indigenous Peoples Day 2022 (Canada)
DESCRIPTION:National IndigenousPeoples Day (French: Journe nationale des Autochtones) is a day recognising and celebrating the cultures and contributions of the First Nations\, Inuit and Metis peoples of Canada. The day was first celebrated in 1996\, after it was proclaimed that year by then Governor General of Canada Romo LeBlanc\, to be celebrated on 21 June annually. \n21 June was chosen as the statutory holiday for many reasons-including its cultural significance as the Summer solstice\, and the fact that it is a day on which many Aboriginal groups traditionally celebrate their heritage.

SUMMARY:World Music Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Music Day is a connected set of free public events which takes place each year on the 21st June\, our midsummer. Each year there are events in over 120 countries and 700 cities around the world\, not including France where there were too many events to count! \nCheck out some photos from last years events \n  \nThe event is also known as Fete de la Musique  and originated in France in 1982. Since then the idea has spread across the globe with each event holding to the same simple set of principles: that the day is held on the mid-summer solstice and that all concerts and events are free and accessible to the public. \nTypically this means that the music is brought out onto the streets\, though venues are also encouraged to get in on the act!

SUMMARY:World Humanist Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Humanists around the world celebrate World Humanist Day every year on 21st June. The day of the June solstice\, a day symbolised by gatherings\, it is an occasion for Humanists to promote the values they hold. Activities ranging from parties\, conferences and activist gatherings will be staged in countries across the globe to promote the Humanist view. \n Humanism embraces the value of the human\, promoting critical thinking over dogma. Typically secular and democratic in approach\, humanists look to human experience and rational thinking for knowledge and values. World Humanist Day originally began in America in the 1980s\, but has since grown in to a worldwide event recognising the global nature of Humanist thought. \n On the day many activities will take place across the world. From proclamations to ceremonies\, parties to videos and conferences\, World Humanist Day is an opportunity to publicise Humanism\, to reach out to the media and educate. Different themes may be adopted in different countries but each to the same aim\, to improve awareness of Humanist thinking and Humanist values. \n Money and awareness may be raised for a free-thought group in another country\, illustrating the solidarity of the movement. With June 21st being summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere many participants will take to the outdoors to mark the day\, either with a party or even a picnic\, encouraging families to get involved and learn all about the ethical values of humanism.

SUMMARY:National School Sport Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:For National School Sport Week 2022 we’re campaigning to ensure there is a place for every young person to belong in school sport. \nJoin us in our mission to guarantee there is a role for every young person in a school sports day this summer. \nOur theme for 2022: Belonging – a place in sport for every child \nSchool sport should be an important part of every child’s education and development – every child should feel they have a place to belong. \nBut for too many children this isn’t happening. They are left feeling alienated by sport\, that it isn’t for them and they don’t have a place within it. \nAfter the huge disruption of the past two years\, the inequalities in young people’s health and activity levels have got worse. \nThere is so much that all young people can gain from school sport – connecting with others\, developing important life skills and improving both their physical and mental health. \nJoin us this National School Sport Week in our drive to make sure that\, when it comes to school sport\, there is a place for every child.

SUMMARY:Refugee Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Refugee Week takes place every year across the world in the week around World Refugee Day on the 20 June. In the UK\, Refugee Week is a nationwide programme of arts\, cultural and educational events that celebrate the contribution of refugees to the UK\, and encourages a better understanding between communities. \nRefugee Week started in 1998 as a direct reaction to hostility in the media and society in general towards refugees and asylum seekers.

Past events have included arts festivals\, exhibitions\, film screenings\, theatre and dance performances\, concerts\, football tournaments and public talks\, as well as creative and educational activities in schools. \nThrough Refugee Week we aim to provide an important opportunity for asylum seekers and refugees to be seen\, listened to and valued. \nJoin us in celebrating Refugee Week!

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Refugee Day is held on June 20th. This is an annual event\, held on the same date each year. \nWorld Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees\, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster. \nRefugees are vulnerable and in need\, and are often misunderstood and maligned\, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food\, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

SUMMARY:Autistic Pride Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, organisations from across the globe celebrate Autistic Pride Day on June 18 with a variety of events. The aim of this day is to raise awareness amongst those who are not on the autistic spectrum disorder so they do not see autistic people as requiring treatment\, but as unique individuals. \nThis annual event was first celebrated by Aspies for Freedom in 2005 and they modelled Autistic Pride Day on the gay pride movement. One of the most significant aspects of the day is that it is not run by charities; it is run by autistic people themselves. Since its beginnings\, Autistic Pride Day has been a community event and not a day for other organisations to promote themselves by stifling autistic people. It is now a global celebration that takes place predominantly online. \nAutistic Pride Day is represented by the rainbow infinity symbol. This symbol is intended to represent the diversity of autistic people and the infinite possibilities and variations within the autistic community. \nAccording to representatives of Autistic Pride Day\, people with autism have unique characteristics that provide them with both rewards and challenges. Although many of the difficulties they face are because of their neurodiversity\, another factor is issues in society. For example\, society’s attitude towards autism is often one of pity or a belief that it is a condition requiring treatment. \nActivists want to shift attitudes away from this and towards acceptance and the realisation that autism is a difference rather than a disability.

SUMMARY:World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought 2022
DESCRIPTION:Since 1994\, June 17th has been the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought to draw public attention to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and it has been celebrated ever since. \nDesertification is an increasing ecological problem. It occurs when previously fertile land becomes desert through deforestation\, drought or improper agriculture. The Convention specifically covers the areas of the planet which are the most at risk of desertification. These areas are often home to some of the most vulnerable people and eco-systems. Each June 17th\, the World Day to Combat Desertification is promoted worldwide to raise public awareness of\, and support for\, international efforts in combating desertification and the effects of drought. \nThe 196 parties to the convention try to improve living conditions for people in these areas by restoring and maintaining the soil fertility and by mitigating the effects of drought. The parties encourage participation by local people on schemes to fight desertification and land degradation such as tree planting. They firmly believe that land degradation neutrality is possible though strong community involvement and cooperation at all levels. \nThe UNCCD Secretariat\, the country parties to the convention and its stakeholders try to educate the public about effective methods to work the land without causing degradation. The invested organisations celebrate the day by organising outreach programmes and by holding awareness raising events.

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Bug Busting Days:\nYou can choose any date that suits your timetable for a school Bug Busting Day\, but the most effective dates to take part are the National Bug Busting Days: 31 January\, 15 June and 31 October\, every year. Many schools across the country take part on these dates\, and by synchronizing Bug Busting across the country you can help prevent lice from circulating from head to head and back again. \nOften cases are light and easily missed and remain contagious if the Bug Busting wet combing method is not used.\nParents must learn to check the efficacy of any treatment choice because none guarantees a complete cure.

SUMMARY:Sewing Machine Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:A Day That Celebrates the Invention of the Sewing Machine\nHow many of you have heard of National Sewing Machine Day? We’d put money on there only being a few. Who is responsible for creating this unusual day? We really couldn’t find a culprit. What is its purpose? To celebrate the invention of the sewing machine of course. It is observed every year on June 13.\nWho Invented the Sewing Machine?\nThis is a much easier question to answer. It was English inventor Thomas Saint who applied for the first sewing machine patent\, in 1790. The design for Thomas’s sewing machine was never taken any further\, and there is no evidence that his machine for stitching leather and canvas was ever made. \nA working model of a sewing machine wasn’t made until 1874. A guy named William Newton Wilson found the drawings made by Saint in the Patent Office in London. He made some adjustments to the design and went on to build a working model. This model is now on display in the London Science Museum. \nSewing machines have been used in industrial settings for many years\, and it wasn’t all that long ago you would have found one in many people’s homes. They went out of fashion for several years\, with the influx of cheap manufactured clothes and furnishings. But are currently enjoying a bit of a revival. \nIf you want to celebrate National Sewing Machine Day\, the best way to do it is to get stitching and make something for yourself or your family.

SUMMARY:Brake's Kids Walk 2022
DESCRIPTION:It is every child’s right to be able to walk in their community without fear of traffic and pollution. Danger from traffic is a big factor in whether families are able to walk safely in the places where they live. It affects their ability to be healthy and socially active. \nChildren of all ages are at risk of being hurt or killed when walking near roads. On average\, six children are killed or seriously injured on roads in Britain every day – that’s equivalent to a whole class of children every single week. \nBrake’s Kids Walk is a great way to inspire and engage children about the dangers they face and raise awareness among parents and the wider community about the need to protect children on roads. \nIt’s also a great opportunity to fundraise for Brake and support families who have lost loved ones in road crashes.

SUMMARY:World Environment Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Environment Day is held on June 5th every year. It isn’t a public holiday\, it is an environmental awareness day\, run by the United Nations. It is sometimes also unofficially called Eco Day or Environment Day. The aim of the Day is to raise awareness of the environment and specific environmental issues. \nWorld Environment Day (WED) was established in 1972 but first held in 1974\, which shows that concern about the environment goes back several decades at least. 143 countries take part in World Environment Day\, and the day focuses on environmental concerns ranging from pollution to global warming and sustainable food production to protection of wildlife. \nEvery year there is a new main focus for WED. This year the focus is ‘Beat Plastic Pollution’\, and the press and media are already gearing up for this by reporting on events and efforts to reduce plastic pollution. \nParticipants of WED include NGOs\, governments\, communities\, individuals\, charities\, organizations and celebrities\, and together they raise awareness of environmental issues. Each year a country or Nation hosts WED\, and this year India is the host\, last year Canada hosted it\, and the theme was ‘Connecting People and Nature’. \nWorld Environment Day has had its own anthem since 2013. \nWorld Environment Day can be celebrated in many ways\, activities such as clear up campaigns are popular and will be prominent this year\, also concerts\, conventions and parades\, tree planting\, and lectures. Promotional materials for the day tend to be created using natural environmental colours.

SUMMARY:International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression 2022
DESCRIPTION:The International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression is an annual United Nations observance day on June 4th each year. \n The day was decided upon in August 1982 at a special assembly of the United Nations (UN)\, when member states recognised the significance of the impact of armed conflict on children and the need for action to be taken and awareness to be raised. The assembly adopted the 51/77 Resolution on the rights of the Child\, which was created out of already ongoing efforts to protect the rights of children in conflict. The impact of the war in Lebanon was the inspiration for this day. \n Violence against children in conflict zones has been increasing\, and up to 250 million children in countries affected by conflict are vulnerable. The UN recognizes that more needs to be done to protect the rights of these children and highlight their suffering. There are numerous harms to children in conflict\, including death\, sexual violence\, abduction\, denial of humanitarian access\, and attacks on schools and hospitals. \n International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression affirms the UN commitment to protecting the rights of children\, and the aim is to highlight the suffering of children who are victim to abuses as a result of conflict. It is an opportunity for the global public to learn about the suffering of children in conflict zones.

SUMMARY:Pride Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:An Annual LGBT Pride Celebration \nEvery year\, during the month of June\, the LGBT community celebrates in a number of different ways. Across the globe\, various events are held during this special month as a way of recognising the influence LGBT people have had around the world. Why was June chosen? Because it is when the Stonewall Riots took place\, way back in 1969. \nAs well as being a month long celebration\, Pride month is also an opportunity to peacefully protest and raise political awareness of current issues facing the community. Parades are a prominent feature of Pride month\, and there are many street parties\, community events\, poetry readings\, public speaking\, street festivals and educational sessions all of which are covered by mainstream media and attracting millions of participants. \nThe New York Pride Parade is one of the largest and most well known parades to take place\, with an estimated 500\,000 people participating in it by the time it had reached its 25th anniversary. \nPride Month is so important because it marks the start of huge change within the LGBT+ community\, as well as the wider societal implications. Although attitudes and injustice still remain\, we have come a long way since the riots of 1969 and by continuing in this long standing tradition we continue to raise awareness\, improve the attitudes of society and encourage inclusiveness. #Pride2022 \nWhat were the Stonewall Riots? \nThe riots were prompted by a raid that took place during the early morning\, at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village\, Manhattan. The LGBT community held a series of spontaneous\, often violent demonstrations to protest against the raid and calling for the establishment of places that gays and lesbians could go and be open about their sexual orientation. In such places there should be no fears of being arrested. The riots served as a catalyst for the rights of LGBT people\, and within 6 months\, 2 gay activist groups had formed in New York. Over the years since the event\, many gay rights organisations have been formed. Not just in the US but around the world. \nWhat is LGBT or Gay Pride? \nIt is a movement that celebrates sexual diversity. For lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people it is a way of protesting about discrimination and violence. It promotes their dignity\, equal rights\, self-affirmation and is a way of increasing society’s awareness of the issues they face. \nWho Started the June Celebration? \nKnown as the “Mother of Pride”\, it was Brenda Howard who coordinated the first LGBT Pride march. As well as sparking the idea for a week of events around Pride Day. These events then developed into the annual LGBT celebrations held every June.

SUMMARY:Volunteers Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers Week is celebrated between 1st and 7th June every year. It is a week in which the UK celebrates volunteers and says thank you to them for the contribution that they make. The week also raises awareness about the benefits becoming a volunteer and the diverse volunteering roles that are available. \nAs well as helping others\, Volunteering has been shown to have a positive impact on the lives of those who volunteer\, assisting volunteers in gaining new skills and boosting self-esteem. There are many voluntary organisations in the UK that rely on volunteers to help others. \nFirst established in 1984 by Volunteering England\, the event is now coordinated by NCVO (the National Council for Voluntary Organisations). During the week stories about volunteering are shared on social media and hundreds of celebrations and events take place. \nEvery Volunteers Week has a different theme which is designed to help organisations think about how they can successfully open up volunteering opportunities to all and increase diversity in their volunteer base and trustees. \nFurther information about Volunteers Week and information about becoming a volunteer can be found at www.volunteersweek.org

SUMMARY:World Milk Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Raise a glass to celebrate World Milk Day 2022 \nWe say Cheers’\, Mma manu’\, Yam sing‚to the parents who make sure there’s always a carton in the fridge\, to the hard working dairy farmers\, to the organisations who provide dairy supplements to help tackle famine and malnutrition\, to the huge network of people who help us to enjoy milk. \nAs we Raise a Glass to milk\, we connect with others and invite them to join the celebration that the goodness represents. It allows us to share the stories about all the goodness of milk and all the people who produce it. It offers a simple\, natural way to recognize the people who matter most to us ‚ in our communities\, schools and homes. \nBack in 2001\, somebody decided that the world should take a day to celebrate anything and everything related to milk. They requested that the FAO (the Food and Agriculture Organisations of the United Nations) should put forward a specific day for these festivities they selected June 1st\, and the rest his history! \nThe tradition of celebrating World Milk Day on June 1st came from the fact that many countries were already celebrating World Milk Day on or around this date. A date in late May was originally proposed\, but some countries felt that they already had too many holidays around this time. As a result\, June 1st became the special day dedicated to milk. \nWorld Milk Day puts a lot of attention on milk and does a great job in publicising activities connected with the milk industry. The fact that many countries around the globe all choose this specific day for World Milk Day shows that milk is a food that is cherished worldwide.

SUMMARY:International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers 2022
DESCRIPTION:Every May 29th\, the world celebrates the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers. \nThe United Nations Peacekeepers are a force made up of over 113\,000 people\, (though more than a million have served since it first started 70 years ago) both police forces and civilians. Created from 125 countries\, and serving in 14 missions all over the world currently. They are used to protect and care for civilians\, disarm ex-combatants\, ensure ceasefires are kept\, protect human rights\, the rules of law and supporting free and fair democracy. They also work tirelessly to make sure women’s voices are heard and growing in civilian\, military and political life. \nThe International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers was created to celebrate the people who serve with the force and veterans of the service\, pay tribute to those who have lost their lives trying to make the world a better place through the force and help bring awareness of this force for good in the world. While many are aware of the Peacekeepers\, very few are aware of what missions it carries out constantly. The budget for the force is also only less than 0.5% of the money spent in military worldwide. \nThis year alone\, they are present in C√¥te d’Ivoire\, Haiti\, Liberia\, Southern Sudan\, Mali and continue to work across the globe on removing landmines and explosives abandoned after wars. These explosives continue to be a problem for many people trying to put their lives back together after war and expand farmland\, create new communities and just explore.

SUMMARY:Oak Apple Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:As perhaps the most British day in the calendar\, Oak Apple Day has absolutely nothing to do with celebrating apples themselves and everything to do with the restoration of the monarchy\, following the rule of Oliver Cromwell and his anti-royal cohorts. Cromwell was a man so miserable that he banned Christmas\, and it was for this (but probably more the execution of Charles I) that he was dug up two years after he died and posthumously executed. What a time to be alive. \n Other names for Oak Apple Day include Restoration Day\, Royal Oak Day\, Shick Shack Day\, Packie Bonner Day\, Oak and Nettle Day\, and Yak Bob Day. Apart from Packie Bonner Day we made that one up using the name of the former Celtic and Ireland goalkeeper. But you’d believe it if we left it in\, wouldn’t you?

SUMMARY:National Children's Gardening Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Children’s Gardening Week celebrates the fun that gardens hold for kids. Children\, parents\, grandparents\, schools or garden businesses can find ideas for fun garden projects and activities on this site. \nChildren love growing plants\, love being in the garden but they’re often impatient\, wanting to see instant results. National Children’s Gardening Week aims to capture children’s enthusiasm at a time when results are immediate. National Children’s Gardening Week takes place annually in the ‘warm’ week at the end of May. \nThis means that pretty much throughout the UK they can plant all the popular plants with little fear of weather damage or the need for complicated protective growing. \nNational Children’s Gardening Week was the brainwave of Neil Grant\, Managing director of Ferndale Garden Centre near Sheffield who is also BBC Radio Sheffield’s garden expert and co-presenter of their weekly garden phone in\, and it’s widely supported by the whole of the UK garden industry. \nIt’s now an annual festival of fun that’s embraced in homes\, schools\, and community groups across the country\, and supports the amazing Greenfingers charity\, which is dedicated to providing magical gardens for children in hospices suffering from life limiting illnesses. \nTo get involved\, just have a look at the ‘Things to do’ section of the site. \nThe aim of NCGW is to get as many schools\, children and their families involved\, gardening and having fun in their gardens. 2018 was the first year that the HTA took the project on and it turned out to be very successful. The campaign put gardening project ideas in front of half a million of consumers through the website\, social media and in- store.

SUMMARY:World Hunger Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Everyone Deserves to Eat\, Support World Hunger Day 2022 \nIt has been estimated that almost 800 million people in the world don’t have enough food to eat. This is quite a staggering figure. In 2011\, The Hunger Project started an initiative known as World Hunger Day. Celebrating sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty is the aim of this day. \nWhat is The Hunger Project? \nIt is a global organisation committed to finding a tenable solution to world hunger. Leaders of this organisation include business executives\, heads of state and experts in women’s rights and social justice. It was founded in 1977 and is a worldwide\, non-profit group of like-minded people. \nWhat You Can do to Show Your Support \nOne of the most obvious ways is to make a donation to the The Hunger Project Trust. Money raised will go to help both men and women in developing countries become agents of their own development. There is a Social Media Toolkit that can be used for sharing posts on Facebook\, Twitter and Instagram. You can tell your friends about World Hunger Day and ask for their support. \nAre You Brave Enough to Try a Week Without Sugar? \nAnyone interested in showing their support is being encouraged to give up sugar for one week. That means no added\, processed sugar or artificial sweeteners. It won’t be easy but is a good way to show support for all the millions of people around the world who live below the poverty line and go to bed hungry every night.

SUMMARY:European Neighbours' Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Every Year at the End of May is European Neighbour’s Day \nNeighbour’s Day celebrations take place all over the world. The European Neighbour’s Day is held at the end of may and encourages residents groups and housing organisations to participate and organise their own individual events. \nWhat is the Goal of Neighbour’s Day? \nNeighbour’s day is organised by the European Federation of Local Solidarity. The aim of the day is to promote better community communication and cohesion. Social bonds are becoming thinner and people are leading more solitary lives. Neighbour’s Day is meant to counteract this and encourages people to have fun getting together. \nThe celebration was first launched in Paris in 2000. Ever since then\, more and more countries have been taking part. Last year\, for example\, there were more than 30 million participants from 36 different countries. \nHow You Can Take Part \nAll it takes to participate is the organising of a party with your neighbours. It could be in your own garden\, out in the street or in a local community hall. The idea is to get people together so that neighbours who rarely speak can talk to each other and have fun together. \nSupport is available from EFLS and there is even an award that housing associations\, organisers and mayors can put themselves forward for. A promotional video\, guide\, timetable and press kit is also provided for organisers needs.

SUMMARY:National Epilepsy Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:From May 24 to May 30\, National Epilepsy Week will be taking place to raise awareness for those affected by epilepsy\, what epilepsy is\, who’s affected and what can be done to help those who suffer from this condition. \n What is epilepsy? \n Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain and causes recurring seizures or fits in people. Due to an uncontrolled increase of excess electrical activity in the brain interfering with the normal functions\, this causes a short interruption to the relay of messages in the brain. \n Who’s affected? \n Approximately 500\,000 people in the England are diagnosed with epilepsy\, affecting people of all ages\, from newborns to the elderly. \n What can be done to help? \n Learning to recognise the symptoms of a seizure is a great place to start helping those affected\, as well as knowing what to do when a seizure occurs to minimise the harm done to both the person and those around them. You can also look into lobbying for more support for those affected by epilepsy\, so they can get the treatment and care they deserve. \n All in all\, epilepsy is a condition affecting more people than you might think\, and by knowing the early warning signs and what to do when a seizure occurs can make a big difference helping those affected by the chronic condition.

SUMMARY:National Conversation Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is National Conversation Week?\nNational Conversation Week is all about the simple\, pleasurable\, and rewarding art of simply talking to each other. \nWe’re very much a society that’s “always on” and\, unfortunately\, the art of human conversation is becoming lost in a sea of emojis\, swiping right (ask your single friends)\, chatbots\, and dwindling attention spans. \nWhether it’s keeping in touch with friends\, updating a colleague at work\, or trying to find the best insurance deal\, most of us are guilty of hiding behind a screen to send a quick text\, fire off an email\, post a social media message or search online rather than taking the take the time to speak with somebody. \nThat’s why we’re encouraging everyone in the UK to spend the week trying a little bit harder to engage with those around them be they a friend\, family member\, colleague\, or customer. We’re not asking you to throw away your phone and we’re not trying to send the UK back to the 90s (although arguably the music was better!). We simply want everyone to talk more. \nNational Conversation Week 2022 is focused on the inquisitive side of conversation\, the one that helps us gain an understanding of the world around us – asking questions. \nAsking questions is incredibly important\, as inquisitive conversations develop deeper knowledge and boost confidence\, as well expanding the human connection. However\, whether it’s concerns over wasting someone’s time\, admitting they don’t understand something or a general lack of self-assurance – for some people\, asking questions is a total no-go. \n\nWhen is National Conversation Week 2022?\nThis year’s National Conversation Week will be taking place from the 23rd – 29th May. \n\nHow to get involved in National Conversation Week.\nThroughout National Conversation Week and beyond\, we’re encouraging people to ask more questions – and most importantly\, combat the widespread fear around asking what they deem to be ‘stupid questions’. \nAsking questions is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value: it spurs learning and the exchange of ideas\, fuels innovation builds rapport and trust. \nSo\, next time there’s a question on the tip of your tongue\, go ahead and ask it. After all\, if you don’t ask\, you’ll never know. \nTo find out more about how you can get involved with National Conversation Week 2022\, visit www.nationalconversationweek.com

SUMMARY:Water Saving Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:The UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000. It was founded by American Tortoise Rescue. \nThe purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtle and tortoises. It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world. There are many people that dress as turtles while others may just decide to wear something green. People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face. It is also something that children enjoy getting involved in. \nAmerican Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Susan Tellem and Marshall Thompson. It is a nonprofit organisation that rescues and rehabilitates all species of tortoise and turtle. It also does a lot of work on protecting the environments in which these animals live. They will always try and find new homes for the animals but if this is not possible then they will remain in the care of the ATR.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2022
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. Bridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \n Cultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \n At the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \n In 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \n The day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \n Support sustainable systems of governance for culture \n Achieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals \n Integrate culture in sustainable development frameworks \n Promote human rights and fundamental freedoms

SUMMARY:National Defence Transportation Day in the USA 2022
DESCRIPTION:Every third Friday of May is National Defence Transportation Day in the USA. \nThis observance recognizes the contribution of men and women to the nation’s well-being and defence. National Defence Transportation Day does not have the status of public holiday\, it is only an observance. However it hosts a number of activities including educational expos on transport\, poster contest for schools\, different programs with guest speakers. \nNational Defence Transportation Day was introduced 1957\, when Congress designated the third Friday of May as the day it was recognized.

Appropriate ceremonies are held to recognize the importance of countries’ transportation system and maintenance of its facilities for needs of the U.S. in national defence and in the time of peace.

SUMMARY:International Museums Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:IMD (International Museum Day) is a global day celebration that takes place annually around or on 18 May. ICOM (International Council of Museums) coordinates this event. The event always highlights a theme that keeps changing each year that’s at the heart of the preoccupations of the international museum community. The International Museum Day gives the chance for professionals of museums to meet people and inform them about the challenges museums face. \nFollowing museums’ definition that ICOM provides\, a museum is a permanent\, non-profit institution that is in the service of society as well as its development. It’s open to the public to acquire\, conserve\, research\, communicate and exhibit the humanity tangible and intangible heritage plus its environment for enjoyment\, study and education purposes. Therefore\, IMD serves as a platform for raising public awareness on the part museums play today in the improvement of society\, on an international level. \nEach year since 1977\, ICOM has organised International Museum Day\, which represents a unique moment for the international museum community. \nThe objective of International Museum Day (IMD) is to raise awareness about the fact that\, “Museums are an important means of cultural exchange\, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding\, cooperation and peace among peoples.” Organised on 18 May each year or around this date\, the events and activities planned to celebrate International Museum Day can last a day\, a weekend or an entire week. IMD was celebrated for the first time 40 years ago. All around the world\, more and more museums participate in International Museum Day.

SUMMARY:National Stationery Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:If you think this is a celebration of not moving\, then your spelling needs a bit of work National Stationery Week is all about cheerleading the act of writing by hand\, and encouraging people from all around the globe to share details of their favourite pens\, pencils\, sharpeners\, and whatever fills their pencil cases. If they have one. It’s certainly an odd get-together\, but one that may be taking advantage of a shift in trends that may force people to abandon the venture of handwriting altogether. \nIn a world where people like us are typing this on a keyboard instead of writing it by hand\, it might be quite a good initiative; for all we know\, handwriting may be a trade as dead as lamp-lighting\, town crying or door-to-door sales. So\, get your Staedtler Noris school pencils\, your Helix 30cm rulers and your Bic for Her range of comfortable\, female-friendly medium ballpoint pens\, and go wild for a week.

SUMMARY:National Limerick Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Everybody needs a bit of silliness in their lives from time to time and National Limerick Day provides the perfect annual opportunity. Celebrated each year on the 12th May the familiar five line verse is renowned for its humorous\, sometimes bawdy themes. Instantly recognisable from the rhythm of the verse they are cleverly constructed to put a smile on the face. \n National Limerick Day is set on 12th May to mark the birthday of Edward Lear\, the English writer known for his works of nonsensical prose and poetry. It was Edward Lear who was to popularise the Limerick in his A Book of Nonsense\, published 1846. His limericks were popular then and this form of nonsense literature has managed to retain its appeal to this day. \n Limericks will normally have the first\, second and final lines ending with the same rhyme\, while the third and fourth shorter lines have their own rhyme as illustrated below: \n There was an Old Man with a beard\,\n Who said\, ‘It is just as I feared!\n Two Owls and a Hen\,\n Four Larks and a Wren\,\n Have all built their nests in my beard!’ \n This style of verse can act as a great introduction to the idea of poetry for children and National Limerick Day helps to maintain awareness of this brand of poem. Although limericks were not invented by Edward Lear\, holding National Limerick Day on his birthday is a suitable nod to the man who brought them to the larger public’s attention.

SUMMARY:Europe Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:In Brexit Britain\, it might now be a case of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted\, but for the 48 percent of people who want an excuse to fall out with family once again\, Europe Day seems as good a time as any to do it. \n Held on May 9th every single year\, Europe Day celebrates peace and unity across the continent in a non-sarcastic way and national and international political buildings throw open their doors and hold events for the public. \n The date was chosen as it was when French foreign minister Robert Schuman made the so-called Schuman declaration this speech in 1950 set out the idea that Europe usher in a whole new era of political cooperation in Europe\, just five years after the end of the Second World War.

SUMMARY:National Mills Weekend 2022
DESCRIPTION:  \nNational Mills Weekend is the annual festival of our milling heritage and provides you with a fantastic opportunity to visit mills\, many of which are not usually open to the public. \nIn 2022 it will take place online on the 7th and 8th May and we hope even more mills than in previous years will open their \ndoors and welcome visitors. Until the advent of the steam engine\, wind and watermills provided the only source of power for many different processes – from making flour\, paper\, cloth to hammering metal and extracting oils. You \ncan explore mills that produced\, or still produce these products\, some restored to working order\, some derelict\, some still working commercially. \nSearch for mills open in your area: \nTo find the mills open in your area\, search for your county in our Windmills and Watermills pages. Given the number of mills open\, we have divided the mills by their type – Windmills or Watermills. \nA new aid for visiting mills\, especially over National Mills Weekend. \nThose of you with Android on your phone can install a free app that means you can have the information from the website with you\, even when you are out and about\, quite possibly without an internet connection to contact the site. You can get it at: \nhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details \nThe app links with your other apps\, such as mapping to give you directions to the various mills\, and if you do have an internet connection\, you can use it to pull up more information about many of the mills from Windmill World and the Mills Archive. \nThe app will be updated as details of this year’s Mills Weekend are finalized at various mills.

SUMMARY:National Day of Reason 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Day of Reason is a secular celebration\, annually observed on the first Thursday in May. \nThis legal celebration was established for all atheists\, humanists and secularists\, who can’t celebrate National Day of Prayer. The dates of both days coincide. National Day of Prayer was created for all Americans to turn to God\, gather together and pray for peace and prosperity of the nation. However\, not all Americans consider themselves to be members of any religion and thus they can’t pray. National Day of Reason was created only for them to have a reason to celebrate. However\, this secular holiday also raises public awareness of the threat to religious liberty posed by American government intrusion into the private sphere of worship. \nNational Day of Reason was created in 2003 by the American Humanist Association. In 2005 the observance was strongly advocated by the Center for Atheism and they marked it with blood donation. During the next years the popularity of this observance grew. In 2011 and 2012 the representative Pete Stark supported the proclamation of National Day of Reason in the House of Representatives and the resolution to honor this day was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. \nDifferent events are organized by many associations on National Day of Reason. These events vary from blood donations and food drives to secular celebrations as alternatives to National Day of Prayer. Many individuals protest observance of National Day of Prayer.

SUMMARY:International Day Of The Midwife 2022
DESCRIPTION:Every year on May 5th\, the International Day of the Midwife takes place. While you’d think it was an incredibly long-marked awareness day\, it wasn’t made official until 1992\, when it was launched formally by the International Confederation of Midwives. Themes for the day have included healthy families\, newborn babies\, partnerships between midwives and mothers\, and leading the way with quality care. \n The IDM encourages midwives to make the day and raise money for good causes\, whether that’s by organising a concert or march\, setting up a stall to educate others on midwifery\, holding a meeting\, or even inviting a celebrity\, government minister or expert to speak or open an event.

SUMMARY:National Teacher Day in the USA 2022
DESCRIPTION:Teachers play a very important role in the development of every nation\, that’s why their work is appreciated in many countries around the world\, including the USA. National Teacher Day is celebrated in the USA annually since 1985. \nThe history of National Teacher Day can be traced back to 1944\, however\, its origin is murky. Mattye Whyte Woodridge\, a teacher from Arkansas\, had an idea of establishment a Teacher Day and around 1944 he started corresponding with educational and political leaders. \nHe insisted on the need for a national holiday to honor the work of teachers.Woodridge wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt to describe his idea\, and she persuaded the 81st Congress to proclaim a National Teacher Day. But there was still a long way ahead for it. \nThe National Education Association\, Kansas and Indiana states lobbied Congress to create the national holiday for all teachers. And finally\, Congress declared March 7\, 1980 to be National Teacher Day for that year only. \nThe National Education Association continued to observe the holiday in March\, till its Representative Assembly voted to change the date in 1985. The date of the event was moved to Tuesday during the first full week of May\, that is also Teacher Appreciation Week.

SUMMARY:Children's Book Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Recognised as the longest running national literacy initiative in the USA\, running since 1919\, there is absolutely tonnes of stuff to get involved with and encourage children to read and love books. \nThe event is so popular that the organizers run 2 different weeks of celebration and activity: \nMay 2-8\, 2022 and November 7-13\, 2022! \nEvents take place in schools\, libraries\, bookstores and within your own home should you choose! \nThe week long awareness campaign has a fascinating history. Initially set up by the librarian of the Boy Scouts of America\, who in turn recruited Frederic G. Melcher\, the visionary editor of Publishers Weekly who believed that “a great nation is a reading nation\,” and Anne Carroll Moore\, the Superintendent of Children’s Works at the New York Public Library and a major figure in the library world. Form then on\, Children’s Book Week grew and was supported and backed by more and more organizations with the Children’s Book Council leading the way since 1944. \nWe know that not all children enjoy reading\, but this is a superb opportunity to encourage those less interested as well as providing those who love reading to read a little bit more and share their love!

SUMMARY:Sun Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:The British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) currently runs a national campaign around skin cancer called Sun Awareness\, which includes National Sun Awareness Week in May. This campaign is overseen by the BAD’s Skin Cancer Prevention Committee\, comprised of leading medical professionals with expertise in skin cancer\, vitamin D and public health messaging. \nSun Awareness is the British Association of Dermatologists’ annual campaign to raise awareness of skin cancer. The campaign runs from April to September annually and includes Sun Awareness Week in May. The campaign is two-pronged and combines prevention and detection advice. The first aim is to encourage people to regularly self-examine for skin cancer. The second is to teach people about the dangers of sunburn and excessive tanning\, and to discourage people from using sun beds\, in light of the associated risks of skin cancer. In addition to public education about the dangers of sun bed use\, the BAD has also been involved in campaigning for legislation to regulate the sun bed industry and is continuing to push towards further and improved regulation. \nThis year’s Sun Awareness Week will be held from the 2nd-8th May 2022. \nIt’s quite easy to be safe when playing outside\, with the simplest and most important thing to do being putting on sun screen. Make sure you put on a hat\, or cover your skin. It’s the easy things like this that save your skin from harmful and painful damage caused by the sun when over-exposed. \nWhat damage can the sun cause? \nOver-exposure to the sun’s rays can cause serious damage to your body\, with two common types of cancers. One being non-melanoma\, and melanoma\, which is by far the most dangerous and deadly skin cancer. This simple reason is enough to look after your skin and stay in the shade and be safe in the sun. \nWho is affected? \nEveryone is affected by damage to the skin from the sun\, in fact last year\, 35% of people in the UK were burnt at least once\, with 28% of those being burnt more than three times during the year. \nSo this year\, remember to wear sunscreen\, wear a t-shirt\, stay in the shade and during Sun Awareness Week spread the word of sun safety and the dangers of over exposure!

SUMMARY:International Dance Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:UNESCO has a habit of reserving 24 hours for everything in the field of performing arts\, so it’s perhaps no surprise that there’s an annual International Dance Day. It has been earmarked as a celebration for anyone who attaches value and importance to dance\, and acts as a wake-up-call for governments\, politicians and institutions which have not yet recognised its value. \nWhile this sounds just a little bit overboard\, you’d be surprised at how many places frown upon or outright ban the act of dancing. Even in the US\, strict Southern Baptists don’t dance\, and this led to the famous hard work of Chicago teen Ren McCormack\, who proved them wrong and overcame the community through the medium of dance in the hard-hitting 1984 documentary Footloose.

SUMMARY:World Malaria Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Malaria Day is held each year on April 25th. This annual event is a worldwide effort\, to raise awareness of Malaria and funds for the treatment and prevention of malaria. The day works to highlight the need for better political intervention in malaria control and prevention. The day also marks the continuing great achievements in the fight against Malaria. \nLast year’s theme for World Malaria Day was ‘End Malaria for Good’ and the day is hosted by the World Health Organization. \nThe World Health Organization is putting prevention of malaria to the forefront in this event\, with the aim of reducing the massive global death toll of 400\,000 people to Malaria every year. Efforts to highlight prevention has been reducing the death toll\, especially through the use of insecticide and mosquito nets\, as mosquitos are the most common carriers and spreaders of Malaria. The continued campaign of prevention is proving effective and saving lives\, but there is still a long way to go. \nWorld Malaria Day and continued awareness and prevention\, as well as lobbying for better political support must continue and increase in order to eradicate the disease and prevent deaths from it. Investment and interest from governments is essential for this continued fight against Malaria and related deaths.

SUMMARY:Saint George's Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:So here it is: another opportunity for red-blooded English people\, and a handful of tabloids\, to complain that St George’s Day isn’t a national holiday. That said\, they might have a point a mere 600+ years ago\, it was a holiday on par with Christmas in the UK. Known to have defeated a dragon which almost certainly didn’t exist\, St George was most famously killed for refusing to recant his Christian faith\, effectively opening the door to sainthood. In England\, the occasion is still quite the lacklustre affair indeed\, St Patrick’s Day probably gets more people in the pubs. \n But for those looking to *really* celebrate St George\, he isn’t just the preserve of England; he’s particularly popular in Portugal\, Spain\, Bulgaria and even Russia\, for all manner of reasons and they all host events in his honour. In Georgia\, the St George Cross features prominently in the country’s flag though contrary to popular belief\, the nation wasn’t named after the man himself.

SUMMARY:World Book Night 2022
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve never found a book you’ve liked\, there’s a good chance that you’ve not tried that many books and World Book Night is here to prove to both children and adults that there are plenty of opportunities to get lost in a good book. Every year\, the occasion is coordinated by the Reading Agency\, a national charity that aims to help people become confident and enthusiastic readers. \n World Book Night celebrates both reading and books every year on April 23rd\, when books are distributed throughout the UK to specifically\, but not exclusively\, reach those who don’t often get the opportunity to read – hospitals\, prisons\, homeless shelters and care homes are a particular focus. Those who love a good book are asked to give out their own books to similarly affected people in their own communities or the wider UK. \n For the past 6 years World Book Night has also been celebrated in the USA as well as the UK and Ireland\, with almost 50\,000 people giving away a million books across the three different countries.

SUMMARY:International Dark-Sky Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration\, learning\, and action! \n2022 International Dark Sky Week is\, April 22 – 30th! \nCreated in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow\, International Dark Sky Week has grown to become a worldwide event and a key component of Global Astronomy Month. Each year it is held in April around Astronomy Day. \nIn explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. I want to help preserve its wonder. \nInternational Dark Sky Week draws attention to the problems associated with light pollution and promotes simple solutions available to mitigate it. \nAlso read 5 Ways to Celebrate Dark Sky Week! \nLight Pollution Matters \nThe nighttime environment is a crucial natural resource for all life on Earth\, but the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting has hidden the stars\, radically changing the nighttime environment. \nBefore the advent of electric light in the 20th century\, our ancestors experienced a night sky brimming with stars that inspired science\, religion\, philosophy\, art and literature including some of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. \nThe common heritage of a natural night sky is rapidly becoming unknown to the newest generations. In fact\, millions of children across the globe will never see the Milky Way from their own homes. \nWe are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. \nFor nocturnal animals in particular\, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds\, sea turtle hatchlings\, and insects. \nHumans are not immune to the negative effects of light in their nighttime spaces. Excessive exposure to artificial light at night\, particularly blue light\, has been linked to increased risks for obesity\, depression\, sleep disorders\, diabetes and breast cancer.

SUMMARY:International Mother Earth Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:International Mother Earth Day is celebrated to remind each of us that the Earth and its ecosystems provide us with life and sustenance. \n It also recognizes a collective responsibility\, as called for in the 1992 Rio Declaration\, to promote harmony with nature and the Earth to achieve a just balance among the economic\, social and environmental needs of present and future generations of humanity. \n International Mother Earth Day provides an opportunity to raise public awareness around the world to the challenges regarding the well-being of the planet and all the life it supports. \n Education is the foundation for progress. We need to build a global citizenry fluent in the concepts of climate change and aware of its unprecedented threat to our planet. We need to empower everyone with the knowledge to inspire action in defense of environmental protection. \n Environmental and climate literacy is the engine not only for creating green voters and advancing environmental and climate laws and policies but also for accelerating green technologies and jobs.

SUMMARY:Easter Sunday 2022
DESCRIPTION:The week before Easter is called Holy Week\, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum\, including Maundy Thursday\, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper\, as well as Good Friday\, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. In western Christianity\, Eastertide\, the Easter Season\, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts seven weeks\, ending with the coming of the fiftieth day\, Pentecost Sunday. In Orthodoxy\, the season of Pascha begins on Pascha and ends with the coming of the fortieth day\, the Feast of the Ascension. \n Easter and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Juliancalendars which follow only the cycle of the sun; rather\, its date is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established two rules\, independence of the Jewish calendar and worldwide uniformity\, which were the only rules for Easter explicitly laid down by the council. No details for the computation were specified; these were worked out in practice\, a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies. It has come to be the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or soonest after 21 March\, but calculations vary in East and West. Details of this complicated computation are found below in the section Date. \n Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism\, as well as by its position in the calendar. In many languages\, the words for “Easter” and “Passover” are identical or very similar. Easter customs vary across the Christian world\, and includesunrise services\, exclaiming the Paschal greeting\, clipping the church\, and decorating Easter eggs\, a symbol of the empty tomb. The Easter lily\, a symbol of the resurrection\, traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide. Additional customs that have become associated with Easter and are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians include egg hunting\, the Easter Bunny\, and Easter parades. There are also various traditionalEaster foods that vary regionally.

SUMMARY:World Voice Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:WVD (World Voice Day) is a global annual event held on 16 April dedicated to the phenomenon of voice celebration. The aim is to show the enormous value of the voice in the people’s daily lives. Voice is an important aspect of healthy and effective communication. The WVD brings worldwide awareness of the necessity of preventing voice issues\, training the artistic voice\, rehabilitating the sick or deviant voice as well as researching the application and function of the voice. \n The World Voice Day goal is to encourage people using their voice for pleasure or business to learn how they can take care of their voice plus know how they can seek help as well as training and also support research that is carried on the voice. The production of voice is normally studied and applied in lots of disciplines like biology\, art\, phonetics\, psychology\, physics\, music\, speech-language pathology and medicine. \n The idea to dedicate a special day\, annually on 16 April to the voice was first launched in the year 1999 by the Society of Laryngology & Voice in Brazil. In 2002\, Professor Mario Andre\, the Portuguese laryngologist\, then the European Laryngological Society president\, suggested that people all over the world should celebrate World Voice Day. \n That idea was developed further and adopted in different nations. In 2012\, Dr Filipa L√£ from Portugal\, Prof. Tecumseh Fitch from Austria and Prof. Johan Sundberg from Sweden\, who were all voice researchers\, invited voice experts from several nations to form a global group for the World Voice Day celebration. Currently\, the group has 66 members; these members initiate\, as well as help\, coordinate the World Voice Day events in their respective nations. In 2016\, over 700 events were held.

SUMMARY:Thomas Jefferson's Birthday 2022
DESCRIPTION:April 13 is Thomas Jefferson’s Birthday\, the third President of the USA. He is considered as an American Founding Father and the author of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13\, 1743. He had a prominent career as a politician. \n He was a spokesman for democracy\, represented Virginia in the Continental Congress\, embraced the position of Governor of Virginia\, served as the U.S. Minister to France and was the United States Secretary of State. \n Perhaps Jefferson’s most famous and biggest achievement was his contribution to the Declaration of Independence\, being the principal author\, proclaiming all 13 colonies to be independent sovereign states no longer governed by the British Empire. \n During Jefferson’s presidency\, he slashed military expenditures\, cut the budget\, and eliminated the tax on whiskey\, while simultaneously reducing the national debt by over 30%. Thomas Jefferson died in 1826 at the age of 83. Jefferson served his country for over 50 years of his life as a public official\, historian\, and philosopher. \n Whilst Jefferson is widely considered to be one of the worlds most liberal politicians and achieved much change and improvement in the lives of Americans throughout his life\, he has also come under scrutiny due to his dependace upon slavery and his beliefs that American Society remain a white mans domain. Clearly this contradiction of character and ideology has caused many to question his liberal beliefs and subsequently turned Jefferson into a paradoxical hero. \n A much documented and commented upon life (even appearing in hit musical Hamilton!)\, one thing that Thomas Jeffersons time on this earth did leave us with\, were the many inspiring and philisophical quotes; this being one of our favourites. \n We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness. \n Love him or loathe him\, we definitely think he has a point don’t you? \n   \n . \n

SUMMARY:Education and Sharing Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is Education and Sharing Day 2019 and when is it?\n Founded by President Jimmy Carter in 1978\, Education and Sharing Day 2022 is on April 12th\, and is an annual USA day of observance. \n Education and Sharing Day was founded in honour of\, and on the 80th Birthday of\, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson\, commonly known as ‘The Rebbe’\, who was considered to be one of the greatest 20th Century spiritual leaders. \n Education and Sharing Day falls on the 11th of the Jewish month of Nissan each year\, and as the Jewish and Gregorian Calendars are different and don’t synchronize\, the date of Education and Sharing Day on the Western Calendar is different each year\, but it is usually during March or April. \n Education and Sharing Day honours the Rabbi’s commitment to improving Judaism and mankind through culture and education\, especially by founding centres for culture\, education and socialisation for young Jewish people. These centres are known as Chabad Houses\, and are mainly located on or near university campuses. Chabad houses are still going strong and providing community and culture for Jewish Students. \n But Shneerson’s work wasn’t limited to Jewish youth\, he made a significant contribution to the education and betterment of the population in general. And that is also honoured on Education and Sharing Day. \n Education and Sharing Day is marked by events and parades\, some parades are quite big and well known\, for example the parade in Crown Heights\, Brooklyn\, New York\, which is run by Tzivos Hashem (Jewish Child International).

SUMMARY:National Siblings Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Siblings day\, usually held on the 10th of April is a holiday that celebrates siblings relationships. April 10th is fast approaching\, and you should probably be calling your siblings to hatch up a plan on how to spend the day. Siblings are an incredible gift from God and anyone who has a brother or sister should not let the day just pass by without celebrating them. \n Unfortunately\, siblings day is not recognized by federal governments and the day is therefore not necessarily a national holiday. That means you’ll have to wake up and get to work just like any other day. However\, that is not a reason not to celebrate it. You can always take time off your busy schedule and get together with your siblings for some quality time. \n America has been proactive in trying to get the day recognized as a national holiday by federal governments. 49 states in the United States have been in the forefront pushing for this agenda. India and Australia have also made inroads in getting the day marked appropriately. \n The siblings day organization has also made tremendous efforts to get this important holiday recognized. The holiday is an invention of one Claudia Evart\, who invented it in a bid to celebrate the lives of her sister and brother who had died while still young.It is not every day that we get to be with our siblings especially when we grow up. Get involved in the national siblings day and take time to appreciate your brother or sister. You can join the conversation about siblings day through the hashtag #NationalSiblingsDay

DESCRIPTION:National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day is observed annually on April 9. \n This day was introduced to honor American veterans of any wars that returned home after being released from prisons. The date of April 9 was chosen to commemorate the same day in 1942\, when United States forces were surrendered by the Imperial Japanese Army on the Bataan Peninsula\, beginning the Bataan Death March. All survivors were loaded to a box train and brought to the Camp O’Donnell. During the march prisoners were physically abused that caused their death. \n The actions of Japanese Army were later judged to be a Japanese war crime. National Former POW Recognition Day had been observed from 1942 to 1976 on national level\, but later only some states held commemorative services. Memorial marches took place at New Mexico and Minnesota\, memorial service was held at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii. Due to the President Barack Obama’s initiatives\, and continuation by President Trump\, this day is observed on federal level.

SUMMARY:World Health Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Health Day’s message is simple: giving people access to healthcare without the prospect of financial hardship. This is regardless of where they’re from; they could be in Africa\, Asia\, South America or the United States. What matters to the World Health Organisation (WHO)\, the group behind it\, is that there’s Health for All. \n It has its reasons\, too. The WHO asserts\, following countless studies\, that countries which invest in universal healthcare will make a sound investment in their human capital; indeed\, access to a very bottom line of care and financial protection will not only truly improve someone’s health and life expectancy\, but also protects countries from epidemics\, reduces poverty and the risk of hunger\, creates jobs\, drives economic growth and enhances gender equality. \n That’s quite the ideal to push towards\, and a day that ought to be celebrated as much as any other on our calendar!

SUMMARY:International Children's Book Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Helping to bring their imagination to life\, books inspire\, educate and encourage children to exercise their mind. \n International Children’s Book Day 2022 is designed to do just that and celebrate reading. \n Taking place on 2 April 2022\, International Children’s Book Day is this year sponsored by International Board on Books for Young People Latvia. The Board decides on a theme for the event in addition to an author from that country writing a personal message to the children of the world to inspire them to read. A poster to help publicise the event is designed by an illustrator from the sponsorship country too. The slogan for this year’s event is the small is big in a book‚with the message to the children written by Inese Zandere. Inese is a Latvian poet and editor\, in addition to an author and publisher of children’s books. \n Reading books can help a child to learn and develop\, and this can be difficult in certain parts of the world due to deprivation. However\, International Children’s Book Day can help to provide resources for those children through various events in schools and communities that they may not have had access to otherwise. \n Not only does it encourage children to pick up a book and read\, no matter what age they are\, to celebrate International Children’s Book Day\, but it can help to influence their habits for the future.

SUMMARY:National Vietnam War Veterans Day in the USA 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Vietnam War Veterans Day is celebrated on March 29th in the US and was recently made a recognized annual holiday in 2017 when it was signed into law by President Trump. March 29th is the day that the last of the troops were withdrawn in 1973. \nThis is a separate holiday from Veterans Day which is celebrated on November 11th\, that marks the end of the First World War. \nThe war originally started as a civil war between North Vietnam and the South Vietnam Government. The North Vietnamese Army was supported by communist allies such as the Soviet Union and China and the South Vietnamese Army was supported by anti – communist Allies such as the US\, Australia and South Korea. \nCitizens are encouraged to fly the US flag in honor of those who served in the Vietnam war as a way to thank the veterans and all those who made sacrifices during one of the longest wars in US history lasting almost 20 years. \nSome may wonder why it took 44 years for the troops to be celebrated\, but due to the huge number of casualties and domestic controversy a large part of the US population became opposed to the war.

SUMMARY:Purple Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Originating in Canada\, Purple Day was invented by the incredible Cassidy Megan\, a young girl who created the initiative in 2008 after getting motivated by the struggles she had with epilepsy. It’s a simple affair: you’re encouraged to wear purple and raise awareness for the cause! \nOriginally\, the initiative started out on a small level; Cassidy’s idea was picked up\, and then supported\, by the Epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia in 2008. Since then\, it has taken on a whole new level\, and in the UK alone\, it’s backed by no fewer than eight charities. \nPurple Day – international epilepsy day – returns on Thursday 26 March 2022. \nDid you know that 87 people are diagnosed with epilepsy every day? \nEpilepsy can affect anyone\, anytime\, anyplace and can change lives in a moment. \nTo help raise funds and awareness tell us what your purple moment will be this Purple Day. It could be a purple cake bake\, purple plod\, purple plunge\, purple dress down\, purple hair day or turn your school\, town or office purple. \nDownload your FREE fundraising pack today. For more ideas and fundraising materials including balloons\, banners and t-shirts email fundraising@youngepilepsy.org.uk today or call 01342 831245.

SUMMARY:National Skipping Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:  \nNational Skipping Day will take place on Friday 25th March 2022 this year and is organised by Skipping Workshops. \nOver the years we have received a great deal of feedback from schools and it seems that participating schools fall into two groups: the first are those schools who promote playground skipping on a regular basis throughout the school year and see NSD as a means of celebrating this commitment . By contrast\, some schools don’t promote skipping throughout the school year but are happy to take part in NSD as a ‘one-off’ celebration of healthy exercise through skipping. The 2022 event is definitely of more interest to the first group (although we hope all schools will consider taking part.) \nFor schools taking part in the 2022 NSD we have developed a graded scheme of skills\, starting with challenges for Nursery and YR children moving forward to skills for children in Y5 & Y6 who have shown a commitment to developing skipping skills. There are 6 levels in all\, starting with ‘basic’ (for the youngest children) moving through to Level 5. For those children who complete the tasks in each level we have a certificate which we hope schools will present to those children who qualify. For each level we will send participating schools detailed staff notes to explain the various challenges. \nIf you register for NSD 2022 we will send you details of the skills involved in the basic level as well as Levels 1 & 2 plus a copy of the different certificates for each level. \nIf you feel able to host an all-day-skip visit from Skipping Workshops between now and the end of the academic year we will send you\, free of charge\, a useful ‘starter pack’ of skipping ropes; this will include 15 child ropes ( infant and/or junior sizes) as well as a 4m long rope\, a 8m long rope as well as one adult rope. The normal cost of the pack is £102 but free to schools who book a visit. We are grateful to NORtech Jump ropes for their continuing support for NSD.

SUMMARY:World Meteorological Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The date when the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) was established\, which is 23 March 1950\, was dubbed World Meteorological Day. Every year\, the organisation announces a slogan for this day. All member countries celebrate World Meteorology Day. The day is celebrated every year to honour the entry into force of the convention that formed World Meteorological Organization. \n Also\, the day highlights the contribution that Hydrological Services and National Meteorological make to society’s safety and well-being. The UN’s (United Nations) World Meteorological Day is held annually around or on 23 March to remember the establishment of WMO in 1950\, on that date. Many events and activities are organised for this occasion. \n World Meteorological Day usually features events like exhibitions and symposia for meteorological professionals\, conferences\, the public and community leaders. Some events aim to get the media attention and raise the meteorology’s profile. Also\, many prizes for meteorological study are announced or presented close or on World Meteorological Day. \n Many countries issue special postage stamp cancellation mark or postage stamps to celebrate this day. The stamps usually reflect the theme of the event or mark a nation’s meteorology achievements. \n World Meteorological Day theme\, 23 March 2018 will be Weather-ready\, climate-smart. A new theme is always allocated to each and every different year for the World Meteorological Day. In 2007\, WMO held a photo competition on the theme of that year entitled Hotter\, drier\, wetter. Face the Future. Also\, the World Meteorological Day marked the launching of a new International Cloud Atlas edition.

SUMMARY:World Water Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Water Day takes place each and every year on March 22nd\, and aims to underline the importance of water. While this may sound simple and\, in many people’s eyes\, a bit daft the lack of clean water around the world\, alongside the damaging effects of global warming\, water pollution and damaged water tables\, is more important to understand than ever. \n The initiative is spearheaded by the UN\, alongside UNESCO\, the World Water Council and the WWF the one with pandas\, not the one with Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan. Using the day as a basis for longer-term action\, the UN aims to ensure that everyone in the world has access to safe water by 2030\, while not impacting the environment.

SUMMARY:The Big Walk and Wheel 2022 - Previously The Big Pedal
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by UK cycling charity Sustrans\, The Big Walk and Wheel – Previously known as The Big Pedal is the UK’s largest inter-school cycling and scooter-based challenge that aims to inspire and empower kids\, teachers and parents to get on two wheels in order to make the daily trek to school. The Big Walk and Wheel runs for ten school days each year\, and there are prizes galore in store for those who take part. \n\n\n\n\n\nSince Sustrans Big Pedal started in 2011 it has grown to be much more than a cycling competition. \nDuring the two-week challenge schools compete to record the greatest number of pupils walking\, using a wheelchair\, scooting and cycling to school\, whilst learning about the benefits of active travel along the way. \nTo acknowledge the multi-modal nature of the competition\, in 2021 we asked schools to help us find a new name for Sustrans Big Pedal. \nA name that includes walking\, using a wheelchair\, scooting and cycling to reflect its inclusive nature. \nParticipating schools submitted their suggestions and the shortlist was put to a public vote. \nThe clear winner was… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSustrans Big Walk and Wheel!\nPlease put 21 March – 1 April 2022 in your diaries for Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel 2022. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel\nThe school challenge has now been running for 11 years. \nIt’s inspired hundreds of thousands of families to take active journeys to school. \nIn 2021\, we took a more flexible approach to the competition to accommodate pupils learning remotely. \nThe results were amazing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSustrans Big Pedal 2021 was a great success. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmazing Journeys theme\nThis year we are again trying to make sure as many pupils as possible can take part. \nThat’s why we have designed our interactive school resources to be fun and flexible. \nOur Amazing Journeys theme will encourage pupils to see their local area from a new perspective whilst learning about the benefits of active travel. \nAnd active journeys taken from home or physical activity completed at home counted as one journey in the challenge for pupils learning remotely.

SUMMARY:Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, 1 in 5 children has a learning difference. According to the UK Department of Education\, 15% of students in the United Kingdom have a learning difference (a statistic that is likely to be overly conservative). Yet\, most classroom teachers and school staff have no training on how to identify\, understand and support students with learning and thinking differences. Instead of investing in providing early intervention and support services for students with special educational needs (SEN)\, years of severe funding cuts to education have decimated support services for neurodivergent students. For example\, in parts of the UK\, there are waiting times of up to 14 months for an initial autism assessment appointment.  Furthermore\, there is still a significant societal stigma and many misconceptions about learning and thinking differences that also create barriers for SEN students to have equal access to education. \n​How do societal stigma and general misconceptions about neurological differences make it harder for students to get the support they need? \n​ \n\n\n33% of classroom teachers and other educators believe learning and thinking challenges are sometimes an excuse for laziness. \n\n\n​ \n\n\n43% of parents say they wouldn’t want others to know if their child has a neurological difference. \n\n\n​ \n\n\n48% of parents believe incorrectly that kids grow out of learning differences. \n\n\n​ \n\n\n76% of neurodivergent university students say they didn’t disclose their disability to their university. \n\n\n​ \nThe lack of teacher training and SEN support services\, as well as the stigma and entrenched misconceptions about learning differences\, have culminated in a perfect storm that has left neurodivergent students adrift. It will not come as a surprise that most neuordivergent students have negative school experiences. Like millions of neurodivergent students\, I know what it feels like to be frustrated\, embarrassed\, and humiliated at school. I also know what it feels like to have some teachers and classmates assume you are not intelligent and to have them underestimate and write you off. At school\, we are constantly reminded of our difficulties and challenges. In the classroom\, our learning differences are exposed for everyone to see and the greatest importance is given to the skills we struggle with the most or can’t do. This can be very discouraging and demoralizing. \nAt school\, we are often made to feel like failures. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Together\, we can change the narrative. Instead of focusing only on the drawbacks of being neurodivergent\, it’s time to also acknowledge and recognize the many strengths and talents that come from thinking and perceiving the world differently. By celebrating the strengths of neurodivergent students\, we can begin the seismic shift of changing the way SEN students are perceived and treated\, including how neurodivergent students feel about themselves. \nTo empower neurodivergent students to achieve their potential\, schools need to recognize and celebrate our many strengths and talents that may not be showcased in the traditional classroom environment\, such as our creativity\, innovation\, ability to think outside-the-box\, problem-solving skills\, unique insights\, and perspectives\, as well as our perseverance and resilience. \nWe are the dreamers. \nThe pioneers. \nThe change-makers. \nThe future business leaders. \nWe are the trailblazers. \nThe adventurers. \nThe discoverers. \nWe are the Einsteins and Bransons of tomorrow. \nThe struggling SEN students of today will become the entrepreneurs and revolutionaries of tomorrow. We will join the visionaries who have transformed the world we live in. We will be the next Steve Jobs\, Bill Gates\, John F Kennedy\, John Lennon\, Pablo Picasso\, Steven Speilberg\, Tommy Hilfiger\, Satoshi Tajiri\, Agatha Christie\, Henry Ford\, Billie Eilish\, Temple Grandin\, and Andy Warhol of tomorrow. Yet\, our ability to fulfil our potential is being threatened by the stigma associated with having a special educational need and the misconceptions many people still have about autistic people and people with learning differences.  We are also more vulnerable to being mistreated. In a 2017 bullying report by Ditch the Label\, 75% of autistic students and 70% of students with learning differences reported being bullied at school. \nIt is time to create a more inclusive educational landscape so that SEN students have equal access to education. But in order to bring about this change\, we need your help. Please support your neurodivergent students by registering to take part in Neurodiversity Celebration Week. Join the other 1\,600 schools and over 1 million students from around the world that are taking part in ensuring that the strengths and talents of neurodivergent students are seen and celebrated.

SUMMARY:International Day of Forests 2022
DESCRIPTION:Forests are part of your life in more ways than you realize \nWhen we drink a glass of water\, write in a notebook\, take medicine for a fever or build a house\, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet\, these and many other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another. Forests\, their sustainable management and use of resources\, including in fragile ecosystems\, are key to combating climate change\, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nForests and Education – Learn to Love Forests \nEvery 21 March the United Nations raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. This year the International Day of Forests promotes education to Learn to Love Forests. It underscores the importance of education at all levels in achieving sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation. Healthy forests mean healthy\, resilient communities and prosperous economies.

SUMMARY:World Down Syndrome Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Down Syndrome Day (also known as WDSD) is a global awareness initiative that has been backed by the United Nations since 2012. \n It has been spearheaded by Down Syndrome International\, which has linked up with national charities across the world to develop activities and events to raise awareness and support for those living with Down syndrome. It also highlights the facts of what it’s like to have Down syndrome\, and how those with Down syndrome have\, and continue to play\, a vital role in our communities. \n The date itself has been selected for very clever reasons; it is held on the 21st day of the 3rd month\, which is a hat-tip to the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome which leads to Down syndrome. \n Let’s get people talking about WDSD on 21 March 2021! How? By wearing #LotsOfSocks! \n …wear our official #LotsOfSocks socks\, other brightly coloured socks\, long socks\, printed socks\, 1 sock even 3 socks for 3 chromosomes. If you do not normally wear socks\, then wear them. And why stop at socks? Wear our #LotsOfSocks t-shirts\, WDSD t-shirts and other brightly coloured clothing.

SUMMARY:World Poetry Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Poetry reaffirms our common humanity by revealing to us that individuals\, everywhere in the world\, share the same questions and feelings. Poetry is the mainstay of oral tradition and\, over centuries\, can communicate the innermost values of diverse cultures. \n In celebrating World Poetry Day\, March 21\, UNESCO recognizes the unique ability of poetry to capture the creative spirit of the human mind. \n A decision to proclaim 21 March as World Poetry Day was adopted during UNESCO’s 30th session held in Paris in 1999. \n One of the main objectives of the Day is to support linguistic diversity through poetic expression and to offer endangered languages the opportunity to be heard within their communities. \n The observance of World Poetry Day is also meant to encourage a return to the oral tradition of poetry recitals\, to promote the teaching of poetry\, to restore a dialogue between poetry and the other arts such as theatre\, dance\, music and painting\, and to support small publishers and create an attractive image of poetry in the media\, so that the art of poetry will no longer be considered an outdated form of art\, but one which enables society as a whole to regain and assert its identity.

SUMMARY:National Native AIDS Awareness Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:March 20th is National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day\, where we pay particular focus to raising awareness\, overcoming stigmas and encouraging testing for HIV and Aids in Native communities in the United States. This presents opportunities for Native Americans\, Alaskans and Hawaiians to learn more about HIV/AIDS and to promote testing and counselling where necessary. \n The day appropriately coincides with the spring equinox\, celebrated in many Native communities as a symbol of new beginnings. It was chosen specifically for this reason as it is an opportunity for positive change through awareness and prevention. \n This institution was started in 2007 by HIV.gov to promote awareness and provide resources to Native communities after several studies identified them to be a high risk group in need of assistance. Risks of HIV in these communities can be heightened by a general lack of health care provisions and mental health assistance\, as well as societal stigmas surrounding homosexuality\, high rates of alcohol and drug use and general misinformation. This has led to estimates of up to a quarter of cases of Native people who are infected with HIV or AIDS being unaware that they have it. \n There are various ways to participate in observing NNHAAD\, including visiting HIV.gov or other educational resources to learn more on the subject\, getting a routine test for HIV\, sharing information about HIV and AIDS prevention\, or raising money by supporting or organising an event to spread awareness.

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox (First Day of Spring) 2022
DESCRIPTION:This year in the northern hemisphere the Spring or Vernal Equinox falls on the 20th March. The equinox marks the day when day and night are the same lengths all over the world\, with the word equinox literally meaning equal night‚in Latin. \n The spring equinox marks the change of the seasons and as the northern hemisphere begins to tilt towards the sun\, our days start to get longer and our nights shorter. In the northern hemisphere\, we enjoy the arrival of spring and the promise of warmer days. To our friends in the southern hemisphere\, however\, this marks the changing of their seasons to autumn. \n The equinox does not always fall on the same day each year due to the fact that the earth orbits the sun on a slightly elliptical path\, meaning that the spring equinox can happen on either the 19th\, 20th or 21st of March. Although many cultures celebrate the whole day as the equinox\, the equinox is\, in fact\, technically the specific point in time when the sun crosses the equator. \n In the northern hemisphere\, the March equinox is traditionally celebrated as a time of rebirth with many different cultures celebrating spring holidays and festivals such as Easter and Passover around the time of the equinox.

SUMMARY:Global Recycling Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT GLOBAL RECYCLING DAY \n Every year\, the earth yields billions of tons of natural resources to transform into consumables. At some point\, there will be nothing left. That’s why we must\, as a planet\, think again about what we throw away seeing not waste\, but opportunity. \n Global Recycling Day was created in 2018 to help recognize\, and celebrate\, the importance recycling plays in preserving our precious primary resources and securing the future of our planet. It is a Day for the world to come together\, and put the planet first.

SUMMARY:St Patricks Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:St Patrick’s most incredible feat was to banish each and every Irish snake into the sea after these unarmed reptiles conspired to attack him during his 40-day fast. As a result\, it might be surprising that St Patrick’s Day seems to revolve more around drinking alcohol than committing acts of animal abuse\, though in a modern society\, the latter is thankfully more socially unacceptable and illegal. \n If you want to join in\, dress to the nines in green and hit your local pub. You can guarantee you won’t be more than ten paces from a standard-issue Guinness foam hat to celebrate the experience an item usually thrown in as an incentive to drink a couple of pints of the black stuff out of respect for St Patrick himself.

SUMMARY:Young Carers Action Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Each year Carers Trust organises Young Carers Awareness Day. \nThe purpose of the day is to raise public awareness of the challenges faced by young people because of their caring role\, and to campaign for greater support for young carers and their needs. \nWhen Carers Trust set up Young Carers Awareness Day our intention was to make the public much more aware of young carers – who they are\, what they do\, the very real challenges they face\, and why they need support. \nAnd over the years\, we’ve had some great successes\, using the media and social media to really shine a spotlight on young carers. \nBut as Young Carers Awareness Day has got bigger each year\, we’ve also realised there are things we can do to make it better. And many young carers themselves have told us how they think the day could be improved. \nWe wanted to use that feedback from young carers and people working with young carers to make the day even better. So this year we are making some changes based on the feedback we have received. These changes are explained below. \nWe hope you agree these will make the day even better in 2022\, and help create real change for young carers and the support they receive! \nWe are changing the name! \nOne of the things we are always hearing from young carers is that what they want is support\, not sympathy. \nThis got us thinking. Yes\, it’s great to raise public awareness of young carers and what they do. But we need to do more than just encourage public sympathy for young carers and everything they have to do at home. We need to use the day to get people to take action to support young carers. \nSo from 2021 onwards\, the name has been changed to Young Carers Action Day. \nWe will be working with a group of young carers to ensure Young Carers Action Day 2022 features activities that will encourage real action and drive positive change for young carers. \nWe are changing the date! \nUp to now\, the day falls at the end of January. With the day coming so soon after Christmas\, we’ve noticed it’s easy to lose momentum due to the Christmas holidays. So from 2021 Young Carers Action Day has taken place in March. \nWe will still be making all materials ready by the end of November and we hope this will give young carers\, teachers and other professionals plenty of time to plan some really great activities for March. \nYoung Carers Action Day 2022 will take place on 16 March 2022. \nWe are including young adult carers \nUntil now\, the day has been for young carers up to the age of 18. \nBut one of the things our recent survey of young carers and young adult carers showed us is that young people aged 18 to 25 are experiencing many of the same challenges as younger carers. \nYoung adult carers need support too as they continue to balance their caring role with the difficult transition into early adulthood. So we will be planning activities and media coverage for this really important group of carers too! \nAnd we are working with young carers and young adult carers to plan Young Carers Action Day 2022 \nCarers Trust has set up a working group including young carers and young adult carers that is working actively to plan activities and media coverage for Young Carers Action Day 2022. With young carers at the heart of planning\, we will ensure that Young Carers Action Day 2022 delivers activities most likely to create positive change for young carers that addresses their needs. \nGot a question? \nWe realise that these are fairly significant changes and you may have questions. If there is something you’d like to ask\, or raise\, we’d love to hear from you! \nPlease feel free to get in touch with Vicky Morgan\, Head of Young Carers and Young Adult Carers. \nMedia enquiry? \nContact the Press team

SUMMARY:World Salt Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Salt Awareness Week will take place 14 – 20 March 2022 and this year our theme is ‘Shake The Habit’! \nEach year Action on Salt organise a national ‘Salt Awareness Week’ and an international ‘World Salt Awareness Week’ to help raise awareness of the damaging effect of too much salt to our health. \nThe annual campaign is our chance to talk directly to the general public\, shining a light on the hidden salt in our favourite food products and encouraging those who don’t want their food\, and their children’s food\, laden with unnecessary salt to take action. We produce posters\, leaflets and factsheets\, which are then made available for order by hospitals\, GP surgeries\, health charities\, schools\, universities and anyone with an interest in salt\, food or health! These resources are intended for local community events during the week\, or for display year round in pharmacies and GP surgeries\, helping our salt reduction messages reach a wide range of people. Last year there were more than 300 supporting events up and down the country. \nIn previous Salt Awareness Week campaigns\, Action on Salt have held a lunch time reception at the House of Commons. These prestigious events are a chance for our message to be heard by MPs\, food retailers\, food manufacturers and other supporters and stakeholders. It also gives the food companies a chance to show how they have been reducing salt in their products. \nPlease use the links on the left to view more information on our annual Salt Awareness Week campaigns

SUMMARY:International Women's Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:International Women’s Day celebrates the social\, cultural\, economic and political achievements of women across the globe. But far from singling out women\, the day focuses on unity\, equality and advocacy especially in a world where the differences and injustices between women and men are as great as ever. \nOver 20 countries particularly in Asia celebrate it with a day off work for all\, while another three (including China) allow all women to take a day off. Although many people who seem to have a problem with the concept of International Women’s Day may think it’s a modern invention\, it’s anything but; its first official acknowledgement was back in 1911\, and became a cornerstone holiday in the Soviet Union from 1917 (even being a day off from work from 1965 onwards). Since 1977\, the United Nations has made it a focus day for both women’s rights and world peace. \nAnd before you ask yes\, there is an International Men’s Day\, on November 19th. For what it’s worth\, you can enjoy Richard Herring (@Herring1967) respond to each and every Twitter user who asks this question over these 24 hours that women are celebrated.

SUMMARY:National Old Stuff Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Old Stuff Day is observed annually on March 2nd and is all about getting rid of the old and trying something new. \n The obvious old things we can start with tend to be clutter and old unused things around the house\, maybe it’s time to spring clean your wardrobe and get all those bits you haven’t worn in a long time over to charity? But if you’re a bit of a hoarder and the idea of separating yourself from any of your things “in case it comes in handy” don’t worry\, it can be as simple as ditching your old route to work for a new one. Trying a new type of food. Trying a new way of doing something or you could even try and make something new of somebody else’s old stuff and get yourself to a vintage store or charity shop. \n However you choose to celebrate National Old Stuff Day we hope it makes your day a little bit different from the same old.

SUMMARY:Walk All Over Cancer 2022
DESCRIPTION:Walk All Over Cancer is a fundraising and activity challenge that occurs annually every March in aid of the charity Cancer Research UK. Participants are challenged to a sponsored walk of 10\,000 steps every day during the month\, and all proceeds from the fundraising are donated to the charity. \nCancer Research UK funds research into cancer treatment and prevention across the world\, working to develop new cancer drugs and provide the latest cancer information about cancer treatment and prevention to both health professionals and the public. \nParticipants can share details of their progress using the hashtag #walkallovercancer and walks can be either solo or walkers can challenge their friends and family to join them\, or even take part with local walking groups. The NHS recommends 10\,000 steps per day for optimum health\, however with increasingly sedentary lives\, many people do not reach this amount\, and so the challenge is an opportunity to improve your own health as well as raise money for a good cause. By taking 10\,000 steps per day\, walkers will achieve 150 miles by the end of the month. \nAnybody interested in getting involved in Walk All Over Cancer will find further resources including free printable materials and information on fundraising and tracking steps at www.cancerresearchuk.org.

SUMMARY:Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:When a woman is diagnosed at the earliest stage\, her chance of surviving ovarian cancer for five years or more doubles from just 46 per cent to more than 90 per cent. \n However\, nearly half of GPs mistakenly believe symptoms only present in the later stages of the disease\, and less than a third of women in the UK are confident they know the symptoms. \n This year\, tens of thousands of symptoms leaflets were read\, thousands of cakes were baked\, hundreds of outlandish outfits worn and more teapots brewed than we could count all with one aim in mind to get more women diagnosed at the earliest stage. Your fundraising means we will be able to do more to improve early diagnosis\, fund more life-saving research and provide much-needed support.

SIAD is an international event that is recognised across the globe. \n LifeSIGNS is proud to have supported Self-Injury Awareness Day for well over a decade\, and we’re the number oneresource for SIAD material. \n Raising awareness about self-injury is incredibly important.

SUMMARY:St David's Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:March kicks off in style with St David’s Day\, when Welsh people across the world but mainly in Wales\, naturally celebrate their fantastic heritage under the banner of their national saint. David’s greatest miracle was creating a hill under his feet where he spoke about God\, though otherwise\, he was quite a humble man\, to the point where he advocated that monks pulled the plough (and not cows)\, and only had bread and water as part of their diet. \n So sure\, St David might not be seen in the same party atmosphere as St Patrick\, who somewhat steals his thunder with his own day later in the month\, but Glastonbury Abbey yes\, in that Glastonbury was founded by St David. But before you decide that the saint-based party night of the year ought to be moved out of fairness and respect\, St David refrained from drinking beer

DESCRIPTION:Shrove Tuesday (known in some countries as Pancake Tuesday) is a day in February or March preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent)\, which is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes. In others\, especially those (including Louisiana) where it is called Mardi Gras or some translation thereof\, this is a carnival day\, and also the last day of fat eating or gorging before the fasting period of Lent. \n This moveable festival is determined by Easter. The expression Shrove Tuesday comes from the word shrive\, meaning absolve. Shrove Tuesday is observed by many Christians\, including Anglicans\, Lutherans\,Methodists and Roman Catholics\,who make a special point of self-examination\, of considering what wrongs they need to repent\, and what amendments of life or areas of spiritual growth they especially need to ask God’s help in dealing with. \n Being the last day before the penitential season of Lent\, related popular practices\, such as indulging in food that one sacrifices for the upcoming forty days\, are associated with Shrove Tuesday celebrations\, before commencing the fasting and religious obligations associated with Lent. The term Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday\, referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer\, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of theLenten season\, which begins on Ash Wednesday

SUMMARY:Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is Eating disorders Awareness Week?\nEating Disorders Awareness Week is an international awareness event\, fighting the myths and misunderstandings that surround anorexia\, bulimia\, binge eating disorder and EDNOS. \nEating disorders are devastating mental illnesses that affect 1 in 50 people in the UK. \nRecovery is possible\, but we rely on our GPs to spot early warning signs that may have nothing to do with a person’s weight or appearance. Their role is crucial and their responsibility is huge\, but the average GP receives less than 2 hours of training on eating disorders throughout their entire medical degree\, which is just not good enough! This means that so often\, people with eating disorders don’t get the help they need because GPs just don’t have the right training to diagnose them. \nBeat are fighting for better access to treatment for people with eating disorders. They have developed clear and comprehensive courses for medical students\, which some schools have started to teach. The aim is to provide GPs with the proper training so that they can match the seriousness of these conditions and give people with eating disorders the best possible care. \nThis year Beat are focusing on highlighting their training program to help GPs make the right referrals for people with eating disorders. But their services are still there for those who need them right now. This EDAW Beat are asking for your help to be Bright and Bold so that they can make sure no one faces an eating disorder alone. \nWhen is Eating Disorders Awareness Week?\nEDAW 22 takes place from the 28th February and will run until the 6th March. \nHow to get involved in Eating Disorders Awareness Week.\nTo get involved in EDAW 22 Beat are asking you to: \nSpeak up \nWe’re asking supporters to share their own GP experiences to highlight the difference knowledge\, understanding and compassion can make! \nStep Up \nOur supporters’ fundraising activities and generous donations will amplify our campaign! \nSkill Up \nWe’re asking supporters to share our campaign for change – with the tools and the time to understand eating disorders\, our future GPs will be better equipped! \nFor more information visit Beat here or follow the campaign on social media using the hashtag #EDAW2022 \n  \n

SUMMARY:National Essay Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Essay Day is an annual awareness campaign promoted by One Freelance Limited. It aims to celebrate the joy of essay writing that is free from formal academic requirements\, to draw attention to the writing challenges students face and to highlight the importance of timely writing assistance. \n National Essay Day has a powerful historical background. February\, 28 is the birthdate of Michel de Montaigne\, the author of the first writings named “essays”. \n Michel de Montaigne was one of the most significant philosophers of the French Renaissance\, known for popularizing essays as a literary genre. In his writings\, he was never afraid to say what he really thought\, no matter how unorthodox his ideas were. \n On National Essay Day\, students and all interested are invited to follow Michel de Montaigne’s paradigm of essay writing.

SUMMARY:Tell a Fairy Tale Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Tell a Fairy Tale Day is an informal observance held on February 26. It provides a perfect opportunity to read fairy tales to your kinds and enjoy your favorite childhood tales yourself. \n A fairy tale is a short story that typically features fantasy characters and magic. Fairy tales usually take place once upon a time and have a happy ending: evil characters are punished and good characters live happily ever after. \n Fairy tale collections are usually the first books read by children (not counting alphabet books\, of course). But children are introduced to fairy tales much earlier than they start to read\, because fairy tales are the most common type of bedtime story. \n Even if you don’t have children or your kids are not around\, you should not miss the opportunity to reacquaint yourself with fairy tales. It’s perfectly okay to read fairy tale books alone. Make a cup of hot chocolate\, curl up in a chair and immerse yourself in the world of princes and princesses\, evil witches and beautiful fairies\, dragons and unicorns\, talking animals and magical plants.

SUMMARY:Fairtrade Fortnight 2022
DESCRIPTION:21 February to 6 March 2022 \n Information about Fairtrade Fortnight 2022 will be coming soon. Sign up to emails to stay up to date. \n WHAT IS FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT \n For two weeks each year at the end of February and start of March\, thousands of individuals\, companies and groups across the UK come together to share the stories of the people who grow our food and drinks and who grow the cotton in our clothes\, people who are often exploited and underpaid. \n In 2019\, we launched our campaign calling on U.K. Government and companies to ensure cocoa farmers earn living incomes by 2030\, in line with the UN’s Global Goals to end poverty. During Fairtrade Fortnight 2020 we continued our campaign to raise awareness of the struggles of cocoa farming and to demand living incomes for cocoa farmers. \n A living income means enough money to live a simple but dignified life\, paying for essentials such as clothing\, medicine and school. We believe this is not a luxury but a human right. \n Read more about our Fight for Living Incomes campaign \n Only Fairtrade is campaigning publicly for the right to a living income for farmers – men and women. Only Fairtrade Standards cover: \n Price: The Fairtrade Premium and the Fairtrade Minimum Price are driving real change\, right now. The Fairtrade Minimum Price provides a safety net that protects farmers from low prices for their crops. \n Premium: Fairtrade farmers and workers choose how they spend the Fairtrade Premium\, which they can use to make their farms and communities stronger. It also allows them to invest in different ways of making money\, so that they are less reliant on the unpredictable cocoa market. Read more about the Fairtrade Premium \n Women’s empowerment: Fairtrade is also supporting more women cocoa farmers to take the reins and stand tall alongside men. Fairtrade Standards make sure that they have a voice in their community\, are represented in decision-making and benefit from Fairtrade. We know that independent income in the hands of women brings positive change to communities even faster. \n Environment: While you can’t protect the planet without protecting its people first\, rigorous Fairtrade Standards support farmers to protect the environment and the Fairtrade Premium is enabling them to invest in climate resilience and adaptation. \n In late 2019\, we travelled back to West Africa\, to meet some truly inspiring women who want their stories to be heard. This Fortnight we need your help to share their stories and show people in the UK why we need them to choose Fairtrade. \n GET INVOLVED \n Details about Fairtrade Fortnight 2021 will be coming soon. In the meantime\, there are several ways to get involved with our campaign for living incomes: \n 1. Sign up to emails to stay in touch and receive updates from Fairtrade  \n 2. Follow us on social media and share our campaign content to help us raise awareness of the issues. \n Follow us on Facebook | Follow us on Twitter | Follow us on Instagram | Subscribe to our YouTube channel \n 3.

SUMMARY:Susan B. Anthony Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Susan B. Anthony Day is observed annually on February 15 in the USA. This day commemorates the birth of Susan Brownell Anthony\, an American social reformer who played a leading role in women’s suffrage movement as well as a vigorous opponent of slavery. \n Susan Brownell Anthony was born on February 15\, 1820 to a Quaker family. Inspired and driven from a young age\, she started to collect anti-slavery petitions when she was 17. By the time she was the age of 36 she became the New York State agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society. Women’s suffrage began in the 1840s\, when it emerged from the movement for women’s rights. The first two national suffrage organizations were established in 1869. One of the organizations was led by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The leader of the other organization was Lucy Stone. In 1890\, after years of rivalry the two companies merged as National American Woman Suffrage Association and Anthony became its leader. \n Susan B. Anthony was an established politician in a time when very few women had a voice at all\, becoming one the United States most senior political figures. Fighting inequality became her primary focus and she worked tirelessly to change the vision for the county and in the process defined history. The legacy of her lifes’ work lives on and perhaps the vision she fought for and the message she spread is even more paramount in today’s society. \n However\, despite the historic importance of her work\, Susan B. Anthony Day is not celebrated on national level. It is a state holiday only in some states of America: Wisconsin\, Florida\, West Virginia\, California and New York. Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York introduced the act to honor birthday of Susan B. Anthony as a national holiday on the third Monday in February\, but the bill was not enacted.

SUMMARY:International Day of Women and girls in science 2022
DESCRIPTION:Science and gender equality are both vital for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals\, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Over the past 15 years\, the global community has made a lot of effort in inspiring and engaging women and girls in science. Yet women and girls continue to be excluded from participating fully in science. \n At present\, less than 30 per cent of researchers worldwide are women. According to UNESCO data (2014 – 2016)\, only around 30 per cent of all female students select STEM-related fields in higher education. Globally\, female students‚enrolment is particularly low in ICT (3 per cent)\, natural science\, mathematics and statistics (5 per cent) and in engineering\, manufacturing and construction (8 per cent). \n Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are steering girls and women away from science related fields. As in the real world\, the world on screen reflects similar biases‚the 2015 Gender Bias Without Borders study by the Geena Davis Institute showed that of the onscreen characters with an identifiable STEM job\, only 12 per cent were women. \n In order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls\, and further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls\, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/70/212 declaring 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. \n More about the Day on UN Women’s website.

SUMMARY:National Apprenticeship Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:The 15th annual National Apprenticeship Week date has been announced today – and will take place from 7 to 13 February 2022. \nNational Apprenticeship Week is an annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships across England and is a time to recognise and applaud apprenticeship success stories across the country. \nApprenticeship employers use the opportunity to promote the success of their apprentices and highlight the huge benefits to other employers\, of all sizes\, who are thinking of taking on an apprentice. \nApprentices across the country will also be celebrated throughout the week\, with engagement and events in schools and colleges. Many current and former apprentices will go back to school to tell their story\, attracting the next generation of apprentices\, so they too can fire up their future career. \nThroughout the 14 years\, National Apprenticeship Week has brought together apprenticeship supporters from across the country\, with MPs\, ambassadors\, apprentices\, training providers and top employers involved in recognising the value and importance of apprenticeships. \nFor NAW2022 we want even more people to get behind the week\, to build on last year’s success\, which included: \nOver 1250 events taking place across England; \nNAW2021\, National Apprenticeship Week and #BlazeATrail all trending UK wide on Twitter over the course of the Week; \nOver 30\,000 unique visits to the NAW resource pages on GOV.UK; \nAnd a hugely successful #askanapprentice day with employers\, including TUI\, Bentley Careers\, Siemens UK\, AXA Insurance and Cisco all getting involved. \nAnne Milton\, Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills said: \n“I am thrilled that National Apprenticeship Week 2021 will take place during early February 2021. It’s a chance to celebrate apprentices and the brilliant work being done by schools\, the FE sector and employers across the country to promote the huge benefits of apprenticeships. \n“Apprenticeships offer people of all ages and backgrounds a high-quality route to skilled employment with the option to train at every level in a range of exciting professions like aerospace engineering\, data science\, teaching\, law\, nursing\, and fashion. \n“This year we had over 1250 events and 1900 articles and features in publications from the Financial Times to Cosmopolitan. I would encourage employers\, training providers\, schools\, apprentices and our ambassador networks to start considering how they will get involved in National Apprenticeship Week 2021. We want next year to be even bigger and better reaching even more people and employers so they understand the advantages apprenticeships bring”.

SUMMARY:National HIV Testing Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:National HIV Testing Week is a campaign to promote regular testing among the most-affected population groups in England. \nRegular testing helps to reduce the number of people living with undiagnosed HIV and those diagnosed late. This year\, the campaign returns with the successful creative ‘Give HIV the finger: a finger-prick test is all it takes’. The campaign will encourage people to test for HIV at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. \nWe are inviting organisations to participate by running online campaign events\, providing virtually-assisted testing opportunities\, and promoting at-home HIV testing\, and prevention awareness with our support. \nWhy National HIV Testing Week is important \nThe number of people diagnosed with HIV is falling\, but there is still work to do: n 1 in 16 people with HIV are unaware they have it and spend an average of three to five years not knowing\, increasing the risk of passing HIV on to sexual partners. Late diagnosis rates are still stubbornly high – 42% of people were diagnosed late in 2019. This correlates to poorer long-term health outcomes and leads to an eightfold increased risk of death. Clinical reviews show many could have been diagnosed sooner. \nKey Campaign Messages for National HIV Testing Week 2021 \nTesting for HIV is quick and easy\, all it takes is a finger-prick test. \nPeople can live with HIV for a long time without any symptoms\, testing is the only way to know your HIV status. \nIf you have HIV\, finding out means you can start treatment\, stay healthy and avoid passing the virus onto anyone else. \nTesting for HIV is still possible despite COVID-19 restrictions. You can test at home using HIV postal and self-test kits. These are safe and confidential\, and enable you to take a test at your own convenience. \nAnyone diagnosed with HIV in the UK can access free treatment and support.

SUMMARY:Time To Talk Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Too often\, people who experience a mental health problem are also expected to take the lead on talking about mental health in the wider sense. Time To Talk Day encourages everyone to talk about mental health. \nMental health problems affect one in four of us yet people are still afraid to talk about it. For people with mental health problems not being able to talk about it can be one of the worst parts of the illness.

President Ford stated citizens should “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history”. \nFebruary was chosen specifically to celebrate Black History Month due to a number of historic events that took place in the month. Originally coined “Negro History Week” by Carter G Woodson in 1926\, he hoped to change the content and commentary of textbooks and historical reviews which often ignored or minimised the impact and influence of black individuals. The second week in February was chosen to focus attention on this cause. Woodson chose that week specifically because it covered the birthdays of Frederick Douglass (February 14) and Abraham Lincoln (February 12). The ensuing publicity led many mayors and college campuses to recognize the week; through the years\, the increase in support allowed the occasion to stretch throughout the entire month. \nNow a hugely recognized month of celebration\, recognition and debate\, Black History Month has been adopted by countries across the world. Find out more this February and continue the discussions and celebrations. Previous Black History Month theme\, “African Americans and the Vote\,” is in honor of the centennial anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment (1920) granting women’s suffrage and the sesquicentennial of the Fifteenth Amendment (1870) giving black men the right to vote.

SUMMARY:National Children's Dental Health Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the American Dental Association in partnership with Crest and Oral B\, the month long awareness campaign aims to work with children\, caregivers\, teachers and other professionals to raise awareness of the benefits of good oral health care. \n Many of us take for granted the benefits of taking good care of our teeth however it is important that we inform children and reinforce the message regularly. \n Tooth decay is the most common of chronic diseases amongst children and therefore there is obviously much more than we can do to promote good oral hygiene. \n Its hardly surprising that tooth decay is so prevalent amongst children if the daily battle to get the children in our household is anything to go by! That is why we think that this campaign is one to get involved with\, promote and learn from particularly in our children’s schools. Anything to make mornings and bedtimes run that little bit more smoothly! \n The ADA have a vast amount of information on their website all aimed at educating and inspiring youngsters to enjoy cleaning their teeth and to help make it become a part of their daily routine. A theme is set each year with 2021’s theme is due to be announced shortly.

SUMMARY:Chinese New Year 2022
DESCRIPTION:Chinese New Year\, also known as the “Spring Festival” (simplified Chinese: 春节; traditional Chinese: 春節; Pinyin: Chūn Jié) in modern China\, is an important Chinese festival celebrated at the turn of the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. Celebrations traditionally run from the evening preceding the first day\, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first calendar month. The first day of the New Year falls on the new moon between 21 Jan and 20 Feb. \nAccording to the Chinese 12-year animal zodiac cycle\, the Chinese year beginning in 2021 is the year of the Tiger. Each Chinese zodiac year begins on Chinese New Year’s Day. \nThe New Year festival is centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and customs. Traditionally\, the festival was a time to honour deities as well as ancestors. Chinese New Year is celebrated in countries and territories with significant Chinese populations\, including Mainland China\, Hong Kong\, Macau\, Singapore\, Taiwan\, Indonesia\, Malaysia\, Thailand\, Vietnam\, Cambodia\, Mauritius\, Australia\, and the Philippines. Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the lunar new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours. \nWithin China\, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely. Often\, the evening preceding Chinese New Year’s Day is an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly clean the house\, in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for incoming good luck. Windows and doors are decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “good fortune” or “happiness”\, “wealth”\, and “longevity”. Other activities include lighting firecrackers and giving money in red paper envelopes. In about one third of the Mainland population\, or 500 million Northerners\, dumplings (especially those of vegetarian fillings) feature prominently in the meals celebrating the festival.

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Why take part on Bug Busting Days? \n Because informed\, united action stops head lice from circulating endlessly. Combing wet\, conditioned hair with a Bug Buster comb is a reliable detection method even when very few lice are present. Thoroughly wet lice stay still; dry or damp lice move quickly away from disturbance evading detection. \n Bug Busting is an educational programme in reliable head louse detection. It delivers the ‘whole school approach’ (National Healthy School Standard).

Thanks must go to Kevin\, Pippa\, Martin\, Marion\, and all the Team the SfS Admin who collected and disseminated all the information coming at them about events\, venues\, times and prices. Without them and their sterling work little or none of the many entertaining hours spent by audiences would have been known about. \n To tellers all who have given time and made with their tale a timeless memory\, our grateful thanks for the gift given – and to those who heard and listened and walked away carrying that tale with them\, my hopes go out too to share the tale they heard. \n The Society for Storytelling can be contacted all year round\, look to the venues and events. \n Remember everyone has at least one story to tell. It exists in the very air around you – Your story is the one you know best and as it is only the beginning\, the stories you will tell might begin with…Once upon a time or not in my time\, not in your time but in someone’s time… \n Enjoy!  \n National Storytelling Week 2021 will run from January 30th to February 6th. HOWEVER Don’t forget too that the four day prior to and the four day’s after those dates\, they are part are still part of the festival of storytelling too.

SUMMARY:Holocaust Memorial Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) is the charity which promotes and supports Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD). 27 January is the day for everyone to remember the millions of people killed in the Holocaust\, Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia\, Rwanda\, Bosnia\, and Darfur. \n 27 January marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau\, the largest Nazi death camp. \n Torn from home encouraged audiences to reflect on how the enforced loss of a safe place to call ‘home’ is part of the trauma faced by anyone experiencing persecution and genocide. ‘Home’ usually means a place of safety\, comfort and security. On HMD 2019 we reflected on what happens when individuals\, families and communities are driven out of\, or wrenched from their homes\, because of persecution or the threat of genocide\, alongside the continuing difficulties survivors face as they try to find and build new homes when the genocide is over. \n Previous HMD have included marking the 25th anniversary of the Genocide in Rwanda\, which began in April 1994 and the 40th anniversary of the end of the Genocide in Cambodia\, which ended in 1979. HMD activity organisers may particularly want to acknowledge this milestone anniversary\, and reflect on how this theme impacts on members of the Rwandan and Cambodian communities. \n Download a copy of the full theme vision here. \n Download the Welsh/English version of the theme vision here. \n Scope of the theme \n   The meaning of home before genocide \n a) What makes a home? \n b) Fleeing from home before genocide \n   Torn from home during genocide \n a) Forced from home \n b) Finding an alternative home \n c) Making a home a refuge \n   A home after genocide \n a) Returning home \n b) No home to return to \n c) An empty home \n d) Making others feel at home

SUMMARY:Australia Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Australia Day is celebrated on January 26 each year and commemorates the first landing in Australia by Captain Arthur Phillip. Although Australia Day officially takes place on the 26th January each year\, if the 26th happens to fall on a Saturday or Sunday\, celebrations actually then take place on the following Monday. \n Most Australians consider January 26 with national pride\, flying the Australian flag from businesses\, homes\, cars and even their babies. They attend festivals\, fireworks\, community and sporting events or gather for family barbecues at homes\, parks or on the beach. \n Australia Day\, 26 January\, is the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of 11 convict ships from Great Britain\, and the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by its commander Captain Arthur Phillip\, in 1788. \n Though 26 January marks this specific event\, today Australia Day celebrations reflect contemporary Australia: the diverse society and landscape and many remarkable achievements. It also is an opportunity to reflect on Australia’s national history. \n On Australia Day\, over half of the nation’s population of 21 million attend either an organised community event\, or get together with family and friends with the intention of celebrating this national day. Many more spend the public holiday relaxing with family and friends. \n Australia Day is much more than barbeques and fireworks. It is more than another public holiday. It is more than the pride and excitement of new citizens who call themselves Australian for the first time on 26 January after being conferred citizenship. \n At its core\, Australia Day is a day driven by communities\, and the celebrations held in each town\, suburb or city ‚and unified by the celebration of what is great about Australia and being Australian.

SUMMARY:Winnie The Pooh Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:One of the cuddliest holidays around has to be Winnie the Pooh Day\, celebrated on the birthday of author A A Milne. It’s one special anniversary fans just can’t bear to miss! Every year\, the occasion is marked with events such as teddy bears’ picnics\, featuring plenty of honey on the menu. \n Winnie the Pooh first appeared on the printed page in 1926\, together with friends Piglet\, Tigger and Eeyore. All of them were based on toys owned by the author’s son\, who also featured in the famous stories as Christopher Robin. The character later starred in a series of much-loved Disney films. One extra-special way to mark the day is to visit Pooh Corner in Hartfield\, East Sussex\, where the books were written. You can pick up a map to follow in the characters’ footsteps\, and even play a game of Poohsticks on the original bridge.

SUMMARY:STIQ Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:STIQ Day has been launched to get people thinking about their sexual health and encourage more people to get regular sexual health checks. No one likes to think they’ve caught a sexually transmitted infection (STI) but without a test you just can’t be sure.\n This year STIQ Day takes place on 14th January\, a date chosen because many common STIs such as Chlamydia can take two weeks to be detectable. If your festive season included unprotected sex then you should be thinking about getting tested now. Also with just one month to go before Valentine’s Day anyone hoping to enjoy the celebrations to the full should do so knowing that they are infection free and will not be putting someone else’s sexual health in danger. \n More and more people in the UK are catching STIs and each year the infection rate is rising. Regardless of how old you are\, if you’re gay or straight\, if you’ve had one partner or 100 just one unprotected sexual encounter could have put you at risk of catching an STI. \n Even if you feel perfectly healthy you could still be carrying something. Often getting routinely tested is the only way that people can detect an infection and the earlier they are tested and treated\, the less chance there is of long-term damage being caused. \n Getting a sexual health check is easy and shouldn’t be embarrassing or shameful; sex is a normal part of adult life so sexual health checks should be to. It’s a quick\, simple process that not only puts your mind at rest but could protect your fertility or even save your life or that of your partner \n So use STIQ Day to get smart about your sexual health

SUMMARY:World Braille Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Get ready\, because on January 4th it’s time to celebrate World Braille Day! I’m sure you can guess that this is a day of celebrating the innovation of braille\, but what is it\, really? \n What is World Braille Day all about? \n World Braille Day is celebrated every year on January 4th because it is Louis Braille’s birthday\, the inventor of braille! Louis was born in 1809 in France. He became blind after a childhood accident\, and he quickly mastered his new way of living. When he was just 15 years old\, he created the system we know today as braille\, based on a system of writing developed by Charles Barbier. Over the years braille was tweaked to make it easier to read\, and now it’s used the world over! \n Celebrate Braille Literacy \n World Braille Day is a reminder of the importance of accessibility and independence for those who are blind or visually-impaired. The reality is that many everyday establishments — restaurants\, banks\, hospitals — aren’t equipped with braille menus\, statements or bills. That means people with blindness or a vision impairment aren’t given the freedom to choose their own dinner … or to keep their finances private. \n World Braille Day spreads awareness about braille and other accessible forms of communication. Everyone deserves (and is legally entitled to) the same accommodations and service\, regardless of ability. On World Braille Day\, let’s remember that and do our part to make our workplaces more accessible for everyone. \n Braille literacy is also an important factor in equal opportunities for people with blindness. You can learn more about how literacy inequality affects those with a visual disability in our blog\, Inequality in Literacy for People with Visual Disabilities. \n Louis Braille didn’t get to see just how helpful his invention became. He died in 1852\, and it wasn’t until 2 years later that the school he attended as a child\, France’s Royal Institute for Blind Youth\, began teaching it to students. In 1916 it was used widely at schools for the blind in the United States. Today\, you’ll find braille on objects you use every day—signs\, ATMs\, elevators\, calculators\, and more. Rubix cubes\, watches\, legos\, and other innovations are constantly changing the way that Braille is used.

SUMMARY:National Mentoring Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a great way to start your New Year? Participate in National Mentoring Month 2021. \n Established in 2002 by MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership & Harvard TH School of Public Health\, the campaign aims to raise awareness about the need for more Mentors in society as well as encouraging more people to actively become mentors to young people. The campaign celebrates the effects that mentoring young people can have on individuals and society. \n It has 3 target goals: \n Raise awareness of mentoring in its various forms \n Recruit individuals to mentor\, especially in programs that have waiting lists of young people \n Promote the rapid growth of mentoring by recruiting organizations to engage their constituents in mentoring. \n Local organizations are supported by leading National partners in their quest to raise awareness by arranging local events and publicity. The campaign has attracted large numbers of high profile supporters all assisting the overall aim of raising awareness and increasing mentor numbers. \n So why mentor? \n Mentoring can have a significant impact on a young person’s life\, prospects and outlook. It is a key way of ensuring that young people know that they have someone on hand that they can rely on\, provide emotional support\, educational and career guidance and generally be there to guide them. According to data\, one in three young people will grow up without a mentor. Some statistics taken from the Mentoring.org website include: \n Students who meet regularly with their mentors are 52% less likely than their peers to skip a day of school and 37% less likely to skip a class \n Young adults who face an opportunity gap but have a mentor are 55% more likely to be enrolled in college than those who did not have a mentor. \n In addition to better school attendance and a better chance of going on to higher education\, mentored youth maintain better attitudes toward school \n 46% less likely than their peers to start using illegal drugs and 27% less likely to start drinking. \n 81% more likely to participate regularly in sports or extracurricular activities than those who do not \n A study showed that the strongest benefit from mentoring\, and most consistent across risk groups\, was a reduction in depressive symptoms ‚ particularly noteworthy given that almost one in four youth reported worrisome levels of these symptoms at baseline. \n There are several ways to become involved with the campaign be it as a mentor yourself or if you are seeking a mentor to guide you or a friend or family member. You can check to see if there is a Mentoring Partnership in your area\, and if not contact MENTOR directly for more information. \n With statistics\, facts and case studies showing the positive effect that mentoring can have on young people\, it is something that collectively we can make huge progress with- the effect that you could have on a young person’s life is surely worth investigating. And if you feel you need a mentor then get in touch and take the first step in improving your own life. \n Visit the website for more information and support. \n #Mentoringmonth

SUMMARY:National Slavery & Human Trafficking Prevention Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. \n The month of January was first declared as such in 2010 by the then President of the USA\, Barack Obama. Slavery and human trafficking is often considered a historic problem but sadly it is an issue which is growing on a worldwide basis and one which many people in our communities could be vulnerable to. A highly lucrative business\, albeit a criminal one\, here in the USA we are seeing an increase in the number of instances reported and it for these reasons that the awareness raising prevention month was established. \n Many organizations across the USA have developed awareness raising campaigns and material to help educate us all of the signs\, threats and behaviours that are often displayed by those operating in or being subjected to slavery and human trafficking. \n Some of the organizations involved and equipped to handle such matters include The National Human Trafficking Resource Centre\, The National Child Traumatic Stress Centre and The United Nations Blue Heart Campaign. \n These organizations illustrate the problem effectively through their use of frightening statistics and have some fantastic resources that assists in the identification of potentially vulnerable people – particularly our young people. \n So take some time this January to find out more and help put an end to these horrific criminal acts. \n   \n   \n

SUMMARY:Wright Brothers Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:On the morning of December 17th\, 1903 in Kitty Hawk\, North Carolina\, brothers Wilbur & Orville Wright successfully flew Wright Flyer I\, the heavier than air powered aircraft through the skies on a 12 second flight marking the first ever event of its kind and thus creating a momentous historical occasion. As a result albeit many years later in 1959\, President D Eisenhower established December 17th as Wright Brothers Day. \nThe Wright brothers became interested in flying in early childhood\, when their father bought them a toy helicopter. They liked the toy so much that when it broke\, they built their own. After many years of interest\, in the late 19th century they came up with the idea of three-axis control which made it possible for the pilot to maintain the aircraft’s equilibrium and to steer it effectively. Orville and Wilbur Wright used this principle to design and build a series of manned gliders. Their experience testing gliders helped them create the Flyer (which is now referred to as the Wright Flyer\, Flyer I or 1903 Flyer). It was made from spruce\, a strong and lightweight wood.They made their first attempt at powered flight on December 14\, 1903\, but it was unsuccessful. Repairs took three days. On December 17\, the brothers made another attempt with Orville piloting the Flyer. The brothers made another three flights that day\, taking turns. \nTheir success is an important milestone in the development of aeronautics\, and is therefore no surprise its anniversary is celebrated as a national observance.

SUMMARY:Pan American Aviation Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Pan American Aviation Day is an annual national observance in the United States. It is observed on December 17 and falls on the same day as Brothers Wright Day\, which is not surprising as both observances commemorate the same event. \nOn December 17\, 1903 Orville and Wilbur Wright accomplished the first successful flight of a mechanically propelled heavier-than-air craft near Kitty Hawk\, North Carolina. This event is considered to be a pivotal milestone in the development of aeronautics which led to breakthrough developments. \nPan American Aviation Day was declared by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was first observed in 1940 and has been proclaimed every year since then. This observance focuses on stimulating interest in aviation in the American countries. Its ultimate goal is to contribute to the development of more rapid communications and cultural ties between the countries in the Western hemisphere. Pan American Aviation Day is not a public holiday therefore government offices\, educational establishments\, and businesses do not close on this day. However\, schools often organize trips to aviation centers or museums and classroom activities devoted to the history of aviation.

SUMMARY:Tree Dressing Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Tree dressing\, in the first weekend of December\, is based on many old customs from all over the world and at different times of the year.\nTree Dressing Day falls on the first weekend of December. It was initiated by Common Ground in 1990 and has grown to become much more than an expression of a love for trees. It is a chance for the whole community to gather and celebrate the leafy friends we all have in common. It’s also a chance for communities to reflect on the social and cultural history of their local area\, and the role trees have played in shaping this story.\nTrees have long been celebrated for their spiritual significance. The simplicity of tying strips of cloth or yarn to a tree is universal and timeless. The old Celtic custom of tying cloth dipped in water from a holy well to a clootie tree‚echoes the practice in Japan of decorating trees with strips of white paper\, or tanzaku\, bearing wishes and poems. The twenty-first century trend of yarn bombing‚in Europe and North America transforms the local landscape with bright fabrics and yarns\, like the Buddhist tradition of tying ribbons around the trunk of the Bodhi tree in homage to Buddha\, or the annual Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan when coloured strings are tied onto trees and plants to call upon the power of nature to protect loved ones.\nThese deep and diverse cultural associations provide a rich basis for tree festivities across the world. The act of dressing a tree binds us to it and celebrates the unique role that trees have in our local neighbourhoods.\nTree dressing is a powerful way of expressing our relationship with trees. Organising a Tree Dressing Day in your community is a wonderful way of saying thank you‚to the trees where you live. It is also the ideal moment to share tree stories with friends\, neighbours and colleagues. This year and every year join the many thousands of people across the UK who celebrate Tree Dressing Day and make sure your community’s voice is heard by saying thank you to the trees in your neighbourhood.

SUMMARY:World Soil Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:World Soil Day 2019 is on December 5th\, this annual awareness day run by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)\, is usually held on the same date every year. The event aims to raise awareness of the importance of soil quality for human well-being\, food security and ecosystems\, and events are held at the UN FAO offices and through community based events. The day was first considered by the International Union of Soil Sciences in 2002\, but was not officially endorsed by FAO until 2013. \nSoil is the top layer of the earth\, the layer which everyone is familiar with\, but not everyone knows much about\, many householders don’t even know if their garden is clay\, loam or sandy soil or a mixture\, but the knowledge of soil type\, structure\, management and condition is what can make the difference between good plant growth and a thriving ecosystem and a wasteland. \nSoil is made up of organic and inorganic matter\, air and water\, and the mixture depends on the way the soil is managed or neglected\, which in turn impacts on how plants grow. The human race is dependent on soil for food\, and soil erosion and poison leads to famine\, soil also holds significant carbon\, which is lost through erosion\, which increases climate change. \nWe all depend on soil\, so the more that that is understood of it\, the better the human race thrives\, from beautiful gardens to crops that produce our food\, an example is where programmes in Africa have taught small farmers to manage soil against drought and erosion\, meaning bigger and better crops and less hunger and poverty in some areas. \nMembers of the public can liaise with FAO to run soil themed events for World Soil Day\, educating people on soil and the significance of soil and it’s treatment.

SUMMARY:White Ribbon Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is White Ribbon Day?\nWhite Ribbon Day is held on November 25th\, also known as the International Day for the Eradication of Violence against Women\, and is an annual day to raise awareness of family violence. The day is run by the White Ribbon Campaign. \nViolence against women is a global problem\, and we need to do something about it. \nOn White Ribbon Day Thursday 25 November\, and the 16 days to end violence against women that follow\, we are asking people in their communities\, organisations and workplaces\, to come together\, and say ‘no’ to violence against women. \nWhen men lead by example as allies for gender equality then change will happen faster. We can all play our part – at home or work; on the sports field or in the classroom – every man has an important role to play in ending male violence towards women. \n\nWhen is White Ribbon Day?\nWhite Ribbon Day is held on November 25th. \n\nHistory of White Ribbon Day\nWhite Ribbon Day has been running for 17 years\, and was founded by a group of men in Canada who felt that they had to raise awareness and work towards prevention of violence against women. The White Ribbon Campaign and Day spread through Canada\, with hundreds of thousands of people joining the event in the first year\, and wearing white ribbons to oppose violence against women \nThe event then spread beyond Canada\, becoming international\, and the UK branch of the White Ribbon Campaign was founded in 2004 and has continued to grow since then. \nThe wearing of the white ribbon stands for never taking part in\, condoning or staying silent about violence against women. And on White Ribbon Day\, men and boys are encouraged to wear the white ribbon on November 25th and for a week or two afterwards to support and highlight that pledge. \nThe White Ribbon Campaign runs all year round\, and works to raise awareness of violence against women\, encouraging men to support women’s groups and raise awareness in schools and workplaces\, of violence against women\, and to raise money for the White Ribbon Campaign. The campaign distributes awareness information to schools\, maintains a website and run events\, and works tirelessly to prevent violence against women\, undoubtedly saving lives and preventing injuries as it does. \nHow to get Involved in White Ribbon Day\nPlease help us reach as many individuals\, workplaces\, communities and schools as we can. \nSome starter ideas: \n\n\nHow many people can you get to wear a white ribbon – Everyone in your workplace? All your friends? \n\n\nBe active on social media follow us and spread the word using #WhiteRibbon #AllMenCan #MakeThePromise \n\n\nFind out about becoming a White Ribbon accredited or supporter organisation \n\n\nDownload – Donate -Display the White Ribbon Promise Poster  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:World Television Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of the increasing impact television has on decision-making by bringing world attention to conflicts and threats to peace and security and its potential role in sharpening the focus on other major issues\, including economic and social issues\, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 21 November as World Television Day (through resolution 51/205 of 17 December 1996). \nWorld Television Day is not so much a celebration of the tool\, but rather the philosophy which it represents. Television represents a symbol for communication and globalisation in the contemporary world.

SUMMARY:Transgender Day of Rembrance 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Transgender Day of Remembrance or International Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day that is held annually on the 20th November to memorialise those individuals who have been murdered as a result of transphobia. It also aims to draw attention to the violence that is carried out towards many in the transgender community. \nThe Transgender Day of Remembrance was established in 1999 when transgender advocate Gwendolyn Anne Smith arranged a vigil as a memorial to transgender woman Rita Hester killed in 1998. Initially a small local event it has grown to be an internationally recognised annual event\, with events held in 185 cities across 20 countries. \nNow supported and promoted by GLAAD\, the awareness campaign receives much media coverage and support from transgender advocates. With candlelit vigils held where the names of those who have lost their lives are read out\, and marches taking place in communities across the world along with many other events\, there is plenty to get involved with. This is an opportunity to remember those we have lost in such horrific circumstances\, come together to overcome divisions in our community\, heal and grieve with other people affected by this terrible issue and attempt to find a way to educate those who are transphobic. \nVisit the GLAAD website where there is ideas for arranging your own awareness event\, along with many more statistics\, information and information about Transgender Awareness Week.

SUMMARY:World Toilet Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is World Toilet Day?\nMore than 4.2 billion people lack access to safely managed sanitation\, and the consequences are devastating. Lack of sanitation is linked with increasing rates of poverty and disease\, especially in developing countries where open defecation is most common. \nThe World Toilet Day campaign aims to raise awareness about the global sanitation crisis. It also focuses on building support for Sustainable Development Goal 6 by 2030 – to achieve universal access to safely managed toilets and clean drinking water. \nWorld Toilet Day (WTD) is an annual event aimed at raising awareness about the global sanitation challenge and mobilising action to tackle it. WTD aims to provide people with information on how they can help solve this problem through behaviour change initiatives in their homes\, schools\, workplaces or communities. \nEveryone can help make a difference when it comes to improving sanitation around the world – from governments\, businesses\, communities and individuals alike. The easiest way? Raise awareness about sustainable sanitation practices so more people will think about their own behaviour towards better toilet hygiene \nFighting Climate Change\nToilets can help us fight climate change too! Waste from flush toilets contains valuable water and nutrients\, while generating energy for the environment. Sustainable sanitation systems make productive use of this waste in order reduce agriculture emissions or capture more greener power with anaerobic digestion technologies. \nSustainable sanitation begins with a toilet that effectively captures human waste in a safe\, accessible\, and dignified setting. The waste then gets stored in a tank\, which can be emptied later by a collection service\, or transported away by pipework. \nThe next stage is treatment and safe disposal. Safe reuse of human waste helps save water\, reduces and captures greenhouse gas emissions for energy production\, and can provide agriculture with a reliable source of water and nutrients. \nWhen is World Toilet Day?\nWorld Toilet Day is celebrated every 19 November. \nJoin the global #WorldToiletDay conversation and show the world how much you care about toilets. \nYou are a vital part of the World Toilet Day campaign running up to 19 November 2021. Get involved on social media using #WorldToiletDay. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Alcohol Awareness Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is Alcohol Awareness Week?\nIt’s estimated that 1 in 3 people will be affected by alcohol-related problems at some point in their lives\, and it’s also linked to around 60 different health conditions including heart disease\, cancer and liver disease. \nIn the UK\, alcohol misuse costs society around £3\,5 billion each year. This is due to alcohol-related crime and anti-social behaviour\, as well as healthcare costs like emergency admissions and treatment for conditions caused by drinking too much. \nThis year’s Alcohol Awareness Week campaign focuses on relationships because these are often damaged by harmful drinking patterns such as binge-drinking and domestic violence. Our aim is to raise awareness about how harmful alcohol can be for our relationships with ourselves\, others and society as a whole through events across the country during Alcohol Awareness Week. \nWhen is Alcohol Awareness Week?\n\n15-21 November 2021 \n\n\nWhat is this years theme for Alcohol Awareness Week?\nAlcohol Awareness Week is a chance for the UK to get thinking about drinking. It’s an opportunity in which we can raise awareness and campaign for change.  This years theme is focusing on “Alcohol and relationships.” \nAlcohol and relationships are closely linked. Many of us associate alcohol and socialising\, and alcohol can become a big part of our connections and interactions with those around us. But when our own or a loved one’s drinking starts to negatively affect our relationships\, or stands in the way of us taking action on our own drinking\, it can have a huge impact on our lives. \nOn top of this\, research shows that many of us have found ourselves drinking more to deal with feelings of loneliness and isolation during the pandemic. As we leave lockdown and return to normal life there will be new pressures too – pressures to drink\, ‘sober shaming’\, and pressures we put on ourselves to get back to ‘normal’ socialising. \nSo this Alcohol Awareness Week\, we’ll be looking at the ways in which alcohol can affect our relationships and sharing stories\, factsheets\, tips and more. \n

SUMMARY:Geography Awareness Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:National Geography Week was established by National Geographic as a way to educate people about how the decisions that they make in every day life affect the world we live in.  Geography can be best described as the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments – so it really does affect us all.  You don’t have to be an activist\, eco-warrior or as high profile as Greta Thunberg to become involved! \nAs Global citizens it is important that we are up to speed with current and future geographical issues\, and are well informed to positively impact our surroundings. \nWith little education historically taking place about these matters\, National Geographic identified huge gaps in Americans knowledge and therefore began this campaign to raise awareness\, educate and most importantly inspire people to become better informed and active. \nEstablished by presidential proclamation more than 25 years ago\, this annual public awareness program encourages citizens young and old to think and learn about the significance of place and how we affect and are affected by it.  Every year more than 100\,000 people participate in National Geography week and contribute to its events\, games\, classroom challenges.  It is also a perfect time to engage with business leaders and policy makers in an attempt to positively influence decisions. \nCurrently a topic with huge media and political focus\, this is a great opportunity to expand your own knowledge and share it with others within your community.  Who knows…if we all took part\, imagine the positive changes we could make on our world.

SUMMARY:Anti Bullying Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is Anti Bullying Week?\nBullying is a serious issue that affects many children\, teenagers and adults. \nOne of the most important things we can do to fight bullying is to raise awareness about it among all people involved in this process — parents\, teachers\, and students. It’s also crucial for everyone to know what they should do if they witness or experience bullying. \nAnti-Bullying Week is coordinated in England and Wales by the Anti-Bullying Alliance\, an international organisation that aims to eliminate bullying from society. One of their main initiatives for this year’s event has been Odd Socks Day on November 15th which was supported by CBBC star Andy Day with his band “Andy And The Odd socks.” \nKindness has never been more important than right now. It’s a time where kindness can break down barriers and brighten the lives of those around us! That’s why ‘One Kind Word’ was chosen as our Anti-bullying week theme this year – from November 15th to 19th\, you’ll be able take part in all sorts activities with other people who want their communities filled up by love instead hate \nAnti-Bullying Week was started in 2005 and since then has grown into one of the biggest anti-bullying events in England with thousands of schools taking part each year. The idea behind this week is simple — bring together as many people as possible under one umbrella so that we can work together on this common problem and make our world a better place for everyone! \nWhen is Anti Bullying Week?\nAnti-bullying week is a nationwide event that takes place in England from November 15th to 19th. This annual campaign\, organised by the Anti Bullying Alliance and supported by schools across Great Britain aims at raising awareness among children about the issue of bullying; especially within their own neighbourhood or school community \nParents\, carers and teachers will also be asked to play an active role in preventing bullying\, with the main focus this time around is demonstrating different ways to support young people and provide an open platform for them to talk about any issues they have with bullying. The main role that carers can provide is creating a safe environment where young people can feel like they are able to talk about their feelings and problems and will receive support. \nHow can I help raise awareness for Anti Bullying Week?\nOne word can change someone’s day. One kind phrase\, and it could be the difference between feeling hopeful for a moment or sinking into depression all day long- we should say “Hey” more often! \nOne gentle sentence spoken aloud has an astonishing power: It impacts us as much (if not more) than those around us; because once that person feels seen by us–and heard too—their mood improves exponentially.

SUMMARY:Geography Awareness Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:National Geography Week was established by National Geographic as a way to educate people about how the decisions that they make in every day life affect the world we live in.  Geography can be best described as the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments – so it really does affect us all.  You don’t have to be an activist\, eco-warrior or as high profile as Greta Thunberg to become involved! \nAs Global citizens it is important that we are up to speed with current and future geographical issues\, and are well informed to positively impact our surroundings. \nWith little education historically taking place about these matters\, National Geographic identified huge gaps in Americans knowledge and therefore began this campaign to raise awareness\, educate and most importantly inspire people to become better informed and active. \nEstablished by presidential proclamation more than 25 years ago\, this annual public awareness program encourages citizens young and old to think and learn about the significance of place and how we affect and are affected by it.  Every year more than 100\,000 people participate in National Geography week and contribute to its events\, games\, classroom challenges.  It is also a perfect time to engage with business leaders and policy makers in an attempt to positively influence decisions. \nCurrently a topic with huge media and political focus\, this is a great opportunity to expand your own knowledge and share it with others within your community.  Who knows…if we all took part\, imagine the positive changes we could make on our world.

SUMMARY:Children’s Book Week - Fall 2021
DESCRIPTION:The theme for Fall 2021 is yet to be confirmed…but watch this space! \nRecognised as the longest running national literacy initiative in the USA\, running since 1919\, there is absolutely TONNES of stuff  to get involved with and encourage children to read and love books. \nThe event is SO popular  that the organizers run 2 different weeks of celebration and activity: \nMay 4-10\, 2020 and November 9-15\, 2020!\nEvents take place in schools\, libraries\, bookstores and within your own home should you choose! \nThe week long awareness campaign has a fascinating history.  Initially set up by the librarian of the Boy Scouts of America\, who in turn recruited Frederic G. Melcher\, the visionary editor of Publishers Weekly who believed that “a great nation is a reading nation\,” and Anne Carroll Moore\, the Superintendent of Children’s Works at the New York Public Library and a major figure in the library world. Form then on\, Children’s Book Week grew and was supported and backed by more and more organizations with the Children’s Book Council leading the way since 1944. \nWe know that not all children enjoy reading\, but this is a superb opportunity to encourage those less interested as well as providing those who love reading to read a little bit more and share their love!

SUMMARY:Guy Fawkes Night 2021 (Bonfire Night)
DESCRIPTION:Guy Fawkes Night\, also known as Guy Fawkes Day\, Bonfire Night and Firework Night\, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November\, primarily in Great Britain. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605\, when Guy Fawkes\, a member of the Gunpowder Plot\, was arrested while guarding explosivesthe plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life\, people lit bonfires around London\, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Actenforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot’s failure. \nWithin a few decades Gunpowder Treason Day\, as it was known\, became the predominant English state commemoration\, but as it carried strong Protestant religious overtones it also became a focus for anti-Catholic sentiment. Puritans delivered sermons regarding the perceived dangers of popery\, while during increasingly raucous celebrations common folk burnt effigies of popular hate-figures\, such as the pope. Towards the end of the 18th century reports appear of children begging for money with effigies of Guy Fawkes and 5 November gradually became known as Guy Fawkes Day. Towns such as Lewes and Guildford were in the 19th century scenes of increasingly violent class-based confrontations\, fostering traditions those towns celebrate still\, albeit peaceably. In the 1850s changing attitudes resulted in the toning down of much of the day’s anti-Catholic rhetoric\, and the Observance of 5th November Act was repealed in 1859. Eventually the violence was dealt with\, and by the 20th century Guy Fawkes Day had become an enjoyable social commemoration\, although lacking much of its original focus. The present-day Guy Fawkes Night is usually celebrated at large organised events\, centred on a bonfire and extravagant firework displays.

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:The aim on national Bug Busting Days is to find all the head lice and zap them in one fell swoop.  This stops them from circulating endlessly. \nOften a child who has caught head lice in the last month will show no obvious symptoms\, but they are still contagious.  In most cases there will be just 10 or so lice on the head\, and parents will not discover them unless they use a Bug Buster Kit.  This contains the unique Bug Buster combs\, expressly designed and scientifically tested for accurate louse detection\, and full\, easy-to-follow instructions on using them with ordinary shampoo and conditioner.  Remember it is always necessary to check again the Bug Busting way after treatment because none is guaranteed to kill all head lice and their eggs. \nYou can also check out this NHS Choices website entry on head lice.  It includes a clear explanation of how head lice are caught and what environmental precautions are relevant to control. \nThe charity Community Hygiene Concern produces Bug Busting materials for schools and Bug Buster Kits for families on a not-for-profit basis. \nIf you require any further information you can: \n 	Ring the Bug Buster Help Line on 01908 561928\n 	Email bugbusters2k@yahoo.co.uk or\n 	Visit the official National Bug Busting Day website \nSchools and nurseries up and down the country introduce parents to Bug Busting and louse control becomes fun\, without tears\, based on sound science. \nBug Busting Days are organised by the charity Community Hygiene Concern in partnership with the Department of Health. \nBug Busting Days take place on 31 January\, 15 June and 31 October.

SUMMARY:National Adoption Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is National Adoption Week?\nNational Adoption Week hopes to promote a better understanding of adoption through real life stories from many different points of view including adoptees themselves and adoptive parents – hearing what it means to them and how they feel about having been adopted or previous adoptive parents and family members in welcoming somebody else into their family. \nIn the UK\, there are almost 3\,000 children in need of an adoptive family and the number of adoptions in England has fallen by a third in four years. In response to this #YouCanAdopt aims to break down barriers for potential adopters by encouraging them to talk about their decision with friends and family and helping to guide potential candidates in learning more about what the adoption process involves. \nAs ever the campaign will also aim to find homes for those children who so desperately need them. \nWhen is National Adoption Week?\nThis National Adoption Week will take place between the 18th and 24th October. During this year’s National Adoption Week you can find out more about what’s happening here .

SUMMARY:National Coming Out Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is National Coming Out Day?\nNational coming out day is celebrated on October 11th on a yearly basis. It grows and becomes more well known every single year. National coming out day is a time for those in the LGBT community to finally be open about who they are to their friends\, family and the world! \nThis day was actually founded way back in 1988 and since then it has hit the world by storm. Being out and proud as a lesbian person\, a bisexual person\, a gay person or a trans person is such a liberation and is sure to completely transform your life for the better. \nThere is no question that homophobia and ignorance builds on silence so it is time to end that silence. Being proud of who you are and who you live will make you happier within yourself. Research has shown that if somebody KNOWS somebody who is part of the LGBT community\, they are much less likely to be homophobic. \n‘Coming out’ basically means expressing your sexuality to the world in order to end the stigma and this is exactly what NCDO is about. Get out of that closest and do it proudly on this special day of the year. \n  \nWhen is National Coming Out Day?\nNational coming out day is celebrated on October 11th on a yearly basis.

SUMMARY:World Teachers Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Also known as International Teachers Day\, World Teachers Day is held yearly on October 5. Since its set up in 1994\, the day celebrates the marking of the ” teaching in Freedom” in 1996. Last year the theme was “Engaging Teachers”. It is observed all over the world over since 1994 after the UNESCO Recommendation concerning Teachers. \nWhat is the purpose of the World Teachers Day?\nIts point is to centre around “acknowledging\, evaluating and enhancing the instructors of the world” and to give a chance to consider the issues identified with educators and the teaching process in general. \nLate year World Teachers’ Day honoured the twentieth commemoration of the 1997 UNESCO points concerning the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel\, bringing the occasionally disregarded zone of showing staff at Higher Education foundations into the discussion about teachers. In 2018 the teachers day will be on a Friday\, and it is worth following. \nThe event has consistently been held on October 5 since 1994 and the goal is the same; to honours educators’ associations around the world. Its point is to prepare to bolster for instructors and to guarantee that the requirements of future ages will keep on being met by educators. \nAs indicated by UNESCO\, World Teachers’ Day speaks to a massive token of the mindfulness\, comprehension and thankfulness showed for the fundamental commitment that educators make in advancement by teaching. \nThe Education International (EI) organisation firmly trusts that World Teachers’ Day ought to be globally perceived and celebrated far and wide. EI likewise believes that the standards of the 1966/97 suggestions ought to be considered for execution in all countries. \nMore than 100 nations celebrate the World Teachers’ Day globally. The endeavours of Education International and its 401 associations have added to this broadly spread acknowledgement. Consistently\, EI dispatches an open mindfulness crusade to feature the commitments of the teaching calling.

SUMMARY:National Baby Swimming Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:LET’S GET CHILDREN SWIMMING \nSince March 2020\, every aspect of children’s education has been impacted\, and this includes the life-saving skill of learning how to swim. The Impact of Coronavirus on School Swimming and Water Safety report reveals that more than one million children could leave school unexpected to swim. And even before the pandemic\, almost one in four children could not swim the statutory 25 metres when they left primary school. \nThis National Baby Swimming Week\, we want to raise awareness about the benefits of getting children into a pool as early as possible and get them swimming. Baby swimming doesn’t just teach little one’s key water safety skills but can boost their confidence in and out of the water. Who knows\, your little one could be part of the next generation of swimming Olympians?

SUMMARY:Wool Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:After careful consideration\, it is with great regret that we write to inform you that Shetland Wool Week 2021 is cancelled due to the ongoing concerns relating to the Coronavirus pandemic.  We are deeply saddened that our annual gathering of wool aficionados and friends will not take place this autumn. \nWe have held off in the hope that there would be more positive news. While the initial roll out of vaccines is encouraging\, it is still a time of great uncertainty and our primary concern is for the safety of the island community and our Wool Week visitors\, who join us from all over the world. It is our view that cancelling the event is the responsible thing to do. \nHaving reviewed the situation in detail we do not feel we can deliver a socially distanced physical event that will capture the spirit of SWW. So many of you join us to make friends in large and small groups\, be spontaneous\, take hands-on\, practical classes\, and drop in to the numerous events that are laid on by the Shetland public throughout the isles. \nWe want to deliver a Wool Week that you have come to know and love and we will prepare for something really special for 2022. \nFor this year though\, we will replace the event with an online version during what would have been SWW: 25 September – 3 October 2021 and build on the success and enthusiasm for last year’s virtual programme.  A SWW Annual publication for 2021 is also planned. \nAs always\, we thank you for your continued support and we look forward to sharing our virtual plans with you. In the meantime you can look back at some of our virtual highlights from last year on our YouTube channel and on SWW IGTV. \nThe Campaign for Wool’s annual Wool Week is designed to educate\, inspire and promote the benefits of wool. This will run from the 25th September 3rd October.

SUMMARY:Child Health Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Child Health Day is a national observance in the United States observed on the first Monday of October annually. \nThis observance focuses on raising people’s awareness about how they can protect and develop children’s health. \nChild Health Day was first celebrated in 1928\, after the proclamation by President Calvin Coolidge. It was initially observed on May 1 however in 1960\, it was moved to the first Monday of October and has been observed on this day every year since then. \nAlthough it is a national observance\, it does not have the status of a public holiday. \nOn Child Health Day\, many health organizations and health professionals across the country organize various activities and events aimed at informing parents of the importance of prenatal and newborn care\, regular doctor visits\, healthy eating and physical activity as well as the means of preventing and treating illnesses and injuries. This national observance is supported by many organizations such as the Health Resources and Services Administration and the Maternal and Child Health Library. \nThe health of our children should always be of primary importance to us\, therefore this important awareness campaign deserves our full support. Why not make use of the many tools available from the many agencies participating in the campaign to educate yourself and your children about good health practices?

SUMMARY:World Habitat Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October of every year as World Habitat Day. \nThe purpose of World Habitat Day is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities\, and on the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world that we all have the power and the responsibility to shape the future of our cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day was established in 1985 by the United Nations General Assembly through Resolution 40/202\, and was first celebrated in 1986. \nEach year\, World Habitat Day takes on a new theme to bring attention to UN-Habitat’s mandate to promote sustainable development policies that ensure adequate shelter for all. \nThe theme for this year’s World Habitat Day is Accelerating urban action for a carbon-free world.  Cities are responsible for some 70 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions with transport\, buildings\, energy\, and waste management accounting for the bulk of urban greenhouse gas emissions. \nThe future of our planet depends on national\, regional and local governments and organizations\, communities\, academic institutions\, the private sector and all relevant stakeholders working together to create sustainable\, carbon-neutral\, inclusive cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day will amplify the global Race to Zero Campaign and UN-Habitat’s ClimateAction4Cities and encourage local governments to develop actionable zero-carbon plans in the run up to the international climate change summit COP26 in November. \nMore information about this year’s World Habitat Day celebrations will be posted soon. \nPlease feel free to contact us on our NEW email address: unhabitat-whd@un.org

SUMMARY:National Bullying Prevention Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is National Bullying Prevention Month?\nAs a parent\, as I’m sure many of you are\, one of my worst fears is to find that my children are either being bullied\, or being a bully themselves.  I often wonder how we would deal with discovering either of these scenarios. In a world where bullying can take on many new and different forms\, it concerns me that not enough parents\, guardians\, families and friends would know what to do for the best.   \nAlthough sad that such an awareness campaign has to  exist in the first place\, it’s also reassuring and useful to know that the National Bullying Prevention Center run the National Bullying Prevention Month throughout the month of October with lots of information and support readily available to help anyone who may need it.   \nEstablished by PACER\, a center for parent training and information for families and youth with disabilities\, the initial campaign was designed to raise awareness of the long lasting effects that bullying has on many children and young people and to change the perception that bullying is a part of growing up that cannot be challenged.  Collaborating with education-based organizations such as the National PTA\, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association they provide schools\, parents and students with the educational resources and support to better respond to bullying behavior. \nWhen is National Bullying Prevention Month?\nThroughout the month of October\, the campaign aims to work at a grassroots level with local schools\, community groups\, young people and families to address any issues faced by them\, signpost to organisations who may be able to offer support\, educate youngsters about the effects of bullying and promote kindness\, acceptance and inclusion.  On a higher level they also work with news and media outlets encouraging them to promote their message and cause as well as communicating with education and public policy leaders about the role they play in bullying prevention.  \nThe dedicated website has many ways you can show your support – be it as an individual\, school or community\, as well as offering ideas for activities for all school ages\, a really useful toolkit advising of lesson plans and details of special events planned across the nation.   \nNow a nationally recognised awareness campaign with support from Facebook\, Disney\, Instagram\, CNN\, TLC and Yahoo! Kids and many\, many more organisations this is a campaign that should be embraced by all within our communities.

SUMMARY:International School Library Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:International School Library Month (ISLM) is an opportunity for those in charge of school libraries around the world to choose a day\, week\, or the entire month in October to celebrate the importance of school libraries and to celebrate everything great about them. \nA previous year’s theme for ISLM was Why I Love My School Library”. It was based on the annual IASL conference theme of Innovation\, Information and Impact of School Libraries”. The focus of this was on the impact of school libraries and we chose a theme wording that we believed would be accessible to all our participants (aged 3 to 20 years). We invited people to celebrate ISLM by engaging in projects and activities to express why they love their school library. We hope that this year’s ISLM will be a wonderful\, worldwide song of joy in and love for the school library. \nThe ISLM team facilitates a number of activities that you might like to participate in as part of the celebration and no doubt you will also have your own ideas for how best to make the most of ISLM in your libraries. No matter how big or small your school library please do consider getting involved. \nISLM is open to everybody\, whether you are a member of IASL or not\, so spread the word and start gearing up for a super time for ISLM this October! And remember\, you can tell everybody about your ISLM by sending information and photos to our What People are Doing for ISLM page.

SUMMARY:ADHD Awareness Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is ADHD Awareness Month \nADHD is a very common disorder which affects children and adults. It has for many years been recognised as a childhood issue that affects focus\, self-control and many other important skills. However\, it has only recently been recognised as an adult problem too. The cause is an imbalance in the brains anatomy and its wiring \nWe all know someone who suffers from this condition but there are still some people out there who don’t believe it exists or think of it as something to be ashamed of.  \nADHD Awareness Month aims to raise awareness about the existence of ADHD among both sufferers and non-sufferers alike by creating positive change through education. \nThere are many charities that offer support for those with ADHD\, including Children With Attention Deficit Disorder (CWADD)\, The National Resource Center on AD/HD (NRC) and CHADD (Children And Adults With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). These organisations provide information about the condition as well as offering resources such as books on managing the condition at home or work place. They also offer advice on finding specialist help if needed. \nWhen is ADHD Awareness Month \nADHD Awareness Month runs throughput October.  \nHow did ADHD Awareness Month Get Started?\nAn ADHD Awareness Day was how it all started. A resolution was passed by the United States Senate that declared September 7th as National Attention Deficit Disorder Day in 2006. From there it grew into a full month by 2004. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of ADHD\, by providing information that is reliable. The information is based on research and scientific evidence.

SUMMARY:World School Milk Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:World School Milk Day is held all over the world on the last Wednesday of September every year to celebrate the benefits and success of school milk programmes. \nThe first World School Milk Day was celebrated in September 2000 and has since become an annual event promoted by the FAO (Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations). \nThe History \nIn the UK\, our history of school milk spans back over 100 years to the Provision of Meals Act 1906. This recognised that the provision of school food would allow needy and undernourished children to benefit more from education. Also\, that milk was a food that could be provided to children to prevent poor nutrition. \nAfter the Great Depression and the World Wars malnutrition among children was a great concern. So school milk schemes were introduced and developed. Throughout the 20th century\, the provision of milk to school children has helped combat undernutrition in times of scarcity. \nSchool Milk Today \nMilk and dairy products continue to play a role in children’s diets today. A carton of school milk provides a 4-6 year old with: \n52% of their recommended calcium intake\n59% of their recommended iodine intake\n100% of their recommended vitamin B12 intake\n59% of their recommended B2 intake. \nFor older children aged 7-10 years\, a carton of milk provides: \n42% of their recommended calcium intake\n53% of their recommended iodine intake\n100% of their recommended vitamin B12\n47% of their recommended B2 intake. \nMilk also provides energy and protein for their growth and development. \nWorld School Milk Day is celebrated in many countries\, with an increasing number of activities taking place each year. Schools and milk providers are free to celebrate as they wish. Celebrations can be at any level – from national or regional events to individual schools. Find out more about dairy and health for primary school children.

SUMMARY:National Punctuation Day in the USA 2021
DESCRIPTION:National Punctuation Day is an annual observance held on September 24. \nIt was established to promote the correct usage of punctuation in the English language. National Punctuation Day was created by Jeff Rubin in 2004 to emphasize the vital role of punctuation marks in written English. In the English language\, the simple differences in punctuation can produce the sharp differences in meaning\, that is why correct punctuation is so important. \nThere are two major styles of punctuation in the English language: British (logical punctuation) and American (traditional punctuation). They differ primarily in the way they handle quotation marks. The rest of the basic punctuation rules are essentially the same in all varieties of English. Sadly these rules are often ignored\, which may lead to misunderstanding. Punctuation is as important as any other aspect of the written language. That is why Rubin founded National Punctuation Day.National Punctuation Day is marked with special lessons at schools\, contests\, fundraisers\, and other appropriate events and activities. \nIn 2006\, Jeff Rubin and his wife\, Norma\, launched Punctuation Playtime. It is a program for elementary school students that focuses on reinforcing important punctuation lessons.

SUMMARY:Seed Gathering Season 2021
DESCRIPTION:Since 1998\, The Tree Council has been organising Seed Gathering Season\, the autumn campaign to inspire everyone to gather seeds\, fruits and nuts and grow the trees of the future. The festival starts each year on the 23rd September (the autumn equinox\, considered to be the first day of autumn) and continues until the 23rd October\, giving our volunteer Tree Wardens and member organisations plenty of days on which to hold events\, with lots of opportunities for everyone to hear and get inspired. \nAt a time when trees are also being ravaged by newly imported pests and diseases\, one important factor for the survival of some species is going to be diversity of stock and the way forward is going to be trees grown from local seed\, on home soil. Growing seeds from healthy UK trees is probably one of the best ways of taking out insurance that there will be strong saplings to plant where the gaps appear. \nGrowing trees from local seed can have great benefits in restocking areas with trees of local provenance. The concept of local provenance suggests that trees that are adapted to the local circumstances are more likely to flourish and so help restore\, conserve and beautify local urban and rural spaces. Collecting seeds and growing trees is also a great way to get children involved and start growing the next generation of tree enthusiasts.\nInterested in getting involved? You can find events on our Near You map. \nIf you’re interested in organising your own event in 2020\, read further to get some tips on how to grow trees from the seeds. To find out about the kind of activities which took place in your area last year\, for inspiration\, you can look at past events. You can also find more information in our publications Trees and How to Grow Themand The Good Seed Guide. Don’t forget to list your event on our website\, so that other people can come and join you! \nIf you want to get more people in your community involved\, or publicise seed gathering in a school or youth group\, use our downloadable poster.

SUMMARY:International Day of Peace 2021
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Peace is an International event that is observed each year by nations all across the world. \nThe event is commemorated on 21st of September each year. It is a day that was set aside by the United Nations General assembly for everyone around the world to devote to keeping peace\, despite any differences they may have\, as well as play a part in building a peace culture that will last for generations to come. \nInternational Day of Peace was started way back in 1981 through the resolution 36/67 by the United Nations General Assembly\, in an effort to reconcile people around the world. Last year’s theme was\, Together for Peace: Respect\, Safety\, and Dignity for all. This year’s theme is yet to be announced. \nCommunities across the world observe this day in different ways. Some observe the day through organising peace workshops\, engaging in feasts that bring people together for peace\, putting up peace poles\, and engaging in peace activities that bring people together. An activity that is common in people observing this day is the one minute silence that is observed at 12 noon across all time zones. This activity was started to create a ‘Peace Wave’ that moves around the globe.

SUMMARY:Recycle Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:Recycle Week is Recycle Now’s flagship annual event which is a celebration of recycling across the nation. Now in its 18th year\, it’s the one week of the year where retailers\, brands\, waste management companies\, trade associations\, governments and the media come together to achieve one goal: to galvanise the public into recycling more of the right things\, more often. \nThis year’s theme: Step It Up this Recycle Week\nThe Climate Crisis is a tough subject. But we’re a nation of even tougher subjects. The last 15 months have shown that. And while throughout the past year many things have happened over which we’ve had no control\, the Climate Crisis is something we can actively do something about. Every one of us\, every single day. Most of us already do\, through small but powerful habits – like recycling. We know environmental concerns are still on the increase\, so we need to do more. We need to do it now. And we need to act together. It’s time to join the fight against climate change. Step It Up this Recycle Week. \nWith our proven track record of tapping into national conversations and sentiments\, this year’s Recycle Week is set to be a truly impactful national event.

SUMMARY:Fire Door Safety Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:A door’s a door’s a door\, right? No\, a fire door is an engineered safety device. Fire doors are a crucial part of the passive fire protection of every commercial\, public and multiple occupancy building. They save lives and property. \nThere are about 3 million new fire doors bought and installed every year in the UK\, the vast majority made from timber. Fire doors are often the first line of defence in a fire and their correct specification\, maintenance and management can be the difference between life and death for building occupants. However\, they remain a significant area of neglect\, often the first thing to be downgraded on a specification and mismanaged throughout their service life\, propped open\, damaged and badly maintained. Consequently\, we have created Fire Door Safety Week: \n\nTo raise awareness of the critical role of fire doors\, drawing attention to specific issues such as poor installation and maintenance.\nTo encourage building owners and users to check the operation and condition of their fire doors and to report those that aren’t satisfactory.\nTo link together the initiatives of many organisations with common interests in the fire door and passive fire protection industries.\nTo engage and educate people\, helping the whole building industry and every property owner to understand the correct specification\, supply\, installation\, operation\, inspection and maintenance of fire doors.\n\nSupported by a wide range of organisations\, Fire Door Safety Week is the brainchild of the British Woodworking Federation\, BWF-CERTIFIRE Scheme and Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS). \nHow can you get involved? \nWhy not: \n\nUpload our logo and put a link to Fire Door Safety Week on your website.\nTweet about Fire Door Safety Week or publicise your support on other social media – don’t forget to use the hashtag #FireDoorSafetyWeek.\nHold a free CPD session for local businesses about fire door safety.\nOpen up your factory and invite your local MP to see what you do to promote fire door safety.\nUse our videos to raise awareness among your staff or building users.\nCarry out an inspection of your fire doors\, or get a FDIS Certificated Inspector to help.\nRun a communications campaign or leaflet drop to tell your tenants about fire door safety.\nDisplay posters showing three simple fire door safety tips.\nSpend a day in your local builder’s merchants giving buyers advice on third-party certificated fire doors and the correct components.\nDistribute copies of our free fact cards on all aspects of fire door specification.\nLaunch a new product or service that helps more people specify\, buy\, install or maintain their fire doors.\nSend an email to all your customers saying you support Fire Door Safety Week and letting them know about this website.\n\nSo many options\, so much scope! What will you choose to do?

SUMMARY:Great British Beach Clean 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Great British Beach Clean is a week-long citizen science event\, where hundreds of beach cleans take place up and down the UK. Litter data collected drives our conservation work and also feeds into the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC). \n\nThis year’s Great British Beach Clean will take place between Friday 17th – Sunday 26th September 2021. \nOn every clean we ask people to run a litter survey: recording all the items of rubbish they find in a 100m stretch. We use this data to campaign for change. \nAnd we have seen some great results – the plastic bag charge\, banning microplastics in personal care products\, better wet wipe labelling\, and supporting a tax on single-use plastic items. \nBut there is still so much to do to stop the litter plaguing our beaches. \n\n\n\n\n\n425 litter items found per 100m of beach surveyed at last year’s Great British Beach Clean \n\n\n\n\n30% of beach cleans last year found face masks and PPE \n\n\n\n\n55% drop in plastic bags found on UK beaches since 5p charge introduced \n\n\n\n\nBut it’s not job done. We need to gather more and more data to wage war on other types of beach litter\, and you can help. \nWant to run your own beach clean event? Find out how to become an organiser \nMake 2021 your year to save our seas. \nTo get involved this year find an event near you – events as a list or on a map. Sign up for the event/s you’d like to attend and the beach clean organiser will be in touch. \nThe Great British Beach Clean includes the Great Channel Islands Beach Clean and Great Northern Irish Beach Clean.

SUMMARY:International Day of Democracy 2021
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Democracy is held on September 15th\, and is held on the same date every year\, and tends to have a theme\, an example of a previous year’s theme was ‘Democracy and Conflict Prevention’. \nInternational Day of Democracy is an annual day that has been running for 10 years. It is a United Nations\, (UN)\, day of observation\, the purpose of the day is to review the state of democracy in the world and uphold and and promote democracy and its principles. The day was founded on the 20th anniversary of the First International Conference of the New or Restored Democracies\, which promoted global democracy. \nOn the day\, individuals and organisations of all kinds work together for democracy and hold events to raise awareness of democracy\, including conferences\, discussions and debates\, as well as press conferences and publicity campaigns though distribution of leaflets\, posters and flyers\, often with the UN logo on them. Major events to commemorate the day are held at UN headquarters. \nDemocracy and human rights are closely linked\, and UN covenants on these matters are to the fore on this observance day. Democracy is a state where the people have rights\, especially to vote for and elect their government and regulation from among themselves\, rather than being controlled by a government over whom they have no right of dissent\, election or protest. Lack of democracy can lead to lack of rights or a voice\, and this impacts on human rights as set out by the UN.

SUMMARY:National Coding Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:How to get involved with National Coding Week. \nChildren are part of a confident Digital Generation having grown up with the internet\, smart phones and coding classes. However\, many adults have missed out on the digital revolution and feel left behind. The aim of National Coding Week is to give adults the opportunity to learn some digital skills. \nWe want to create taster sessions for parents\, teachers\, business leaders\, school leavers\, the unemployed\, people with autism or those who have retired. It’s open to everyone! We are not expecting people to become coders after one session! For many people it takes years of practice and experience but these taster sessions can be the first step on a journey into a digital business or digital career. \nChildren can inspire adults \nChildren are learning digital skills in school or through coding clubs such as CoderDojos. We therefore would like these clubs to open their doors to parents for a one-off session in which the children will teach the adults some of the skills they have learnt. \nLibraries can act as focal points \nLibraries are in an ideal position to act as a focal point and can host a coding session. Either the staff can lead the session or someone who is confident and familiar with coding from the local community can share their skills. Read CILIP’s blog: Libraries‚ how they can improve our Digital Literacy \nSchools and Code Clubs can get involved \nChildren are learning coding but many parents don’t understand what their children are doing and many non-specialist teachers and governors feel they have missed out on these skills. \nThis year in partnership with Makewaves we are offering children the opportunity to learn and share new skills by collecting digital badges. \nShare Your Skills \nShare Your Skills Badge involves planning a digital skills lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Create a simple lesson plan of what you will be teaching your class. The lesson‚can be any time from 15 minutes to 60 minutes and it can be taught by a single person or a group of 5 maximum. Each individual needs to have a clear role. \nStay Safe Online \nStay Safe Online Badge involves planning a stay safe online lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Research a stay safe online topic\, examples are listed below but you could choose any topic that is important to you: \nData Protection | Cyber Security | Social Media Management | Privacy settings | Passwords management | Knowing who you are communicating with (stranger danger) \nFor more details check out the National Coding Week / Makewaves Digital Badges \nWeb\, app\, creative and digital businesses can throw open their doors \nThose with the expertise can share their skills and have fun teaching people the basics of coding. There are many training organisations who offer courses throughout the year. They can contribute to the week by offering taster sessions to encourage people to sign-up. \nTech Hubs \nThere are hundreds of tech hubs with amazing businesses working from them. The tech hubs are giving start-ups a platform from which to launch businesses and inspire others. These can be the perfect venue for the week and we would love them to be involved. \nAdvice \nKeep it simple‚ it might simply be showing people the resources available online at Codex \, Codecademy or TeamTreehouse.\nIf you are able to organise it\, get a friendly local web development agency\, ICT teacher or FE college tutor to lead the session.\nA simple introductory session can be to get people familiar with tags / code that make up HTML and CSS and show how they work together. \nSign up for the event at codingweek.org \nOrganise a public or private event and pin it to the map \nHold the event\, take photos and tweet using the hashtag #nationalcodingweek \nWe would love to hear from people willing to organise events including libraries\, schools\, digital agencies\, tech hubs and coding clubs / CoderDojos. If you let us know what you’re planning we can give you a shoutout and feature you in the run up to the week. \nWhy learning Digital Skills is important \nThe digital economy has grown enormously in the past 8 years and clusters of digital businesses are springing up everywhere.\nIt has been reported that 50% of digital product developers are self-taught and as many as 83% of app developers have taught themselves.\nThere are now more people working in tech jobs in the south east of England than the whole of California but there is a skills shortage and many adults could contribute to the digital economy if they had the confidence to get started.

SUMMARY:Patriot Day in the USA 2021
DESCRIPTION:Patriot Day is a United States national observance that honors the memory of those who were killed in the September 11 attacks. It was first observed in 2002\, after the proclamation by President George W. Bush. \nOn September 11\, 2001 al-Qaeda launched a series of coordinated terrorist attacks upon the United States\, killing almost 3\,000 people. In the immediate aftermath of the tragic events\, President proclaimed September 14\, 2001 as a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks on September 11\, 2001. A year later\, September 11 was made a national day of mourning referred to as Patriot Day. This observance has been proclaimed annually since 2002. \nIn 2009\, President Barack Obama rededicated it as Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance. It is not a public holiday therefore government offices\, educational institutions and businesses do not close on this day. On Patriot Day\, the national flag is flown at half-mast on all United States government buildings and establishments. Individuals are also encouraged to display flags on their homes. \nA moment of silence is traditionally observed at 8:46 AM. Many organizations and establishments hold memorial ceremonies to honor the victims of 9/11.

SUMMARY:World Suicide Prevention Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:World Suicide Prevention Day is observed on September 10 each year to promote worldwide action to prevent suicides. Various events and activities are held during this occasion to raise awareness that suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death. \nWhat do people do?\nWorld Suicide Prevention Day gives organizations\, government agencies and individuals a chance to promote awareness about suicide\, mental illnesses associated with suicide\, as well as suicide prevention. Organizations such as the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and World Health Organization (WHO) play a key role in promoting this event. \nEvents and activities for World Suicide Prevention Day include: \n\nThe launch of new government initiatives to prevent suicide.\nConferences\, open days\, educational seminars or public lectures.\nMedia programs promoting suicide awareness and prevention.\nMemorial services or candlelight ceremonies to remember those who died from suicide.\nOrganizing cultural or spiritual events\, fairs or exhibitions.\nLaunches of publications about suicide awareness and prevention.\nTraining courses about suicide and depression awareness.\n\nMany of these initiatives are celebrated in various countries worldwide. Some of these events and activities are held at a local level\, while others are nation-wide. Many communities around the world reaffirm their commitment to suicide prevention on World Suicide Prevention Day. \nBackground\nNearly 3000 people on average commit suicide daily\, according to WHO. For every person who completes a suicide\, 20 or more may attempt to end their lives. About one million people die by suicide each year. Suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death which is influenced by psycho-social\, cultural and environmental risk factors that can be prevented through worldwide responses that address these main risk factors. There is strong evidence indicating that adequate prevention can reduce suicide rates. \nWorld Suicide Prevention Day\, which first started in 2003\, is annually held on September 10 each year as an IASP initiative. WHO co-sponsors this event. World Suicide Prevention Day aims to: \n\nRaise awareness that suicide is preventable.\nImprove education about suicide.\nSpread information about suicide awareness.\nDecrease stigmatization regarding suicide.\n\nWHO and IASP work with governments and other partners to ensure that suicide is no longer stigmatized\, criminalized or penalized. WHO’s role is to build political action and leadership to develop national responses to prevent suicide\, strengthen national planning capacity to establish the core building blocks of such a national response\, and build the national capacities to implement these responses.
