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.<\/p>\n

Over 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.<\/p>\n

The 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.<\/p>\n

Sands 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 \u00a34 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.<\/p>\n

Dynamic 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.

of the Seafarer 2024","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’.<\/p>\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.<\/p>\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.<\/p>\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.<\/p>\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.<\/p>\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.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"day-of-the-seafarer-2024","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2.jpg","id":49778,"extension":"jpg","width":2560,"height":1440,"filesize":364898,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":169,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":12612,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-300x169.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":576,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":86075,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-1024x576.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6982,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":432,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":54565,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-768x432.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":864,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":163746,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-1536x864.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":2048,"height":1152,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":252831,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-2048x1152.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":30924,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":15699,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":52637,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":2452,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":113,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6787,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-200x113.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":225,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":19687,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-400x225.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":338,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":37471,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-600x338.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":450,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":59188,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-800x450.jpg"},"fusion-1200":{"width":1200,"height":675,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":111554,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-1200x675.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":55289,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":27310,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":27634,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":15469,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":7570,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-1169326443-scaled-2-177x142.jpg"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2024-06-25

Writing Day 2024","description":"

National Writing Day is an annual celebration of writing designed to inspire people across the UK to get writing. Our message is simple: everyone has a story to tell and sharing it can be a source of pleasure and power.
\nOn Wednesday the 21st of June we aim to inspire creative writing on a grand scale\u201a young people are more inclined to write creatively if they see adults around them doing so and writing can benefit people of all ages. We welcome participation from any individual or group, regardless of age, gender, and cultural or economic backgrounds. Our aim is to promote all forms of writing and encourage communities to join in via a programme of public, educational and online activities.<\/p>\n

National Writing Day is led by First Story, a national literacy charity dedicated to changing lives through writing, and supported by fifty-five Official Partners and numerous other associate organisations. It is made possible with support from Arts Council England and Old Possums Practical Trust.<\/p>\n

We are encouraging anyone across the UK to get creative and host a writing event in their community. You could put on a mass writing activity in the town square, a poetry slam, a free writing workshop, a pop-up poetry stall; whatever your idea we’d love to hear about it.<\/p>\n

How do I list my event?<\/p>\n

You can register your event on the National Writing Day website. Take a look at other events already listed to see what else is happening across the UK.<\/p>\n

Is there a fee for being involved?<\/p>\n

We don’t charge anything for hosting an event and anyone can organise a National Writing Day event. However, any associated event costs such as venue or writer fees are your responsibility.<\/p>\n

What resources can we use?<\/p>\n

Educators can download teaching resources such as posters, workshop plans and more by visiting our Resources page. Here you will find resource packs full of writing activities to be used with students from Early Years to Key Stage 5.<\/p>\n

Event organisers can also download an A3 National Writing Day poster, or request one to be sent to you when you register your event.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","excerpt":"","slug":"national-writing-day-2024","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1.jpg","id":49772,"extension":"jpg","width":2448,"height":1224,"filesize":142198,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":10120,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-300x150.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":512,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":58907,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-1024x512.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6383,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":384,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":38531,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-768x384.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":768,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":107589,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-1536x768.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":2048,"height":1024,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":164136,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-2048x1024.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":27702,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":13011,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":40032,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":2412,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":100,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":5763,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-200x100.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":14991,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-400x200.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":27072,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-600x300.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":40845,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-800x400.jpg"},"fusion-1200":{"width":1200,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":74802,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-1200x600.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":46992,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":23315,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":21985,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":13088,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6894,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-510482146-1-177x142.jpg"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2024-06-26

Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking 2024","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.<\/p>\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.<\/p>\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.<\/p>\n

HIV Testing Day in the USA 2024","description":"

June 27th is National HIV Testing Day in the USA. Established in 1995 the day aims to encourage people to get tested for HIV, know their status and get linked to care and treatment.<\/p>\n

May national organisations, government bodies and medical care providers join forces to raise the profile of the day and the disease.<\/p>\n

The day educates people about HIV, what it is, how it is transmitted, who is at risk and the symptoms. It also aims to signpost people who suspect they may be at risk to the relevant places to get tested and the subsequent care and support available to them.<\/p>\n

More than 1.1 million people in the U.S. are living with HIV today, and 1 in 7 of them don’t know it. However with awareness continuing to rise and the accessibility to advice and services improving, the annual number of infections in the US is gradually

Keller Day in the USA 2024","description":"

In Pennsylvania, June 27 is commemorated as Helen Keller Day. Helen Keller was an American author, lecturer and political activist. She is noted for being the first deafblind person to earn a B.A. degree. Helen Adams Keller was born on June 27, 1880. She lost her ability to see and hear at 19 months old due to an illness (either meningitis or scarlet fever).<\/p>\n

In 1886, Keller’s mother started looking for a person who could educate her daughter. Anne Sullivan, herself visually impaired, agreed to become Keller’s instructor.<\/p>\n

Keller attended several schools for the blind and deaf. At age 20, she was admitted to Radcliffe College in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She graduated in 1904, becoming the first deafblind person to earn a B.A. degree.Keller learned to speak and spent much of her life giving lectures and speeches. She was an avid advocate of people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

Art Week 2024","description":"

29 June \u2013 19 July 2024
\nChildren\u2019s Art Week is a UK-wide programme run by Engage, the National Association for Gallery Education.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Children\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Previous themes were\u2026<\/p>\n

Week 1 (from 29 June): The Natural World<\/p>\n

Week 2 (from 6 July): Connecting across generations<\/p>\n

Week 3 (from 13 July): Literacy and creative writing<\/p>\n

Schools, 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.<\/p>\n

The 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.<\/p>\n

In 2024, to support the advocacy work of the visual arts engagement and participation sector, Engage will celebrate the amazing health and wellbeing work delivered through the sector. Check Engage\u2019s website, E-bulletin and social media for details.<\/p>\n

Engage is delighted that Children\u2019s Art Week has been adopted by many organisations and individuals. We would therefore encourage you to make your own plans for CAW in 2024! We have a selection of templates to inspire your activity. Please share what you get up to with us by email or social media.<\/p>\n

Venues and organisations of all types and sizes were welcome to register events and activities \u2014 from libraries to community halls, heritage venues and country parks, schools and of course museums and galleries. Individual artists and makers also took part.<\/p>\n

Activities 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 \u2014 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.<\/p>\n

Organisers are welcome to revisit existing resources and activities to programme for Children\u2019s Art Week 2021. If you have activities, a campaign or programme already in action, think about how you can respond to this year\u2019s themes and join in!<\/p>\n

All 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.<\/p>\n

Registration will open at the end of May.<\/p>\n

Bringing Children and Art Together Children’s Art Week<\/p>\n

Children’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.<\/p>\n

What is Engage?<\/p>\n

Engage 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.<\/p>\n

How Children’s Art Week is Celebrated<\/p>\n

Engage 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.<\/p>\n

Teachers who want to take part in the celebration can get hints and tips if they want to plan a gallery visit. There are also ideas to include any gallery visits into the curriculum plan and to take the idea further.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","excerpt":"","slug":"childrens-art-week-2024","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/art-week.jpg","id":38506,"extension":"jpg","width":2000,"height":1332,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/art-week-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/art-week-300x200.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":511,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/art-week-768x511.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":682,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/art-week-1024x682.jpg"},"blog-thumbnail":{"width":400,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/art-week-400x200.jpg"},"sow-carousel-default":{"width":272,"height":182,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/art-week-272x182.jpg"}},"ShortPixel":{"type":"lossy","exifKept":"0","date":"2019-12-08

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.
\nIf 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.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"canada-day-2024","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1.jpg","id":49810,"extension":"jpg","width":2128,"height":1409,"filesize":129655,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":199,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":12567,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-300x199.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":678,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":98791,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-1024x678.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":4742,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":509,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":59533,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-768x509.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":1017,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":193913,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-1536x1017.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":2048,"height":1356,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":299931,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-2048x1356.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":32458,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":13290,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":49239,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":2019,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":132,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6876,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-200x132.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":265,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":19474,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-400x265.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":397,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":38736,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-600x397.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":530,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":64209,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-800x530.jpg"},"fusion-1200":{"width":1200,"height":795,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":129467,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-1200x795.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":60793,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":26896,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":24172,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":12843,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6297,"url":"https:\/\/www.awarenessdays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-477832442-1-177x142.jpg"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2024-07-01

Reggae Day 2024","description":"

July 1 is recognized as International Reggae Day. This is 24 hours of celebration for reggae culture and its influence on Jamaican music. This event has a global media reach and is hosted in Kingston.<\/p>\n

The objective is to celebrate the best of Jamaican creativity and its worldwide impact using the power of music, media and communication technology to unite nations.<\/p>\n

Celebrate International Reggae Day in your own way, by organising your own event in homage to the impact that Reggae music has. You could even have your own Reggae themed fundraiser and create a charitable event for the charity of your choice, or just celebrate by listening to a few of your favourite Reggae tunes. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
