DESCRIPTION:Gratitude Day is celebrated annually on the 21st September. The
celebration of Gratitude Day allows both individual citizens and organisa
tions within wider society to celebrate the broad meaning of gratitude in
a variety of ways. Peace me
ans so much more than an absence of war. More ordinary conflicts arise fro
m disputes with family\, colleagues and neighbours and these disturb our s
ense of peace. Making peace with one person today\, even if it is just wit
h yourself\, is a fitting way to mark the day. Light a candle\, reflect\,
forgive and enjoy being tranquil. Parents\, do you reward your child
ren when they share toys and help each other? Learning how to solve disput
es without aggression is a great way to enjoy peace day. A sponsored toddl
e can raise funds for peace charities and tire out the little ones. Bliss!
Peace needs building\, not just celebrating. Make everyday your day
of peace as you work towards harmony at home\, school\, work and in the c
ommunity Held annually
on 5 October since 1994\, World Teachers’ Day commemorates the anniversa
ry of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Statu
s of Teachers. This Recommendation sets benchmarks regarding the right
s and responsibilities of teachers and standards for their initial prepara
tion and further education\, recruitment\, employment\, and teaching and l
earning conditions. The Recommendation concerning the Status of Higher-Educat
ion Teaching Personnel was adopted in 1997 to complement the 1966 Rec
ommendation by covering teaching and research personnel in higher educatio
n. With the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goal 4 on educat
ion\, and the dedicated target (SDG 4.c) recognizing teachers as key to th
e achievement of the Education 2030 agenda\, WTD has become the occasion t
o mark progress and reflect on ways to counter the remaining challenges fo
r the promotion of the teaching profession. World Teachers’ Day is
co-convened in partnership with UNICEF\, the International Labour Organiz
ation and Education International. Epilepsy Awarene
ss Month has been celebrated since 1969\, and in 2003\, the US Congress co
nfirmed that November would be Epilepsy Awareness Month. The campaign has
grown rapidly and is now celebrated across the world. Initially laun
ched to enable people to understand more about the condition and how it af
fects day to day life\, more recently\, the campaign has focused on preven
ting discrimination and eliminating myths and perceptions that permeate pu
blic thinking. Over the years\, more and more organizations have sig
ned up to support Epilepsy Awareness Month\, and this trend looks set to c
ontinue. Epilepsy is a neurological condition\, which is characteriz
ed by seizures\, which cause involuntary movements\, shaking\, confusion a
nd anxiety. Seizures vary\, and coming across somebody who is having a sei
zure can be terrifying\, especially for those with limited knowledge about
epilepsy. This is why campaigns like Epilepsy Awareness Month are so impo
rtant. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/epilepsy-awar
eness-month/ The histor
y of Native American Heritage Month goes back a surprisingly long time\, e
ven without considering the hundreds of years that Europeans have imposed
themselves on the New World. The first inklings that such a day may come t
o pass occurred back in 1915 when Red Fox James\, a Native American of the
Blackfoot nation\, took it upon himself to ride a horse from state to sta
te seeking approval from 24 separate state governments for a day to honor
the “American Indian”. In December of that year he presented it to the
White House\, apparently to no positive effect. It was George H. W.
Bush who officially took the steps to push forward a joint resolution tha
t made November of 1990 the first official Native American Heritage Month.
Multiple proclamations have been made since each year following 1994. Sin
ce then cultural sites\, museums\, and native tribal councils have organiz
ed events showcasing their rich and diverse culture and history so that it
might be spread to the young and continue to thrive. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/native-american-heritage-month/ Each year on April 28th\, National Superhero Day honors supe
rheroes\, both real and fictional. Batman\, Superman\, Captain Ameri
ca\, Wonder Woman\, Iron Man\, Hulk\, and Spiderman are just some of the
superheroes whose names we recognize. Even though they are fictional\,
these superheroes are great role models for our children. They serve and p
rotect while fighting evil. Heroes are ordinary people w
ho make themselves extraordinary. ~ Gerard Way Our real
-life superheroes may not have superpowers or wear capes\, but they are al
so great role models who serve and protect while fighting evil. Military
personnel\, police officers\, firefighters\, and teachers are just a few
of the heroes who protect us on a daily basis. National Weather Observers Day on May 4th provides a day for
the people who enjoy watching and observing the weather. Weather ob
servers often assist the National Weather Service as Storm Spotters. These
hobbyists are valuable resources for communities. This day is also an o
pportunity to get out and learn about a variety of weather phenomena\, the
history of weather tracking\, and find about meteorological instruments.<
/p> Around the world\, weather stations and weather spotters contribute
to hundreds of thousands of observations a day. From land\, sea\, and sky\
, these observations provide valuable information that helps predict weath
er and warn of impending storms. They also contribute to historical data t
hat is studied and may help to better understand weather phenomena. National Scavenger Hunt Day on May 24th each year sends us o
ff to find random items all in the name of good fun. American gossip
columnist\, author\, songwriter\, and professional hostess Elsa Maxwell (
May 24\, 1883 – November 1\, 1963) is credited with the introduction of
the scavenger hunt for use as a party game in the modern era. The ga
me challenges teams to scavenge for a list of odd items. As part of the ru
les\, participants are not allowed to buy the objects. Depending on where
the hunt takes place\, players may have to beg\, barter\, or even work for
them\, too. Some scavenger hunts add difficulty to the game by adding rid
dles describing each item. The team with the most items\, or the first to
complete the list\, wins.
