International Days
February 5, 2019
One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested.
-E. M. Forster

The United Nations designates “International Days” throughout the year. Here’s a description from their website:
“The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization. Usually, it is one or more Member States that propose these observances and the General Assembly establishes them with a resolution.”
Following are some of these days (coming up in the near future) that might be of special interest to early childhood professionals:
