June 1 – International Children’s Day

June 1 marks International Children’s Day, a holiday dedicated to the protection of children’s rights, their health, education, and overall well-being. Established in 1949, this day serves as an annual reminder of the importance of ensuring a safe and happy childhood.

On this day, various events are held in Ukraine and many other countries worldwide to raise awareness of the issues children face and to promote children’s rights, including the right to life, health, education, and recreation.

Organizations, schools, and community groups organize festivals, concerts, competitions, and other activities for children and their parents. Additionally, this day serves as an opportunity to highlight the challenges that children face, especially in the context of socio-economic difficulties or armed conflicts.

International Children’s Day is not just a celebration but also a reminder of the responsibility adults have to ensure the best possible future for children.
