每年的6月1日為國際兒童節
這個日子起源於1949年國際民主婦女聯合會於莫斯科召開的會議,談及為紀念1942年6月被納粹德國屠所殺的捷克利迪策村全體兒童,決定將6月1日定為國際兒童節。
國際兒童節2012的主題為"Every Child in School"
When children's Day is Celebrated?
International children's day is celebrated on the 1st of June each year, though it is not a common phenomenon in many countries. children's day is often confused with Universal Children's Day which is celebrated on November 20th.
History of International Children’s Day
The ICD is said to have originated in turkey in 1920(April 23) and later in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925.children's day was a coincidence that two very important events took place on 1st June 1925. The first was the World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva and at the same time the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.Since both these incidents had the idea of child welfare at their core, 1st of June began to be celebrated as International children's day thereafter but it were largely restricted to the communist countries and continue to be restricted, even after the atrophying of communism. There is often little public awareness of International children's day in the western world and the central Asian continent.
