International Children's Day is celebrated annually on 1 June, a special day to honor children. So, what is the origin of Children's Day?
Children's Day dates back to the late 19th century. At that time, some countries in Europe began to pay attention to the issue of children's education and began to call for a special day for children to better publicize and promote children's rights. In the early 20th century, the International League for Child Welfare was formed, and they convened a conference in Geneva in 1925 to recommend that June 1 be designated as International Children's Day to promote the protection and support of children's rights worldwide.
In 1927, the International League for Child Welfare formally approved the proposal and decided to celebrate this special day around the world. Since then, June 1 has become an important holiday every year, with various events held by governments, schools and social institutions in many countries to celebrate the day.
In China, Children's Day celebrations are also very colorful. In addition to various cultural performances and game activities held in schools, many cities will also hold celebrations in the form of garden parties, parent-child activities and other forms of celebrations, so that children can feel the love and care of the society.
In short, International Children's Day is a very important holiday, which reminds us to pay more attention to the rights and interests of children and provide them with a better education, health and living environment. I hope every child can feel joy and happiness on this special day.
