Children Day is a fun day with a serious message. International Children’s Day offers us an opportunity to promote and celebrate children’s rights that will build a better world for Children. United Nations (UN) provides a particular theme every year for World Children Day to promote awareness among children, togetherness and improving children’s welfare.
The theme of International children day in 2021 is:
” Investing in our future means investing in our children”
History of World Children’s Day
In 1857, Dr. Charles Leonard started this day by naming it Rose Day in the United Kingdom.
In 1920, the Republic of Turkey officially acknowledged Children’s Day as a national holiday.
United Nations established Children Day in 1954.
Each country has established a date of their own choice for children’s day. Hungary chose the last Sunday of May as the day to celebrate children’s day.
