June 1 is the first calendar day of summer and very important children's party- Children's Day, or International Children's Day! This holiday has been celebrated since 1950. The decision to hold it was made by the International Democratic Federation of Women at a special session in November 1949.

In 1954, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution No. 836 (IX) and recommended that all countries celebrate World Children's Day as a day of world fraternity and mutual understanding. It is a holiday dedicated to activities aimed at promoting the well-being of children around the world. On November 20, 1959, the General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, and in 1989, on the same day, the Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted.

The Declaration of the Rights of the Child declared for the first time that “humanity has the duty to give the child the best it has” and to “ensure that children have a happy childhood.” This holiday is intended to remind adults about children, and not only their own, and to draw attention to the situation of children all over the world.

On this day, all schools and children's institutions hold concerts and evenings. City entertainment centers show films for children, organize competitions and festivals.

The holiday has its own flag. The green background symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness and fertility. The Earth sign is placed in the center, surrounded by stylized multi-colored human figures - red, yellow, blue, white and black. These figures symbolize diversity and tolerance. The Earth sign is a symbol of our planet, our common home.

A child’s happiness and protection is, first of all, his family.
