Children’s Day
Children’s Day is an international holiday celebrated on June 1. This holiday – the purpose of which reminds us that children are independent persons with the fears and problems. This year the holiday will take place in the conditions of war. Now young Ukrainians especially need attention and care. Our school is actively cooperating with the UNICEF international project “Together. Meeting Points”, which aims to support adolescents and their families who have been forced to flee their homes due to the war. As part of the project, our school for migrants has created a point where adolescents and their families can receive basic humanitarian assistance, socio-emotional support, access to individual and group psychological counseling. After all, children are the most vulnerable category of the population, the most vulnerable and the most valuable. Their future depends on us, and our future depends on them.
Note: Children’s Day was established in 1949 by a session of the International Democratic Federation of Women. It was first celebrated in 1950 in 51 countries. On November 20, 1989, the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which is considered a world constitution for children. Ukraine ratified the convention on September 27, 1991, and it has been part of national law ever since.
