International Students/Youth Day?

[OneBrickOneVoice]

I think I remember hearing somewhere about an international Youth Day like Worker's day and woman's day? Does this exsist? If so what day is it?

[Demogorgon]

It's bound to. Days for everything these days. And I have heard of it before I am sure.

Yes, I am right. A check on wikipidia says International Youth Day is on August 12th each year. There is also a Catholic celebration called World Youth Day it might get confused with

[Mujer Libre]

Yup. The August 12 event is a UN designated day though, so it's basically just a random day, without much real significance, compared to Women's Day and May Day.

I know in South Africa though, for example, Youth Day is celebrated on June 16 and is a public holiday to commemorate the Soweto uprising of 1976.

Women's Day passed; its called International Working Women's Day.

There's an International Children's Day around June 1, celebrated in most socialist/ex-socialist countries. Not certain if this is the same holiday, however.
