SUMMARY:International Day for Tolerance (United Nations)
DESCRIPTION:“Tolerance is respect\, acceptance\, and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world’s cultures\, our forms of expression and ways of being human.” – UNESCO’s 1995 Declaration of Principles on Tolerance \n  \n\n\nIn 1996\, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 51/95 proclaiming 16 November as International Day for Tolerance. \nThis action followed the adoption of a Declaration of Principles on Tolerance by UNESCO’s Member States on 16 November 1995. Among other things\, the Declaration affirms that tolerance is neither indulgence nor indifference. It is respect and appreciation of the rich variety of our world’s cultures\, our forms of expression and ways of being human. Tolerance recognizes the universal human rights and fundamental freedoms of others. People are naturally diverse; only tolerance can ensure the survival of mixed communities in every region of the globe. \nhttps://www.unesco.org/en/days/tolerance

SUMMARY:National Freedom Day
DESCRIPTION:February 1st is National Freedom Day in the United States. National Freedom Day is celebrated because on February 1st\, 1865 Abraham Lincoln signed the joint resolution from the House and the Senate that eventually became the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution—the amendment that officially ended slavery in the United States. \nThis year and every year\, make it a point to celebrate National Freedom Day and use it as an opportunity to educate others about the importance of becoming a modern day abolitionist. \nAdditionally\, National Freedom Day is a great time to learn more about your country’s relationship with slavery—as understanding the struggle of historical slavery is crucial when trying to eradicate modern day slavery. \nSourced from http://www.endslaverynow.org/act/action-library/honor-national-freedom-day

SUMMARY:International Mother Language Day
DESCRIPTION:International Mother Language Day has been observed every year since February 2000 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. \nLanguages\, with their complex implications for identity\, communication\, social integration\, education\, and development\, are of strategic importance for people and the planet. Yet\, due to globalization processes\, they are increasingly under threat or disappearing altogether. When languages fade\, so does the world’s rich tapestry of cultural diversity. Opportunities\, traditions\, memory\, unique modes of thinking and expression — valuable resources for ensuring a better future — are also lost. \nAt least 43% of the estimated 6000 languages spoken in the world are endangered. Only a few hundred languages have genuinely been given a place in education systems and the public domain\, and less than a hundred are used in the digital world. \nLanguages are the most powerful instruments for preserving and developing our tangible and intangible heritage. All moves to promote the dissemination of mother tongues will serve not only to encourage linguistic diversity and multilingual education but also to develop fuller awareness of linguistic and cultural traditions throughout the world and to inspire solidarity based on understanding\, tolerance\, and dialogue. \nEvery two weeks a language disappears taking with it an entire cultural and intellectual heritage. \nLinguistic diversity is increasingly threatened as more and more languages disappear. Globally 40 percent of the population does not have access to an education in a language they speak or understand. Nevertheless\, progress is being made in mother tongue-based multilingual education with a growing understanding of its importance\, particularly in early schooling\, and more commitment to its development in public life. \nMultilingual and multicultural societies exist through their languages which transmit and preserve traditional knowledge and cultures in a sustainable way. \nhttps://www.un.org/en/observances/mother-language-day
