In 2020, Children's Day will traditionally be held in large cities and small towns. It is dedicated to all children, regardless of whether they have parents or not. The holiday is designed to draw the attention of society to the problems of the smallest and make them happier, give them hope and surround them with love and care.
Date of celebration and history of occurrence
The date of the holiday is fixed, and therefore does not change.
Important! In 2020, Children's Day will be celebrated on the first day of summer - June 1.
The first holiday for kids, schoolchildren and teenagers was held in 1950. The initiator of its creation was the International Democratic Federation of Women. In the post-war period there were many orphans. In order to somehow survive, they had to wander, starve, and even steal. Indifferent women declared that every child beyond the Earth should be happy. To attract public attention, at a congress in Paris, they proposed creating a special holiday. Already in the first year the idea was supported by more than 50 states.
By the way, the date of the celebration was not chosen by chance. The fact is that in 1925 significant events took place at once in two different places. The Consul General of China in San Francisco decided to arrange a holiday for orphans, which means the arrival of summer. He had prepared treats for them in advance. The idea really liked the locals. By an amazing coincidence, on this day in Geneva a conference was held on the problems of children.
Interesting! In 1959, the Declaration of the Rights of the Child was published. Later, another document was developed - the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It appeared in 1989, and the following year the USSR was signed.
Tradition of celebration
On this holiday, all attention is directed to the kids. Although congratulate parents, teachers, social workers and other representatives of similar professions.

To attract public attention to the future of the younger generation, adults organize flash mobs of various subjects. In addition, charity events are held, and the funds raised are sent to orphanages or to help children with cancer.
In cinemas, cartoons and children's films are shown. Make big discounts on entry tickets. Museums and galleries hold thematic exhibitions. In many cities, the parks have free rides and attractions. In the houses of culture, concerts are organized in which local groups and artists participate.
By the way, the holiday has its own symbol. This is a flag on which a blue planet and colorful children are depicted on a green background. Each element of ensign has its own meaning. The green background symbolizes the harmony in which all people should live. It gives a sense of freedom, the right to choose and an opportunity for development. Blue planet means home for everyone. Different colors are a symbol of tolerance for diversity. Children are located on the flag so that their legs form a star, which gives light to move forward, to achieve their goals.
