Regional/Cultural Day
Diada de la Llengua
Catalan is Andorra's only official language and Andorra is the only country where Catalan holds that position alone. Across the border in Spain, Franco banned it for 40 years. Here, it never stopped being spoken. Every street sign, every law, every conversation in the comu is in Catalan. Today, speak it proudly because this language survived by choice.
Regional/Cultural Day
Andorra Work Shoe Day
A day for the footwear that knows the job better than the person wearing it wants to admit.
Regional/Cultural Day
School Bag Check Day
A day for pencils, forms, snacks, chargers, books, forgotten papers, and the nightly search before morning.

Animals of Kenya Day
You witness Kenya's iconic African lions, African elephants, giraffes, and black rhinoceroses across its renowned savannas and game reserves. You find that Kenyans typically keep dogs, cats, and chickens in both urban and rural households. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
