Imera tis Anexartisias
Cyprus became independent in 1960, and every schoolchild knows the date. The military parade in Nicosia, the school celebrations, and the speeches about freedom and sovereignty are all part of the ritual, as is the quiet reflection on what independence has meant in practice.

Animals of Sweden Day
You encounter Sweden's characteristic moose, brown bears, and European lynx throughout its forests and wilderness areas. You see that Swedish households most commonly keep dogs, cats, and rabbits as beloved household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
