Regional/Cultural Day
'Aho 'o e Tau
The anniversary of Tuvalu's independence from Britain on October 1, 1978. The celebration includes a church service, a feast, and the traditional dance performances. The day is both celebration and reflection, because the independence was achieved peacefully (Tuvalu is one of the smallest countries in the world, with a population of only 11,000 people).
Regional/Cultural Day
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.
