Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
World Calendar Day
World Quiet Hour Day
A day for naps, prayer, reading, recovery, study, and the human need to step out of noise for a little while.
Regional/Cultural Day
Zour Lanzas
A day honoring the elderly, who in the Seychelles are the keepers of tradition, the tellers of stories, and the ones who remember when the islands had no electricity, no television, and no tourists. The AHA! moment: in Seychellois culture, the grandmother is the head of the household, and her word on family matters is final. Disagreeing with your grandmother is not recommended and is rarely attempted.
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.
