día del niño alrededor del mundo.
World Children's Day is a commemorative date celebrated annually in honor of
children, whose date of observance varies by country. In 1925, International Children's Day was first proclaimed in Geneva during the World Conference on Child Welfare. Since 1950, it is celebrated on 1 June in most Communist and post- Communist countries. World Children's Day is celebrated on 12 April to commemorate the Declaration of the Rights of the Child by the UN General Assembly on 20 November 1959.
Since 1990, World Children's
Day also marks the anniversary of the date that the UN General Assembly adopted both the Declaration and the Convention on children's rights.
Mothers and fathers, teachers,
nurses and doctors, government leaders and civil society activists, religious and community elders, corporate moguls and media professionals, as well as young people and children themselves, can play an important part in making World Children's Day relevant for their societies, communities and nations.
World Children's Day offers each of us an inspirational entry-point to advocate,
promote and celebrate children's rights, translating into dialogues and actions that will build a better world for children. Activity II / Actividad II: Reflect and find / Reflexione y encuentre las palabras en la sopa de letras.
