International Tango Day
There is a legend that tango dance originated on the streets of Necocheo and Suarez in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires.
In Europe, tango became popular in 1910.
Tango has even been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Initially, Tango Day was celebrated in Argentina, and later the holiday became international.
December 11 was chosen to celebrate this event for good reason, because it was on this day that tango composers Carlos Gardel and Julio de Carlo were born. The Buenos Aires authorities first approved the date in 1977, and a year later the event was approved nationally.
UNICEF Children’s Fund Foundation Day
UNICEF is a fund for the protection of children’s rights and interests, which operates in almost 200 countries. It was created on December 11, 1946.
With the help of UNICEF, thousands of maternity and health centers have been established, more than 1 million schools and almost a million food and water supply centers have been opened and equipped. The fund also provides assistance in the form of clothing, hygiene products and food, helps during natural disasters.

Kaleidoscope day
This holiday coincides with the birthday of the inventor of the kaleidoscope David Brewster, who was born in 1781.
At first, the whole of Europe was fascinated by kaleidoscopes, and then the toy got to other countries. They are still engaged in the creation and improvement of optical devices. In 1986, inventions in this field became a real art, and the Brewster Kaleidoscope Society was even founded.
International Day of Mountains
The festival was founded in early 2003 at the initiative of the United Nations.
On this day, a variety of thematic events are held to attract public attention and interest in the mountains, which occupy a quarter of the territory.
World Asthma Day
The day was founded in 1998 at the initiative of the World Health Organization and is timed to coincide with the World Asthma Prevention and Control Conference in Barcelona.
Bronchial asthma is a chronic disease characterized by asthma attacks and wheezing of varying frequency and severity. The disease is most often recorded in children and young people.
According to statistics, 10% of children suffer from asthma, less than adults – 5%. Ecology has a strong impact on the incidence of bronchial asthma, which is why the percentage of patients in rural areas is lower than in urban areas by almost one and a half percent.
World Asthma Day is designed to raise the awareness of patients, healthcare professionals and society, improve health care for patients and draw attention to this chronic disease.
