SUMMARY:International Jazz Day – April 30
DESCRIPTION:In November 2011\, the UNESCO General Conference proclaimed April 30th as “International Jazz Day”. According to the proclamation\, the Day is intended to raise awareness in the international community of the virtues of jazz as an educational tool\, and a force for peace\, unity\, dialogue and enhanced cooperation among people. \nMany governments\, civil society organizations\, educational institutions\, and private citizens currently engaged in the promotion of jazz music will embrace the opportunity to foster greater appreciation not only for the music but also for the contribution it can make to building more inclusive societies. \n\nJazz breaks down barriers and creates opportunities for mutual understanding and tolerance;\nJazz is a vector of freedom of expression;\nJazz is a symbol of unity and peace;\nJazz reduces tensions between individuals\, groups\, and communities;\nJazz fosters gender equality;\nJazz reinforces the role youth play for social change;\nJazz encourages artistic innovation\, improvisation\, new forms of expression\, and the inclusion of traditional music forms into new ones;\nJazz stimulates intercultural dialogue and empowers young people from marginalized societies.\n\nJazz was born in New Orleans about 100 years ago (early 20th century)\, but its roots can be found in the musical traditions of both Africa and Europe. In fact\, some people say that jazz is a union of African and European music. \nJazz in Mexico? Listen to: \nJazz! – A Form of Music that Unites the World!

SUMMARY:Flag Day in Mexico
DESCRIPTION:Flag Day is not a public holiday\, but rather a national observance day. Most businesses follow regular opening hours in Mexico. \nThe colors of the Mexican flag – red\, white\, and green – are the national liberation army’s colors. Mexicans first celebrated the country’s current flag on February 24\, 1937. \nThe emblem in the middle of the flag comes from a legendary Aztec story.

It is believed that the incident of the eagle and snake was a sign given by one of their gods and the place where it happened is now Mexico City.

SUMMARY:Three Kings Day - "Dia de los Reyes"
DESCRIPTION:Rather Than Santa\, Mexican Children Celebrate Arrival of the Three Kings and Camels on January 6th\nIn Spanish countries\, the children do not receive gifts in December on Christmas day. Instead\, the family exchanges gifts on January 6th of the new year on Three Kings Day – Día de Los Reyes Magos. This celebration stems from the New Testament of the Bible\, where it states that the kings\, Melchor\, Gaspar\, and Balthasar\, traveled by night all the way from the farthest confines of the earth to bring gifts to the baby Jesus. Arriving from three different directions\, the kings followed the light provided by the star of Bethlehem\, which reportedly lingered over the manger where the Virgin Mary gave birth for many days.   \nThree Kings Day is celebrated with festive lights in the streets\, Nativity scenes and holiday songs. There is also a joyful parade called the “Cabalgata de los Reyes Magos\,” to symbolize the arrival of the kings.  The kings ride upon horses or elaborate floats and throw goodies down to the children lining the streets. This is also traditionally the big opportunity for children to ask the kings for presents. \nIn the evening\, before an early night in bed\, children leave out their shoes in a spot where the kings are sure to see them. The religious monarchs\, just like Santa Claus\, certainly love their sweets\, so the children often set out goodies to entice the kings as well as hay to feed their camels. When morning arrives\, children delightedly discover that the kings nibbled the sweets\, the camels ate the hay\, and by their shoes there are wrapped presents.

SUMMARY:Revolution Day
DESCRIPTION:On November 20\, Mexicans Celebrate the Revolution of 1910\nIn 1910\, the situation that existed in Mexico was not very different from what existed in the colonial era a hundred years before: A small group controlled industry and trade while most lived in poverty; there were no free elections\, and common citizens did not participate in the political life of the country. The difference was made in 1910\, when a small middle class of people was willing to fight and command a rebellion\, leading to a new constitution in 1917. \nEvery city has a parade or activity to celebrate this day.

SUMMARY:UN International Day of Non-Violence
DESCRIPTION:In Dedication to Mahatma Gandhi\nThis day is dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi\, who helped lead India to independence. Gandhi was committed to his belief in non-violence even under oppressive conditions and in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. \nHe has been the inspiration for non-violent movements for civil rights and social change across the world. \nAccording to the UN: \nOne key tenet of the theory of non-violence is that the power of rulers depends on the consent of the population\, and non-violence\, therefore\, seeks to undermine such power through withdrawal of the consent and cooperation of the populace. \nThere are three main categories of non-violence action: \n\nprotest and persuasion\, including marches and vigils;\nnon-cooperation; and\nnon-violent intervention\, such as blockades and occupations.

SUMMARY:International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition
DESCRIPTION:Remember the Slave Trade and Teach!\nBy means of the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition\, UNESCO aims to recall the crucial importance of the transmission of history in order to shed light on the fight against all forms of oppression and racism today. \nThis effort is the eternal effort for the comprehensive affirmation of human dignity\, and UNESCO devotes to it the full force of its mandate\, through education\, culture\, sharing of information and scientific research\, which help to construct in the minds of all ramparts against racism and prejudice. \nThe teaching of the General History of Africa and the Slave Route programme are examples of this. Ignorance is our enemy: \n\nIgnorance is our enemy: it is used as an alibi by the indifferent who state that “we cannot change anything”\, and sanctions the lies of those who claim that “they did not know”. . \nIrina Bokova\nUNESCO Director-General \n\nDownload the UNESCO brochure with lessons and information to teach our children. UNESCO Brochure – Slave Trade.  Also\, watch the BBC Series\, “The History of Africa”  \nMany people are unaware of the African presence in Mexico\, but more people were enslaved and shipped into Latin America than in the north. The state of Guerrero\, in particular\, has a large concentration of Afro-Mexicans. The state was named after Vicente Guerrero\, Mexico’s second president\, who was of African-Indigenous descent. He abolished slavery during his administration in 1829. For more information about Afro-Mexicans in Guerrero\, visit: www.FreedomPathways.org

SUMMARY:International Day of The World’s Indigenous People
DESCRIPTION:Honor and Celebrate Our Native Cultures!\nIn 1994\, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed this date to be celebrated every year. Indigenous peoples have sought recognition of their identities\, their way of life and their right to traditional lands\, territories and natural resources for years. Yet throughout history\, their rights have always been violated. Indigenous peoples today\, are arguably among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable groups of people in the world. The international community now recognizes that special measures are required to protect their rights and maintain their distinct cultures and way of life. \nThe state of Guerrero\, Mexico is one of the most diverse in the country. There are approximately 600\,000 indigenous people living in Guerrero\, about 20% of the total population of the state. There are more than 20 different native languages spoken by its inhabitants\, but the principal one spoken is Náhuatl. Many Mexicans of African descent live in the Costa Chica Region of the state.
