Children’s Day in Poland
Children’s
Day is celebrated as International Children’s Day in Poland. Known as Międzynarodowy
Dzien Dziecka in Polish, this special occasion is marked on June 1st every
year. Since its introduction in Poland in 1952, the occasion has been easily
adopted by the adults and kids and is largely celebrated in schools and other
public institutions. The activities held on this day are dedicated to the
children. It is great time for enjoyment, joyfulness and enthusiasm.
Children’s Day Celebrations In Poland
Though the
occasion is a holiday for kids, they attend school not to study but to enjoy
the festival to the fullest. Special programs and activities pertaining to the
festival are organized for the kids in schools. Some of them include outdoor
plays and field trips. The entire first week of June is engaged in different
festivities for the kids.
Celebrations
usually include delivering of speeches on children’s rights and well being.
Various programs are telecasted on the television and parties are organized,
especially for the kids on this day. Visits to cinemas and theaters are also
organized by the schools. Parents purchase numerous small gifts, usually
sweets, and present them to their children.
Recently,
Children’s Day celebrations in Poland have started special sessions in the Polish
government. On this special day in the capital city of Warsaw, the Parliament
is run by the children, instead of the regular Members of Parliament (MPs).
Different debates are held on various matters every year - children’s rights
and education, and other general matters like war, peace or tolerance.
For this
occasion our students prepared some works which we are happy to show here.
