Today We Celebrate the International Children's Day

On June 1st, we celebrate the International Children's Day. The celebration dates back to the World Conference on Child Health, held in Geneva in 1925.
 
The idea of ​​celebrating this day came in 1925 when the Chinese Consul General in San Francisco collected several Chinese orphan children and led them to the Dragon Boat Feast (a Chinese feast that originated in antiquity and was associated with the Spring Equinox).
 
Later, his initiative was continued, with an international conference on child health being held, as an independent charity action in the United States and Europe. In 1949 the day was officially declared an International Day for the Protection of Children. And in 1950, June 1 was first celebrated in 51 countries worldwide.
 
A number of celebrations and initiatives are organized around the country for children's Day.
 
The National Museum of History in Sofia will offer many games and fun for the whole family. With the intriguing history of Parvobitko, all young visitors will be introduced during the official presentation of the book for children of the same name.
