FOR AGES 1 YEARS TO 99 YEARS
At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
This particular day has its origins in Nova Scotia, Canada, and is widely observed across North America and various other parts of the world.
This special is observed by people from across the different parts of the world, where people organize various activities in their workplace or schools in an effort to stop discrimination and bullying.
This particular day was established in 2007. As the name suggests, people observe this day by wearing a pink shirt.
This particular day has its origin in Nova Scotia, where two high school students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, protested when they saw another student being bullied for wearing pink. The following day they urged every other student of that school to wear pink shirts as a mark of solidarity.
According to social norms, pink shirts have always been associated with being girly or feminine. Therefore to defy such illogical standards and to stop bullying or discrimination, this particular date of April 13 is observed every year with anyone and everyone wearing pink. On this date, young activists from across the world host several awareness programs.
People largely observe this day by wearing pink and encouraging their friends to wear pink as well. The focus is to help groups and communities that specifically face harassment and injustice and are constantly targeted for their preferences or gender identity. Therefore this day is observed as a mark of solidarity for all of these people.
You can observe this day on April 13 by wearing a pink shirt. You can also ask your friend to wear pink or gift them a pink shirt as well.
Talk with your friends and family about discrimination and consider ways to stop it. Support your friends and host an event to promote awareness. You can also learn about various anti-discrimination websites and their efforts on the internet and even attend a virtual event.
This day is largely observed by wearing pink as a mark of support. On this day, you should also make a commitment to yourself to not discriminate against anyone or put anyone down.
This day is to support all those who have been bullied or discriminated against, especially the LGBTQ+ community.
Unlike the International Day Of Pink, Zero Discrimination Day is observed on March 1. It is observed by the United Nations and various other member countries of the UN as well.
International Day Of Pink was first observed in 2007 and had its origin in Nova Scotia, Canada.
This day provides hope and support to all the victims of bullying and discrimination and helps them deal with the psychological and emotional traumas associated with being bullied.
