As we navigate through the fall of 2024, a series of significant observances and commemorative days offer us the opportunity to reflect, raise awareness, and take action on critical societal issues. These days not only honour important causes but also encourage us to participate actively in fostering a more inclusive, peaceful, and just world. From promoting mental health and gender equality to celebrating cultural heritage and advocating for peace, each observance plays a vital role in our collective journey towards a better future. Find out more about these important dates here. |
