The Universal Day of Culture under the Banner of Peace, also known as the World Day of Culture, is an observance aimed at promoting cultural diversity, understanding, and cooperation among nations. It is celebrated annually on April 15th.
The World Day of Culture was established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to recognize the importance of culture in promoting peace, tolerance, and sustainable development. It serves as an opportunity to celebrate the rich diversity of cultures around the world and to highlight the role of culture in fostering dialogue, mutual respect, and cooperation among peoples.
On this day, various cultural events, exhibitions, performances, and activities are organized worldwide to celebrate the diversity of cultures and to raise awareness about the importance of preserving and promoting cultural heritage. It is also a time to reflect on the challenges facing cultural diversity and to advocate for policies and initiatives that promote intercultural understanding and harmony.
