21 March - Youth Day Tunisia

 

Youth Day in Tunisia is observed on March 21st each year. It commemorates the anniversary of the day when Tunisian citizens, particularly young people, took to the streets in 1956 to demand independence from French colonial rule. This event played a significant role in Tunisia's struggle for independence and is celebrated as a symbol of youth activism and the country's sovereignty.

During Youth Day, various events, ceremonies, and activities are organized across Tunisia to honor the contributions of young people to the nation's development and to reflect on the importance of youth engagement in shaping the future of the country. It's a day to recognize the energy, creativity, and potential of the youth population and to encourage their active participation in civic and social activities.

Youth Day serves as a reminder of Tunisia's history of resistance against colonialism and oppression, as well as a celebration of the achievements and aspirations of its younger generations.
