1. 21st September 2021 - INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE
Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire.
In 2021, as we heal from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are inspired to think creatively and collectively about how to help everyone recover better, how to build resilience, and how to transform our world into one that is more equal, more just, equitable, inclusive, sustainable, and healthier. This year's theme: Recovering better for an equitable and sustainable world
2. 22nd September 2021 - WORLD CAR FREE DAY
A Car-Free Day encourages motorists to give up their cars for a day. Organised events are held in some cities and countries.
September 22 is World Car Free Day. The event promotes improvement of mass transit, cycling and walking, and the development of communities where jobs are closer to home and where shopping is within walking distance. Studies showed that for short trips in cities, one can reach more quickly using a bicycle rather than using a car. This is not a difficult tasks for us all ;-)
3. 22nd September 2021 - NATIONAL FITNESS DAY
National Fitness Day 2021 will also take place on Wednesday 22nd September and is a chance to highlight the role physical activity plays across the UK, helping us raise awareness of its importance in helping us lead healthier lifestyles through being physical active. No coincidence to put World Car Free Day and National Fitness Day on the same day?! :-D
National Fitness Day sees a huge range of activity options enjoyed by participants of all ages, such as ‘plank offs’, yoga and pilates classes, treadmill challenges, high-street HIIT classes, dance-offs, mass walks, virtual workouts and many more.’
4. 24th September 2021 - WORLD'S BIGGEST COFFEE MORNING: MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT
And last but not least...the favourite for many years now and widely organised in workplaces especially. World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, celebrated on September 24 this year, is a day to not only enjoy one of the world’s favourite beverages but also make a difference by helping raise money for people facing cancer. Globally, cancer is the second-leading cause of death with 9.6 million people dying every year. However, around 3.7 million lives could be saved each year through early detection, prevention and treatment.
World’s Biggest Coffee Morning started in 1991 when over 200,000 people took part across the UK. Now, the event raises over 25 million dollars towards Macmillan’s Cancer Support.
