Quick tip
Can I use the Special Events Calendar even if the event has already passed?
Yes. The Calendar includes recent events as well as upcoming ones, so you can still access curated videos and resources after the date has passed. This is useful for follow-up discussions, reflection activities, or catching up on events that were not covered on the day itself.

What is the Special Events Calendar?

The Special Events Calendar helps educators plan lessons around key global and national dates. It displays upcoming and recent events such as holidays, commemorations, and awareness days, including Harmony Day and Remembrance Day. This makes it easier to connect classroom learning to real-world events observed across year groups.
