Teachers' Day
World Teachers' Day, held annually on October 5th since 1994, commemorates teachers’
organizations worldwide. Its aim is to mobilize support for teachers and to
ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by
teachers.
According to UNESCO, World Teachers' Day
represents a significant token of the awareness, understanding and appreciation
displayed for the vital contribution that teachers make to education and
development.
Education International (EI) (the global
union federation that represents education professionals worldwide) strongly
believes that World Teachers' Day should be internationally recognized and
celebrated around the world. EI also believes that the principles of the 1966
and 1997 Recommendations should be considered for implementation in all
nations.
Over 100 countries observe World
Teachers' Day. The efforts of Education International and its 401 member
organizations have contributed to this widely spread recognition. Every year,
EI launches a public awareness campaign to highlight the contributions of the
teaching profession.

World Animal Day
World Animal Day was started in 1931 at a convention of ecologists
in Florence as a way of highlighting the plight of endangered species.
October 4 was chosen as World Animal Day as it is the Feast Day of St
Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.
Since then, World Animal Day has become a day for remembering and
paying tribute to all animals and the people who love and respect them.
It's celebrated in different ways in every country, with no regard to
nationality, religion, faith or political ideology.

Sea Scouts (L6U1)
Sea Scouts
are members of the international Scouting movement, with a particular emphasis
on boating and water-based activities. These activities can be on the sea,
rivers or lakes. Sea Scouts can provide a chance to sail, cruise on boats,
learn navigation, learn how to work on engines and compete in regattas.
Sea
Scouts often have distinctive uniforms. In
some countries or scout
organizations, Sea Scouting is a program just for older Scouts.

OUR DAY
Internaut is
a term for a designer, operator, or technically capable user of the Internet. Beginning
with participants in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), it gradually
expanded to members of the Internet Society (ISoc) and the larger community.
The Internaut day is celebrated on August
23, anniversary of the WWW - World Wide Web, which was developed in the CERN
laboratories (Enquire / EV project) in Switzerland during 1989 - 1990, and
opened to new users after that day in 1991.
The WWW creation by Tim Berners-Lee enabled
non-technical computer experts to use the Internet in a simple and quick way,
making it accessible to billions of people around the world: the internauts.
Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee is an English computer
scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web. He made a proposal
for an information management system in March 1989, and he implemented the
first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
client and server via the Internet sometime around mid November of that same
year.
