International Human Solidarity Day in
Days to go: 

International Human Solidarity Day is a globally recognised occasion, instigated by the United Nations, with a prime objective of celebrating unity in diversity. It is a day to remind nations about the importance of solidarity, particularly in relation to tackling poverty. It promotes awareness and encourages debate on the benefits of bringing nations together through mutually shared responsibilities.

Internationally recognised since December 2005, the inception of International Human Solidarity Day is also linked to the United Nations’ Millenium Declaration, signed by 191 countries, including the UK. For the United Kingdom, this observance amplifies the core values of cooperation and unity in diversity, which are integral aspects of its multicultural society. It is an opportunity for citizens and policy-makers to recognise the importance of mutual understanding and joint action to overcome global challenges such as climate change, poverty and social injustice.

In the UK, International Human Solidarity Day is often marked by various campaigns, events and discussions centred on global solidarity and social inclusion. These may encompass activities related to the positive impact of migration, sustainable development goals, or the role of education in fostering global unity. Public bodies, organisations, learning institutions and individuals across the country engage in these insightful initiatives to forge a greater sense of global unity. The observance happens globally on December 20 annually, consistent with the UK as well.
