Today is International Literacy Day.
On November 17, 1965, UNESCO proclaimed September 8 as International Literacy Day. This holiday was first celebrated in 1966. Its goal is to highlight the importance of literacy for individuals, communities, and societies.

Each year on this day, UNESCO reminds the international community about the status of literacy and adult education on a global level.

This year, Literacy Day is being celebrated worldwide with the theme "Promoting Multilingual Education: Literacy for Intercultural Understanding and Peace," which emphasizes the importance of connecting people globally, bridging cultures, and sharing information. However, the first step on this path is certainly the proper use and cultivation of one's own language.
