Welsh Language Music Day is celebrated on the second Friday in February, and falls on February 13 this year. It celebrates all forms of Welsh music — be it indie, folk, punk, hip hop, or even electronica. The whole point of this day is to highlight the Welsh language and their rich culture of music to the world. Another aim: get more people speaking and learning the Welsh language by 2050. Gigs, events, and more are held in Wales — and across the world too — in honor of this day.
Carver Day
Carver Day, celebrated on January 5 every year, is one of the rare national days that commemorate an African American figure. It started in 1947 in honor of George Washington Carver, a noteworthy agricultural scientist, and inventor. It not only celebrates this remarkable innovator who was part of a marginalized community. It also honors his invention, which ended up helping farmers around the country, and produced enough food to feed and keep the United States sustained during the Second World War.
National Ladies Learning Code Day
National Ladies Learning Code Day is celebrated annually on November 6 in Canada. It is an advocacy program in Canada for women and the youth to learn about coding. Canada Learning Code started the program to promote technology learning in Canada — especially among women and other minority groups. National Ladies Learning Code Day aims to provide access to information and skills required to thrive in a digital world. Courses and workshops empower and educate women and there are plenty of scholarships for women and computer science scholarships available to help more women become programmers.
