Международный день слепых Ежегодно 13 ноября во всем мире отмечается Всемирный день слепых. Эта памятная дата призвана привлечь внимание людей к тем, кто навсегда потерял зрение и оказался в трудной жизненной ситуации. Дату выбрала Всемирная организация здравоохранения: именно в этот день в 1745 году родился педагог Валентин Гаюи, создатель первых учебных заведений для слепых и автор рельефного алфавита для незрячих. В Международный день слепых проводятся симпозиумы, собрания, концерты в поддержку тех, кто навсегда потерял зрение и тех, кому еще, возможно, улыбнется удача и которые когда-нибудь смогут увидеть мир своими глазами. Впервые эту дату отметили по инициативе ВОЗ в 1984 году. Всемирный день доброты Во многих странах в этот день празднуют Всемирный день доброты. Этот праздник появился в Токио в 1998 году, когда США, Канада, Великобритания, Япония, Сингапур, Таиланд и Австралия впервые провели симпозиум под названием «Всемирное движение за доброту». Позже к ним присоединились и другие государства. Впервые праздник отметили два года спустя, а в Россию он пришел в 2009 году. Эта уникальная дата позволяет людям стать чуть добрее и проявить заботу и повышенное внимание к окружающим. В этот день ставятся спектакли, посвященные вопросам гуманности.
