International holidays - World Poetry Day

Poetry is a journey into the world of our dreams, emotions, aspirations and hopes, which expresses the deep spirituality of peoples. Lyrical lines are ready to change the whole world. With its associations, metaphors and its own grammar, poetic language is another aspect of dialogue between cultures. World Poetry Day appeared in November 1999, thanks to the initiative of the UN, and began to be celebrated annually on March 21. The organization has recognized the important role of poetry in art and world culture over many centuries. The event promotes the efforts of small publishers, introduces the population to poetic folk traditions, and strengthens the connection between poetry and other forms of expression such as dance, music and painting. One of the main objectives of the day is to support linguistic diversity through poetic expression and endangered languages, and to be heard by one's people. Many people around the world revere rhyming lines and their authors. Government agencies, educators, community groups, and individuals are involved in promoting poetry. This event gives children the opportunity to get closer to enchanting rhyme and poetic language. Poetry lessons are held in the classrooms, where students and schoolchildren get acquainted with outstanding poets and learn about the different types of their creations. Servants of the muse can be invited to bookstores, cafes, universities and schools to read. Exhibitions and poetry evenings will showcase the work of various styles of poetic lines. World Poetry Day is not a public holiday, so countries have declared normal working hours. Significant works of poetry and the images of their creators are presented in various materials and media in order to promote the holiday. As Poetry Day is celebrated around the world, please take the time to learn more about poetry organizations and festivals in your region. And remember that it is rhyming lines that confirm our common humanity, showing us that all over the world people are worried about the same issues and feelings.
