Every year on 12 May, the world comes together to celebrate the nursing profession on International Nurses Day.

The 2023 theme for International Nurses Day is A Voice to Lead: Our Nurses. Our Future. Set by the International Council of Nurses (ICN), the 2023 theme addresses the global health challenges exacerbated by a shortage of nurses. Nurses are crucial in all parts of health care, whether it be acute, preventative, primary or community care, and a refusal to address the ongoing worker shortage will leave all Australians worse off.

That’s right, the issue that blokes with neck beards say never existed in the first place, is no more. Exisiting since the dawn of time, the Gender Pay Gap had ri...

The Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated on month 8 day 15 of the Chinese Lunar Calendar, and it always falls in September or October (ranging from about Sep. 6 to Oct. 6)

According to the Chinese lunar calendar (and traditional solar calendar), the 8th month is the second month of autumn. As the four seasons, each has three (about-30-day) months on the traditional calendars, day 15 of month 8 is "the middle of autumn".

On the 15th of each lunar calendar month, the moon is at its roundest and brightest, symbolizing togetherness and reunion in Chinese culture. Families get together to express their familial love by eating dinner together, appreciating the moon, eating mooncakes, etc. The harvest moon is traditionally believed to be the brightest of the year.

Enjoy the day with your family!

For International Youth Day 2021

Each year, the United Nations decides a theme that is relevant to all global communities and citizens. This year's theme is "Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health". According to the United Nations, this year's theme highlights the crucial need for "inclusive support mechanisms that ensure youth continue to amplify efforts collectively and individually to restore the planet and protect life while integrating biodiversity in the transformation of food systems." Along with this, other challenges -- climate change, healthcare, social inclusion, and conservation of biodiversity -- will also be addressed.

Happy International Youth Day! ❤

12/08/2021

In 1999, in its resolution 54/120, the General Assembly endorsed the recommendation made by the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth (Lisbon, 8-12 August 1998) that 12 August be declared International Youth Day. The Assembly recommended that public information activities be organized to support the Day as a way to promote better awareness of the World Programme of Action for Youth, adopted by the General Assembly in 1995 (resolution 50/81).

International Youth Day is commemorated every year on 12 August. The Focal Point on Youth selects a theme for the day often with input from youth organizations and members of the UN Inter-Agency Network in Youth development. It also organizes a virtual commemoration of the Day. The Programme encourages youth around the world to organize activities to raise awareness about the situation of youth in their country.

Leveraging on OSGEY’s expertise in convening meaningful global conversations and mobilizing young people from around the world, OSGEY hopes to give the opportunity for partners to take part in the global collective effort to empower the world’s largest generation through innovation.
