International Children’s Day
The International Children’s Day (ICD) is celebrated in numerous countries, usually (but not always) on June 1 each
year.
The ICD had its origin in the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in Geneva,
Switzerland in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the ICD: one theory
has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the
Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also
coincided with the conference in Geneva.
June 1 has since been observed as the ICD by numerous countries, especially by
Communist countries; in the Western world the ICD is usually celebrated on other days
of the year (if at all), and there is often little public awareness about these celebrations.
(See the section on Germany below for further discussions.) Consequently there is
sometimes a misperception that June 1 as the ICD was a Communist invention.
Nonetheless, in recent years even some groups within the United States started
observing the ICD on June 1.

Germany
During the Cold War, the Children’s Day (Kindertag) was handled quite differently in the two states. So, the date was
different (GDR: June 1st, FRG: September, 20th), the name was slightly different (GDR:
"International Children’s Day" ("internationaler Kindertag"), FRG: "World Children’s Day" ("Weltkindertag")), and most notably: the customs were different.
In the GDR, the holiday was introduced in 1950, and was from then on a yearly highlight
for the children. On this day of the year, one typically received congratulations and
presents from one’s parents and did special activities in school, such as field trips and the like. In the FRG,
Children’s Day did not have such meaning to the children, and was even mostly unknown to many
people.
Since the affiliation in 1990, the date and name used in the FRG have become the official
ones for the former GDR as well. This however was not accepted by large parts of the
former GDR population, so that still many parents celebrate with their kids on the former
date, June 1st, and even Children’s Day public events take place on the old date.

Japan
Main article: Kodomo no hi
Children’s Day (こどもの日, Kodomo no hi) is one of the holidays in Japan. It is celebrated on May 5 each year,
when Japan celebrate their children’s growth on that day. Before World War II, it was called as "Tangonosekku" (端午の節句) and it was a festival for boys. But in 1948, when the festival became an official holiday,
it became a holiday for wishing all children’s happiness and welfare.
Children’s Day is commemorated in Japan by flying flags in the shape of carp against the wind,
symbolizing a child’s determination to thrive against adversities.
