INTERNATIONAL DAYS

November 21 – WORLD TELEVISION DAY 

On November 21 and 22, 1996, the United Nations held the first World Television Forum, where leading media figures met under the auspices of the UN to discuss the growing significance of television in today's changing world and to consider how they might enhance their mutual cooperation. That is why the General Assembly decided to proclaim November 21 as World Television Day.

November 19 – International Men’s Day 

The Day was created in 1999 in Trinidad and Tobago, to focus on the health of males. Other aspects of the day include improving gender relations, showing that men can be positive role models, and promoting gender equality.

Over eighty countries celebrate Man Day, but it’s not always been like this. Most countries on the list such as the United States and the United Kingdom have only recently started to promote the day.
