On November 16, 1995, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) adopted the International Day for Tolerance and designated November 16 each year to commemorate it.

Countries also recognized the fact that people differ in appearance, status, speech, behavior, and values, but all have the right to live in peace and maintain their own identity.
Each year, various conferences and festivals are held on the occasion of the International Day of Tolerance. Among them, the 'Global Tolerance Animated Film Festival' in Drammen, Norway organized an International Animated Film Festival in 2013.

6. World Television Day 21/11
World Television Day is celebrated on November 21st every year to encourage countries to exchange television programs focusing on peace, security, development worldwide, and enhance cultural exchange.
In December 1996, the United Nations General Assembly chose November 21st as World Television Day to commemorate the first 'World Television Forum' held in 1996.
However, 11 national delegations opposed Resolution 205 by not voting, including the German delegation stating: 'There are already three days of the United Nations for similar themes: World Press Freedom Day, World Telecommunication Day, and World Development Information Day. There is another day that is even more meaningful... Television is just a means of information and a means of information that most people in the world do not have the opportunity to have... Most of these people will easily see World Television Day as a day for the wealthy. They do not have TV. There are more important means of information than television, such as radio. We believe that enhancing the role of those media is more important than the role of television.'


7. Vietnamese Teacher's Day 20/11
July 1946 marked the international organization of progressive educators established in Paris, France, FISE (Fédertion International Syndicale des Enseignants - International Federation of Education Unions). In July 1953, the Vietnam Education Union joined this international educational organization.
During the event held in Warsaw, Poland from August 26-30, 1975, the Education Union of Vietnam decided to take November 20, 1958, as the 'International Day of Dedication to Teachers,' and this day was first celebrated in the North and liberated areas of the South in the following years.
On September 28, 1982, the Council of Ministers (now the Government) issued Decision No. 167-HĐBT establishing November 20 as the annual holiday called 'Vietnamese Teacher's Day'.
This is a day to honor teachers, exemplary figures in educational activities contributing to the education sector of Vietnam. On this day, generations of students as well as other professions take the time to look back and express their gratitude for the silent dedication of their teachers.
Vietnamese Teacher's Day on November 20 has long been considered a day of 'respecting teachers and esteeming morals' to honor the 'silent boatmen' of many generations. It is also an occasion for students to express gratitude to their teachers with flowers or letters containing beautiful words. Moreover, this is a time for the education sector to review and evaluate the effectiveness of educational activities and set directions for improvements in teaching and learning.
