The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 24 January as International Day of Education, in celebration of the role of education for peace and development.
The right to education is enshrined in article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The declaration calls for free and compulsory elementary education. The Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted in 1989, goes further to stipulate that countries shall make higher education accessible to all.

12 August - International Youth Day

Summer Module will start with the celebration of the International Youth Day on 12 August declared by the United Nations General Assembly, through a series of activities. The above activities will be aimed at motivating young people to be more actively involved in all areas of social life and to be encouraged in making vital decisions. Activities that young people should take for their future, to ensure their better positioning in society.

These days will be observed through the following activities:

Youth represent countries in a simulated regional summit to negotiate on real issues— cross-border water use, youth brain drain, or digital infrastructure. Train them in negotiation, diplomacy, and public speaking.

Balkan Youth Exchange Dialogues
