May is also where we gear up for winter holidays. However those holidays will be this year. All of this is from Wiki
International Museum Day (IMD) is an international day held annually on or around 18 May, coordinated by the International Council of Museums (ICOM). The event highlights a specific theme which changes every year to reflect the basis of the international museum community’s preoccupations.
The IMD provides the opportunity for museum professionals to meet the public and alert them as to the challenges that museums face.
Each year, all museums in the world are invited to participate in IMD to promote the role of museums around in the world, creating unique, enjoyable and free activities around a theme discussed within the ICOM community for this special day.
Since its creation in 1977, International Museum Day has gained increasing attention with events in more than 98 countries and visitors numbered in their tens of thousands.
National Smile Month
is the United Kingdom’s largest oral health campaign, held annually across May and June. It is one of the biggest not-for-profit dental health events in Europe; it attracts thousands of event coordinators and reaches millions of people with oral health information. National Smile Month is run by the Oral Health Foundation, a UK-based oral health charity. In 2021 the campaign will take place between May and June.
n 2009 the National Smile Month campaign ran simultaneously in the UK and USA for the first time. The BDHF and its International Dental Health Foundation (IDHF) arm partnered Oral Health America in promoting good oral healthcare.
The campaign was judged a success and was estimated to have reached 180,000,000 readers and viewers. The slogan for 2009 was ‘Brush for Health’ and aimed to establish the message of connecting poor oral health with other systemic illnesses.
For the first time, National Smile Month was held in the United Arab Emirates, as ‘UAE Smile Month’ in June 2014.
