In 1948, the creation of a World Health Day called for by the First World Health Assembly(议会)marked the founding of WHO. Since 1950, people around the world have celebrated World Health Day on 7 April with a different theme each year. Each theme reflects a priority(优先 )area of current concern to WHO.
World Health Day offers a worldwide opportunity for every member country to focus on key public health issues. WHO contributes by highlighting activities and analyses on the chosen theme from and out the member states of the WHO European Region, and WHO country offices hold special events to draw attention to the theme and encourage discussions among policymakers and other stake holders.

World Health Day 2017-Depression: Let's Talk
Depression is a major challenge to health in the WHO European Region and is the focus of World Health Day 2017.

Which literary character are you dressing up this year? Share your pictures and be part of a worldwide celebration of books and reading.
World Book Day, the annual celebration of books, authors and illustrators(插图画家),sees many schools transformed on I March 2018. It's an opportunity to inspire a love or reading in students-and also for pupils and teachers to dress up as their favourite fictional characters.
We'd love to see what you're wearing for your characters. Last year, there was such an impressive range sent in that we had trouble picking our favorites. Highlights included The Lord of the Rings characters, the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland and The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.
Send us a photograph of you or your colleagues wearing a World Book Day costume and tell us a bit about what you're doing with your class to celebrate. If children appear in the picture, please make sure you have permission from the parent or guardian(监护人).
How to contribute? You can share your photographs or videos of your World Book Day costume by clicking on the blue "contribute" button on this web-page or you can download the free app if you have a smart phone. Please use the description field to tell us more about the photo or video.
We have been through this first part of the year and have found ourselves already at spring break. If you're planning to spend a meaningful spring break, we have four fun-filled ideas to avoid the endless question:" What are we going to do today?”
Visit the museums.
Most museums, especially the smaller ones, offer day or even week long theme-specific camps. The camps are often a steal—nearly half-price of summer programmes. It's a great way to keep the young people in a structured routine while offering them a unique unit of study.
Get creative.
Each year our town hosts a chalk-drawing contest as part of a fundraiser. Why not use this as a jumping off point and organize a" Beautification Day"? It's easy enough to organize through social media channels; everyone brings their own chalk and, you've got yourself a group art class! Best part about it? Anyone can get involved. It brings the community together, and it costs nothing more than the price of chalk.
Act like a tourist.
Take this spring break and travel around the town like a tourist. Visit the historic farm, local art gallery, and public gardens with live music in your own town. Spend time in your own backyard, establish a positive connection to the place you live in and teach children all about appreciating where they live.
Take time out.
Spend this break dedicating time to others. Is there a food bank that needs reorganizing? A local park that needs weeding? Call your community board, or even local officials to find out an area of need that best suits your family. Spending time giving back to the community is a great way to build character and understand the importance of helping others.
