Like all other agencies of the United Nations System,
the BREDA celebrates several international days every year. You will find
a comprehensive list of these below and you can find out more about related
activities by clicking on the relevant links.
We would like to collaborate with you through the setting
up of a forum of ideas, which will ensure a more efficient and
concerted effort in the organization of such days and in order to better
share them with the widest possible audience.
Whether you are an agency of the United Nations System,
an NGO or any other type of association, send us a list of the activities
that you have organized or are planning to organize as part of the celebrations
of these international days.
Remember to give the name of your group.
We are awaiting your contributions:
