In Denmark it is a tradition for the students to dress up and throw caramels and shoot water at the younger students, when they graduate. I think that a last day of school stamp, specifically for Denmark with caramels or dressed-up students would be a great idea!

Every year, on June 10th, the whole world comes together to celebrate World Modernism Day. This date gives us the opportunity to appreciate the beauty and innovation that this artistic movement brought with it. Modernism was an artistic and cultural movement that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It emerged as a response to industrialism, seeking to revitalize art, architecture, design, and literature with a focus on originality and experimentation. From the organic and flowing forms of Art Nouveau to the bold geometry and clean lines of Art Deco, modernism encompasses a wide range of styles and artistic expressions. Victor Horta was a Belgian architect and one of the founders of the Art Nouveau movement. His Hôtel Tassel project in Brussels is considered the first Art Nouveau house and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although Belgium has just received a batch of local stamps, there is not a single Art Nouveau building in it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hôtel_Tassel

The Velvet Revolution was a series of events that unfolded in Czechoslovakia during the latter part of 1989, leading to the end of 41 years of communist rule. The revolution was spurred by a combination of factors, including dissatisfaction with the communist regime, economic struggles, and a desire for political reform. The inspiration for change was part of a broader wave of movements across Eastern Europe during the late 1980s. The revolution was triggered by the police suppression of a peaceful student demonstration in Prague on November 17, 1989, which marked the International Students' Day. The violent response by authorities sparked widespread public outrage and galvanized various sectors of society. In the following days and weeks, mass protests erupted across the country, drawing diverse groups of people, including students, intellectuals, and ordinary citizens. These protests demanded political reforms, freedom, and an end to the one-party rule. The movement was led by a coalition of dissident groups, including Civic Forum led by playwright Václav Havel and Public Against Violence in Slovakia. The revolution earned its name "Velvet" because it was remarkably peaceful and non-violent. Unlike many other uprisings in the region, there was no significant bloodshed, and the transition of power happened relatively smoothly. As the pressure mounted, the communist government began negotiations with the opposition. On December 10, 1989, Czechoslovak President Gustáv Husák appointed a new government, and on December 10, 1989, the entire communist leadership resigned, including Husák. Václav Havel, a key dissident and leader of Civic Forum, became the new president on December 29, 1989, marking the first time a non-communist held the presidency in Czechoslovakia since 1948. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Revolution
