Stamp Requests

The beginning of the apprenticeships can vary, but as far as I know the 1st August is the most common date and applies to many people, myself included. An apprenticeship is a big new chapter in ones life and deserves to be celebrated! I'd love to see a stamp collection for apprenticeships in different fields such as medical (human and animal) and social craftsmanship commercial and office IT transport and logistics hospitality and tourism agriculture and environment The stamps could be designed with little tools from each field to represent said field and maybe a diploma to represent the scholarship part of the dual education system.

Brothers and Sisters Day, also referred to as Siblings Day, is observed on May 31 in some European countries. It was launched by the European Large Families Confederation (ELFAC) to celebrate sibling bonds and relationships. In Europe, Brothers and Sisters Day was launched by ELFAC in 2014 to highlight the importance of sibling relationships in child development. ELFAC was created in 2004 at the 2nd European Large Families Conference in Lisbon. It unites large family's association across Europe, representing over 60 million people from nearly 9 million families. The main objective of ELFAC is to represent the social and economic interests of families with children, with a special emphasis on large families, as the most appropriate environment for raising children and helping them integrate into society as functional members. The Confederation also strives to connect European large families' associations for the exchange of experience and mutual support. ELFAC suggested that Brothers and Sisters Day be celebrated on May 31 because it is the day before the International Day for Protection of Children, commonly referred to as Children’s Day. Besides, some European countries celebrate Mother’s Day in May (usually on the first, second or last Sunday of the month, depending on the country), and May 15 was declared the International Day of Families by the United Nations, so May is truly a “family month”. European Brothers and Sisters Day is celebrated in all countries with ELFAC’s member associations: Andorra, Austria, Cyprus, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, and Ukraine. The holiday is particularly popular in Portugal, where it has been acknowledged publicly by the president. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siblings_Day

The Qingming festival or Ching Ming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day in English (sometimes also called Chinese Memorial Day or Ancestors' Day), is a traditional Chinese festival observed by the Han Chinese of mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, and by the ethnic Chinese of Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Panama. It falls on the first day of the fifth solar term of the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar. This makes it the 15th day after the Spring Equinox, either 4, 5 or 6 April in a given year. During Qingming, Chinese families visit the tombs of their ancestors to clean the gravesites, pray to their ancestors and make ritual offerings. Offerings would typically include traditional food dishes and the burning of joss sticks and joss paper. The holiday recognizes the traditional reverence of one's ancestors in Chinese culture. The Qingming Festival has been observed by the Chinese for over 2500 years, although the observance has changed significantly. It became a public holiday in mainland China in 2008, where it is associated with the consumption of qingtuan, green dumplings made of glutinous rice and Chinese mugwort or barley grass. In Taiwan, the public holiday was in the past observed on 5 April to honor the death of Chiang Kai-shek on that day in 1975, but with Chiang's popularity waning, this convention is not being observed. A confection called caozaiguo or shuchuguo, made with Jersey cudweed, is consumed there. A similar holiday is observed in the Ryukyu Islands, called Shīmī in the local language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qingming_Festival https://publicholidays.cn/ching-ming-festival/

Finno-Ugric Day, which have been celebrated since 1928, have developed into one of the most important series of events that acquaint the wider public with Finno-Ugric peoples and strengthens the ties between them. According to a decision made by the 4th Finno-Ugric Cultural Congress in Helsinki in 1931, Finno-Ugrian Days are held annually on the third weekend of October in Estonia, Finland, and Hungary. Over the last few years, Finno-Ugric events have also been organized at this time in Russia’s Finno-Ugric regions. The Finno-Ugric peoples are the peoples who speak Finno-Ugric languages. The four most numerous Finno-Ugric peoples are the Hungarians (13-14 million), the Finns (six-seven million), the Estonians (1.1 million) and the Mordvins (744,000). The first three inhabit independent states – Hungary, Finland and Estonia – whereas Mordovia is a republic within Russia.
