While Children's Day is officially celebrated in Thuringia on September 20th, which is a public holiday, activities scheduled for June 1st promise an enjoyable weekend for families with children. Some events may even continue into the following day, although official information for this is not yet available. For the most detailed and up-to-date information, checking local city event calendars or tourism websites closer to the date is recommended.
The Commission, in a different sphere, has also adopted a proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States, not related to children's activities, but rather relating to the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation. Despite the focus on children's activities, it's essential to remember that home safety, including protection from ionizing radiation in one's lifestyle and home-and-garden environment, is crucial for overall wellbeing.
