International Friendship Day is a joyful reminder of the bonds that connect us all. It's a day to show gratitude to friends and for teachers and it's a chance to inspire kindness, empathy, and inclusivity in the classroom. By exploring the value of friendship through stories, our teaching resources, activities and discussions, educators can help create a harmonious classroom environment where students learn to appreciate and respect each other's unique qualities. International Friendship Day encourages students to build bridges of friendship that can contribute to a more peaceful world.
