Dairy Outlook is a service of FAO’s Trade and Markets Division<http://www.fao.org/economic/est/est-commodities/dairy/en/> Good Day We are proposing to lead on the celebration of World Milk Day and want to know if this year had a Theme or a Toolkit that could be shared… Craig Williams REPLY: Hello Craig, The theme for World Milk Day is always ‘milk’. Therefore, it would be up to you to choose an aspect that is most appropriate to your work and interests. I’m attaching below a message with some links to background information on World Milk Day … including celebrations which have been held in the past. If my memory serves me well, Jamaica has in the past celebrated World School Milk Day (last Wednesday in September) – organised I believe by the Ministry of Education. Could you send us photos of any events which are held? Best regards, Michael Dairy Outlook is a service of FAO’s Trade and Markets Division<http://www.fao.org/economic/est/est-commodities/dairy/en/> Just a reminder to everyone that World Milk Day is on 1st June … it’s not too late to plan a celebration, if you haven’t already done so. Michael ========================================================================= Dear Members, As we move into the year, I would like to remind everyone to mark World Milk Day (1 June)<http://www.fao.org/economic/est/est-commodities/dairy/school-milk/15th-world-milk-day/en/> and World School Milk Day (28 September)<http://www.fao.org/economic/est/est-commodities/dairy/school-milk/en/> in their diaries. Remember, it’s up to you to decide what type of celebration you wish to hold – this could be anything from a Press Release to a national event. In order to get some inspiration, details of previous years’ events are contained at: Report on 15th World Milk Day 2015<http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/est/COMM_MARKETS_MONITORING/Dairy/Documents/World_Milk_Day_2015.pdf> Report on 16th World School Milk Day 2015<http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/est/COMM_MARKETS_MONITORING/Dairy/Documents/School_Milk_Day_2015.pdf> As you will see, these Days have been around for over fifteen years – so children who participated in the first school milk days would now be young adults. Therefore, new ideas to bring spontaneity and excitement are always welcome. Also, once you have planned a celebration, we would be very happy to hear about it, so that we can publicise it via the e-network and provide inspiration to others. Looking forward to hearing from you!
