The week between April 23rd and 29th is filled with dates that help celebrate and raise awareness. This Sunday (23) is marked by World Book and Copyright Day. The date emerged in honor of two names of world literature: Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare. Last year, Repórter Brasil, from TV Brasil, spoke about the date: April 23 is also World Scout Day (a tribute to São Jorge, patron saint of scouts) and the National Day of Choro. In 2016, Repórter Brasil published an article about the date, in honor of Pixinguinha’s birthday. April 27th has two dates that shed light on two important professions in society: the graphic designer and the maid. The National Day of the Domestic Maid is a tribute to Santa Zita (patron saint of maids) and serves to remember the fight for the rights of the class. In 2012, Caminhos da Reportagem made a special episode about this category. The 28th is marked by three ephemeris. One of them is World Education Day, which highlights the importance of knowledge in social transformation. The date is also the National Day of the Caatinga (an exclusively Brazilian biome, known for its diversity of fauna and flora, which occupies 11% of the national territory). The series Nosso Biomes talked about the Caatinga last year: April 28 is also the World Day in Remembrance of Victims of Work Accidents. The date seeks to raise awareness in society about the importance of preventing accidents and occupational diseases. The event centralizes the “Green April” movement, which takes place throughout the month and was the subject of this article by Radioagência Nacional. To close the week, April 29 is International Dance Day. The date was established in 1982 by Unesco and aims to promote this art form worldwide. Radioagência Nacional and Sem Censura, from TV Brasil, have already made special content about the date.

His proposal was to attribute expressiveness to dance through pantomime, simplification in the execution of steps and subtlety in movements. Noverre stands out in history for having written a set of letters about the ballet of his time, Letters sur la danse brings themes related to culture, history, science and personalities, always emphasizing national and regional landmarks.
