Return Day in Delaware is a unique, biennial tradition that takes place in Georgetown, Delaware, two days after Election Day. This event, steeped in history dating back to the late 18th century, symbolizes bipartisanship and unity. It is marked by a parade featuring local politicians from both major political parties who ride together in horse-drawn carriages. The highlight of Return Day is the ceremonial "burying of the hatchet" in a sandbox, signifying the end of the election season and the return to cooperative governance. The event also includes the public reading of election results from the Sussex County Courthouse balcony, an act that dates back to a time when citizens had to return to the county seat to hear the results. Return Day is a celebration of civic duty, democratic process, and the peaceful transition or continuation of leadership. It serves as a reminder of the importance of coming together for the common good after the conclusion of often divisive campaigns.

This day is a reminder of the need to provide a safe and supportive educational environment for all students, where they can develop and learn without fear or pressure. The international community and educational institutions use the day to hold various events, educate students about the consequences of violence and bullying, and create programs to prevent cyberbullying. The International Day to End Violence and Bullying at School, including cyberbullying, highlights the importance of solidarity and collaboration in tackling these issues to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all children and young people.

The International Day for the Prevention of Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict, observed on November 6, aims to draw attention to the devastating impact of armed conflict on the environment. This day recalls the need for efforts to protect nature and sustainable development in the context of war and conflict, in order to preserve ecosystems and ensure the well-being of future generations. We call on society and governments around the world to unite in the fight for peace and environmental conservation.
