National Tradesmen Day

History of the holiday
The idea of National Tradesmen Day arose as a way to recognize the value and importance of professions involving manual labor: from carpenters, electricians, and plumbers to welders and joiners. Tradesmen have always played a key role in construction, industry, and daily life, but their contribution often goes unnoticed. The holiday has become a platform for increasing respect for these professions and promoting craftsmanship among young people.

* organizing exhibitions and demonstrations of trade skills;
* holding open workshops and lessons for children and adults;
* recognizing and awarding outstanding specialists in their fields;
* publishing materials about professions and their importance on social media and in the press.
