International Dalton Day 2022

 International Dalton Day 2022, Message of President Roel Rőhner

 This day is a very special day for the whole Dalton development worldwide. It is celebrated on the third Wednesday of March, therefore this year it is 16^th of March. International Dalton Day celebrates the importance and significance of Dalton influence across the world. This is a day, where all Dalton schools get appreciation for all their hard work and effort to create an environment in which children can develop their own strengths in a friendly, social environment.

International Dalton Day has become a custom every year now. All Dalton schools and initiatives globally deserve respect, support and care. Although the scenery of the world for Dalton education has changed over time and decades, we firmly believe that there is yet a lot of new, strong initiatives ahead of the whole community of Dalton International.

The Dalton Plan is an incident in a movement of a very great, worldwide importance. The extraordinary change of spirit commenced by Helen Parkhurst decades ago is still present in the Dalton movement globally.

This day, we would like to wish all Dalton schools worldwide a good continuation of their Dalton journey towards a better and brighter future in peace, trust, respect and mutual understanding.
