Latest news and updates from the International Day of Light Secretariat


*Dear Supporters of the International Day of Light,*

As the International Day of Light on 16 May approaches, it is wonderful to
see enthusiasm developing as we receive enquiries and updates from around
the world. Event registration
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=9cc31798fb&e=773971c1ea>
is accelerating, and our event calendar
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=31b752e8b4&e=773971c1ea>
is starting to fill up!

This newsletter provides a summary of some of the many events and
initiatives that are in preparation. If you are organising something
yourself, don't hesitate to pre-register your plans and add a short
description now, even if you may need to modify some details later. The
secretariat team is always ready to help.  And please take advantage of our
resources
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=d0d8fe049a&e=773971c1ea>
such as logos and videos and speaker lists that you can integrate into your
events. And if this is the first time you are organising an activity, our quick
guide
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=5dd483835b&e=773971c1ea>
is a great starting point.

Significantly, the date of 16 May also sees the recognition of another
United Nations Observance, the International Day of Living Together in Peace
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=ca918e4e0a&e=773971c1ea>.
It is important to note here that the International Day of Light has always
encompassed broader societal themes in line with the overarching objective
of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) to foster worldwide understanding, respect and peace. Light is a
powerful symbol of inclusion and hope, and as the world continues to face
multiple challenges in the coming months, we encourage you all to consider
including broader educational themes in your planning, perhaps through
speakers from outside the purely scientific field, or through a panel
discussion on the role of scientists in engaging with societal concerns.

And in this context, we are delighted to welcome as a new collaborating
partner the LIGHT Education Initiative whose focus is on promoting human
rights education in schools. This is of course a vital theme for us all,
and you can read more about their activities below. We are also honoured to
highlight another new collaborating partner for 2022, the Eye Mission of
the Pacific, and their plans to support rebuilding actions in Tonga
following the devastating volcanic eruption and tsunami are also outlined
below.

In 2022, the International Day of Light (IDL) falls on a Monday, and so we
are suggesting a strong global focus during the period of 15-22 May.
Moreover, as we describe below, the evening of 15-16 May sees a total lunar
eclipse in many parts of the world, and this can be a great way to bring in
even more participants with observation events.

As you plan, we encourage you all to read our guides for organising events,
continue following and engaging with our social media channels using the
hashtags #LightDay2022
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=e465836182&e=773971c1ea>

*In Memoriam - Costel Subran (1949 - 2022)*

The International Day of Light community was extremely saddened to hear of
the passing of Costel (Constantin) Subran, a tremendous leader & supporter
of optics in France & worldwide, on 28 January 2022. Costel's career
spanned 4 decades and included academia, industry, and voluntary actions
and leadership within scientific societies. In all his spheres of interest,
he brought with him a genuine passion for education and communication. He
was particularly ahead of his time in seeing how events that combined
science and culture were extremely successful in reaching across broad
sectors and greatly enhancing efforts in science education. Within France,
he organised year-long celebrations of this type for the 50th anniversary
of the laser in 2010 and the International Year of Light in 2015. He also
organised major public events in France every year since the first
International Day of Light in 2018. Those who had the good fortune to
attend the events he organised at emblematic locations such as the Louvre
and the Sorbonne will never forget them. Being based in Paris, Costel's
personal and logistic support was also essential to the efforts spanning
multiple years in obtaining UNESCO’s support for both the International
Year of Light and the International Day of Light initiatives. His
contributions and guidance were vital to their success. Costel leaves a
remarkable human legacy in the many friends, students and colleagues around
the world who have been inspired by his example. We will remember him with
great fondness, and especially every year on the International Day of
Light. We express our sincere condolences to his family.

*Total Lunar Eclipse on 16th May 2022*

This year, we are especially lucky that the International Day of Light
coincides with a total lunar eclipse or “blood moon
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=7303f484a0&e=773971c1ea>.”
Specifically, on the evening of 15-16th May, many parts of the world,
especially regions of North and South America, Africa & Western Europe will
witness a total lunar eclipse.  In fact, the total lunar eclipse will also
be preceded by a partial solar eclipse on the 30th of April visible from
parts of South America. Eclipses are great opportunities to jointly
celebrate the significance of light and light-based technologies in
astronomy and optics, and to promote events and activities within
communities, schools and other institutions. Events related to the eclipses
are already showing up in our global calendar
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=5ec124e4e7&e=773971c1ea>
and we are excited to see the creativity and imagination unfold with each
event registration
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=de36c3f27a&e=773971c1ea>.

*Sharing The Power Of Light With The Signify Foundation*

Signify was a Founding Partner of the International Year of Light in 2015,
and has been a key member of the Steering Committee of the International
Day of Light since its inauguration in 2018. Through the Signify Foundation
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=fb9d259fba&e=773971c1ea>,
the company leverages and applies its expertise and global reach to bring
light and opportunities to underserved communities and regions worldwide.
In a world where around a billion people have no reliable access to power,
readily-available convenient sources of electric light remain a dream for
many. The Signify Foundation aims to end this imbalance by working with its
partners worldwide to ensure the benefits of sustainable lighting are
available to all.

After 5 years of operation, the actions of the Signify Foundation have
served communities worldwide across Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin
America. The foundation’s programmes
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=45ed211713&e=773971c1ea>
have included both the direct installation of sustainable lighting
solutions, as well as support for market ecosystem building. During 2021,
the focus has been to build recovery and resilience by enabling access to
light and livelihood development. The foundation has just released a
video Sharing
the Power of Light
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=2991d80ec0&e=773971c1ea>
which highlights these achievements.  The video was created  in support of

*Eye Mission of the Pacific as a Collaborating Partner for IDL 2022 *

The UNESCO International Day of Light is delighted to welcome as a
Collaborating Partner the Eye Mission of the Pacific, a Honolulu-based
foundation that serves people of the Pacific region who suffer from vision
loss or low vision.  Eye Mission of the Pacific coordinates volunteer eye
surgeons, support staff and surgical equipment suppliers to assure clinical
expertise and eye care to those who may have no other treatment options.

Following the devastating Hunga Tonga eruption, Eye Mission of the Pacific
is implementing a special initiative for 2022 to assist the Kingdom of
Tonga’s only ophthalmologist Dr. Duke Mataka.  In his mission,  Dr. Mataka
arrived in Tonga in 2018 after a decade where there was only very limited
eye care available in this archipelago of 170 islands. Given the added
challenges to rebuild Tonga after the devastating tsunami and ash cloud,
Eye Mission of the Pacific will send an all-volunteer medical mission to
Tonga to assist in cataract surgeries.  In addition, the founder of Eye
Mission of the Pacific ophthalmologist Dr. John M. Corboy will donate a
Zeiss YAG laser to Tonga to treat proliferative diabetic retinopathy via
laser panretinal photocoagulation. Diabetic retinopathy is the fastest
growing cause of blindness in Tonga and globally.  Dr. Corboy has sponsored
philanthropy in ophthalmology in Tonga since 1982.

These life-changing treatments will literally reopen the passage of light
into the eyes of the blind! For more information contact Eye Mission of the
Pacific via the web page https://eyemissionofthepacific.org

*LIGHT Education Initiative as a Collaborating Partner for IDL 2022*

In cultures across the world, light is a universal symbol of inclusion and
hope, and the International day of light has always embraced and included
activities that address the symbolic power of light to promote the mission
of UNESCO in fostering understanding and peace. For the International Day
of Light 2022, we are therefore very honoured to welcome as a collaborating
partner the LIGHT Education Initiative
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=6fdb04b7a2&e=773971c1ea>.


The mission of the LIGHT Education Initiative is education in middle and
high schools on the themes of genocide, human rights, and holocaust
education. These are all themes that are of central importance to achieve
the aims of UNESCO and the United Nations, and indeed UNESCO itself always
strongly supports all efforts in holocaust education
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=2e110e5ce0&e=773971c1ea>
and remembrance.

Some specific goals of the LIGHT Education Initiative for IDL in 2022 are:
a week of LIGHT Day Celebrations in schools across Southwestern
Pennsylvania from 16-20 May; a LIGHT Day Student Summit at Montour High
School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Friday, May 20th with 10-15
participating school districts; a lecture by the Society for the
Preservation of the Murals of Maxo Vanka on their use of light in
illuminating and preserving the murals, while using the murals to teach
about social justice, art, and the immigrant experience. A central mission
of the LIGHT Education Initiative is to transform educational activities
into lasting community action to counter antisemitism, hate speech, and all
identity-based discrimination.

*The Power of Light Discovered by Spanish Primary School Students*

The Spanish Committee of the International Day of Light, ALBA Synchrotron
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=494fa8b171&e=773971c1ea>
- the Spanish light source and also the biggest research infrastructure in
the country - recently launched an educational programme called Misión ALBA
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=2fee46fe43&e=773971c1ea>
running from November until May 2022. In this programme, students of the
age group 10 to 12 years perform different experiments related to light, in
their classroom. These experiments aim to answer questions on the role
light plays in our vision, how it helps us understand the properties of
various materials, how light can be used to create practical solutions to
solve our daily challenges and more.

One of the main attractions of the project is that the students get to
interact with real scientists and engineers directly either in-person or
online, enabling them to receive feedback from the ALBA Synchrotron staff
and gain an understanding of how large research organisations function.
This also helps in removing barriers and in making science more accessible
and appealing to young people. Students and teachers have access to
different educational materials: videos, instructions for experiments,
quizzes and newsletters after each experiment. Besides this, the ALBA
Synchrotron team provides timely assistance and follow-up to ensure the
smooth running of the programme.

The project started back in 2018 and has already held four editions,
reaching students from all around Spain, including rural or special
education needs schools. This year will see a participation of over 500
teachers and 15000 students, finishing their missions just in time to
celebrate together the International Day of Light on the 16th of May.

The ALBA Synchrotron is fully committed to fostering scientific culture and
coordinates other outreach projects like the guided tours at the facility,
the Open Days, a podcast series and other training activities like
workshops at the schools.

*World Interferometry Day 2nd Edition*

April 6th, 2022 marks the second edition of the World Interferometry Day
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=5f515dfb04&e=773971c1ea>
commemorating the seminal birth of the interferometer with special focus on
Michelson interferometer. In the early days of April 1881, 141 years ago,
Albert Abraham Michelson invented the interferometer, a device that would
be successfully used in a famous experiment 6 years later, together with
E.W. Morley, to convincingly disprove the existence of an ether through
which light waves had been commonly assumed to propagate. Since then, the
interferometer has truly triumphed in science and technology. Today, the
applications of interferometers range from nano and precision technologies
to the exploration of space and the mysteries of gravitational waves.

World Interferometry Day is welcoming events
<https://lightday.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c8c821e196c8c97b05e919d36&id=681ccb4299&e=773971c1ea>
with an aim to strengthen scientific and economic cooperation, and to
promote sustainable development worldwide. Also provide an opportunity for
diverse sectors of society worldwide to develop and combine activities to
express the importance of science and technology towards the benefit of the
society. This clearly coincides with #IDL2022 objectives and we welcome
events that jointly celebrate light-based technologies and its impact on
society.

In fact events
