#BEETHEFUTURE CALENDAR

What a lovely day! Even though clouds are already gathering in the sky, the weather will definitely last until the evening. And today everything will go like clockwork! Even if you are already a little late for a meeting or submitting a school assignment, you know that everything will be fine in the end. Even in difficult and unpleasant moments, look on the bright side and stay positive. Remember to cheer up pessimists and encourage them to think more optimistically.

Wetlands are reservoirs of drinking water, a source of food, a habitat of many plants and animals that at the same time offer space for recreation. Yet, did you know that people have destroyed more than 87% of the world's wetlands in the last 300 years?

Go to your favourite library and choose a book to your liking. A good book can be our best friend. Irish writer Richard Steele stressed the importance of reading with the famous phrase that "Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body."

January 31 is a backward day! How fun is that? Today, do everything oppositely. Wear your clothes with the back in front, say goodbye on arrival and say goodbye when you leave. Turn your back to the person you are talking to, start lunch with the dessert, and finish it with soup.

Your home should smell of delicious croissants today! Although we call it the French croissant, it does not come from France but Austria. Celebrate this day by baking croissants or learning how to prepare them in a confectionery course. Bon Appetit!

Did you know that in addition to being extremely fun, puzzles help improve memory, raise IQ, prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease, and reduce the impact of stress? So find a brain teaser, be it a puzzle, a crossword puzzle, sudoku or a word hunt, and get busy.

With the development of digitalisation and globalisation, data has become a valuable resource for various purposes. Today's International Data Protection Day draws attention to many (personal) data abuse cases and encourages us to be as careful as possible when sharing and storing data. Make sure the data on your computer and mobile phone is safe.

Chocoholics beware; today is definitely one of the sweetest days of the year. So treat yourself to a big piece of chocolate cake without a guilty conscience.

Happy birthday, Australia! Join the celebration by joining one of the organisations that work to prevent the Great Coral Reef from dying.

The famous Monte Carlo Rally has been held every year since 1911, when the first race towards the French Riviera was held. On this day in 1938, in the 17th rally with the finish line in Monte Carlo, the competitors started from eight European cities. One of the routes ran from Palermo in Sicily and included a checkpoint in Ljubljana.

January 24 has been declared International Education Day, emphasising the importance of lifelong learning and general education for all people. Knowledge is our most powerful weapon in the fight against ignorance, poverty, and discrimination. Therefore, on this day, visit an event organised as part of the celebration, or attend training in the field that particularly interests you.

On this day in 1872, the famous architect Jože Plečnik was born. He left his indelible mark on many European cities, especially in Prague, Vienna, and his hometown Ljubljana. His influence on the Slovenian capital's appearance was so significant that some call the city Plečnik's Ljubljana.

Today's Saturday is dedicated to our little ones. Unfortunately, parents sometimes find it difficult to find the time to fully dedicate themselves to their children due to the fast pace. So, cancel your appointments today and spend the day with your kids.

Did you know that a hug, in addition to brightening our day, strengthens the immune system, reduces stress, and helps us sleep better? So embrace all your loved ones and the friends you meet today. If you miss someone and can't visit them, send them a message with a virtual hug.

DJ, put the record on! Let's dance to the rhythms of our favourite hit songs played by radio or club DJs.
