The Origin of International Day of Friendship
The International Day of Friendship was created by the United Nations General Assembly in 2011. The goal was to highlight the power of friendship in promoting peace and bridging gaps between cultures and communities. The day encourages young people to get involved in activities that celebrate diversity and foster mutual understanding.
Globally, the day is marked by various events and acts of kindness. Governments, organisations, and community groups are encouraged to organise activities that promote dialogue, solidarity, and reconciliation.
The idea of a friendship day dates back to 1958, proposed by the World Friendship Crusade, an organisation dedicated to fostering peace through friendship. The UN’s recognition of this day highlights the importance of building global connections that promote harmony and understanding.

The Role of Sweets in Strengthening Friendships
Sweets have a magical way of bringing people closer. Sharing a tasty treat can lift our spirits and create cherished memories. When we enjoy sweets together, it releases endorphins—those wonderful "feel-good" chemicals in our brains. This makes sharing sweets a delightful experience that strengthens our sense of happiness and connection.
Food, especially sweets, plays a big role in forming social bonds. Sharing food means sharing joy and creating a sense of community. Picture yourself sitting with friends, enjoying a box of Mrs Tilly’s fudge, and feeling your connections deepen.
Here are some fun facts about the science of sweets and happiness:
-
Sweets can boost serotonin levels, which contribute to our feelings of well-being.
-
Sharing sweets can increase oxytocin, often called the "love hormone," which strengthens our social ties.

Enjoying sweets can evoke nostalgic feelings, reminding us of happy past experiences and enhancing the present moment.
