Japan - Coming of Age Day
Coming of Age Day (Seijin no Hi) is an important Japanese holiday that celebrates young people who have turned or will turn 20 (the age of majority in Japan) between April 2 of the previous year and April 1 of the current one.
The Japanese custom of celebrating coming of age ceremonies dates back to at least the 8th century. The coming of age ceremony named genpuku was modeled after a Chinese custom that originated in the early Tang Dynasty. The ceremony marked the transition from childhood to adulthood, which involved the assumption of adult responsibilities. Genpuku was held for aristocratic children aged between 10 and 20. The transition from child to adult status was usually denoted by changes in clothing and hairstyle.

Tunisia - Revolution and Youth Day
Revolution and Youth Day in Tunisia is celebrated on January 14. It is a public holiday adopted after the Tunisian Revolution (also known as the Jasmine Revolution) that began on 18 December 2010 and ended on 14 January 2011.
Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the President of Tunisia, had ruled the country since 1987. His government was characterized by the oppression of political opposition, therefore riots in Tunisia were quite rare. However, many people suffered from poor living conditions, unemployment, corruption, food inflation, lack of political freedoms.
