World Acupuncture Day is an event organized by the World Acupuncture Day Organization (WADO) in response to the eighth anniversary that UNESCO has included acupuncture and moxibustion on it's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The one-day event, organized under the patronage of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and the World Health Organization (WHO) is taking place at the House of UNESCO in Paris, France.

On Thursday, November 15th practitioners, researchers, politicians, academics, and administrators of all disciplines related to acupuncture and moxibustion will share their knowledge and experience. The goal is to promote acupuncture worldwide, and to reach policy makers.

The World Scientific and Cultural Dialogue on Acupuncture (WSCDA) congress will take place the following two days (November 16th & 17th). This will allow other medical and health professionals, and researchers from around the world to exchange their skills and practices. The congress will take place at the City of Science and Industry, also in Paris, France.

This world event has a long list of partners - including WFAS (World Federation of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Societies), AFA (Association Française d'Acupuncture), APEMECT (Association pour la Promotion Européenne de la Médecine Chinoise Traditionnelle), and many more.
