Hi André I think it's a great idea to try for a UA Day Google Doodle. Given Google's reach, it would be an effective way to reach a large section of online users in multiple languages. If anyone knows how to request Google for a Doodle, we can get Staff to try to reach out to them.

Not sure if this has already been discussed.
It seems to me that a good way to enlighten many people about UA would be to have a UA Day Google Doodle on 28th March. UA is after all an endeavour for everyone.
Google doodles home is at google.com/doodles
If you look at some of the doodles you will see a section entitled "This Doodle's Reach". https://www.google.com/doodles/lunar-new-year-2023-south-korea reaches South Korea only https://www.google.com/doodles/lunar-new-year-2023 reaches UK, France, Australia, Indonesia, Philippines and several other countries but not the whole world.
I do not know how it is determined which countries are included in the reach of a doodle. I guess it is done algorithmically. Maybe based on keyword search statistics?
UA is relevant to every country/culture and so it is important that a UA Day Doodle reach includes every country in the world.
Google receives many request for new doodles and so there is no guarantee that a UA Day Google Doodle request submission would succeed.
Thoughts?
