Every May 9, Europe Day celebrates the peace and unity of the continent. The date is the anniversary of the historic Schuman declaration. In a speech delivered in Paris in 1950, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman set out his idea of a new form of political cooperation that would make war between European nations unthinkable
Faced with an exceptional situation like the one we are experiencing and given the impossibility of being able to hold meetings, debates or other events to celebrate Europe Day, we propose that you discover another way of celebrating it.
