Welcome to Europe Day!! | CDE Almería - Centro de Documentación Europea

Welcome to #EuropeDay!

Europe Day celebrates the peace and unity of the European 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 for a new form of political cooperation in Europe that would make a new war between European nations unthinkable. Schuman’s proposal is seen as the beginning of what is now the European Union and celebrations have been held every 9 May ever since.

“Europe will not be built all at once, nor in a comprehensive project: it will be built through concrete achievements, which first and foremost create a de facto solidarity”. Robert Schuman.

Events in the EU

To celebrate Europe Day, the EU institutions are opening their doors to citizens in Brussels and Strasbourg. EU representations in Europe and around the world organise a variety of activities and events for all ages. Every year thousands of people attend visits, debates, concerts and other events to celebrate the day and raise awareness of the EU.

The EU invites citizens from all over Europe and the rest of the world to discover the EU in a safe and above all virtual way, with face-to-face events and visits when health conditions allow.

EU institutions will open their ‘virtual’ doors so that citizens from across the EU and beyond can find out more about the European Union and its activities.

Visit the Europe Day portal to find out more about the Parliament, the Commission and the other EU institutions, as well as Europe Day activities taking place in the EU and around the world. Hover your mouse over a country on the portal’s interactive map to find out what’s happening near you.

Take a virtual tour of the European Parliament, Commission headquarters and other EU institutions. An interactive online space allows visitors to play games, watch videos and test their general knowledge of the EU, as well as what they know about issues such as a green and digital Europe. With a single click, users can take part in online debates on EU topics and explore online events.

And as we all know that music brings us together… Happy and musical Europe Day!

The essence of Europe is its unity. From Andalusia, we send an embrace of affection and solidarity to all the countries of the Union. As we did last year, we present the video made by the Junta de Andalucía and we encourage you to continue together in this critical situation in which we are in the hope of a close encounter. We must continue to join efforts together to overcome the COVID19 .#AndalusiaInEurope
