TOGETHER WE ARE EUROPE
Europe Day on 9 May is an occasion to celebrate peace and unity in Europe.
Each year, the EU institutions in Brussels open their doors to the public for celebrations and activities, while EU Delegations around the world organise events throughout the whole month of May. Due to the Coronavirus crisis, there will be no open doors events in Brussels or in the Delegations to celebrate Europe Day this year. The ongoing crisis leaves no room for social gatherings, and our thoughts go out to all those who are fighting against the virus or suffering because of it.
However, we will still be marking this day, especially since this year we commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration - a powerful statement made by the French foreign minister Robert Schuman who initiated the process of European integration.
The European Union is stronger together, and together we will overcome this crisis. It is this message of unity and solidarity that we want to convey.
Let´s watch this video.... Sit back, enjoy and keep safe!
We want to show you some of the activities we have done with our students

European values (Belgium)
In times of quarantine we feel privileged to realise how much individual freedom we ususally have. Even in these difficult times, we are fortunate to live in safe countries in peace, our basic need provided. Less freedom right now, but still lots of opportunities to live a good life. #Europe #strongtogether

Eurooppa-päivää juhlitaan tänä vuonna verkossa
Eurooppa-päivää vietetään perinteisesti 9. toukokuuta, Schumanin julistuksen vuosipäivänä. Poikkeusoloista johtuen päivää juhlitaan tänä vuonna verkossa. Eurooppatiedotus on yhteistyössä Euroopan parlamentin, Euroopan komission, Eurooppalaisen Suomen ja Eurooppanuorten kanssa koonnut erilaisia etäaktiviteetteja, joiden avulla Eurooppa-päivää voi juhlistaa.
