Every year on Europe Day, we commemorate the signing of the Schuman Declaration on May 9, 1950, which laid the foundations for today's European Union, and its purpose was to ensure lasting peace in post-war Europe.
This year's Europe Day coincides with preparations for the European elections. On this occasion, we remember how important your voice and your contribution are in shaping the future of Europe.
Have you ever wanted to see Europe in one day? Join us here:
