Europe Day 2023: celebrating European unity and diversity  

​​​The Festival of Regions and Cities, hosted by the European Committee of the Regions on 6 May, will welcome visitors with interactive stands, participatory presentations and games.

On 9 May, the European Union will celebrate Europe Day 2023, a moment to commemorate the Schuman Declaration that, on 9 May 1950, proposed the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community, which would ultimately become today's European Union. To mark the special occasion, the EU institutions, including EU delegations and representations worldwide, will organise a wide range of online and on-site activities, providing citizens with the opportunity to discover and experience the European Union.

This May, Europe Day will bring citizens together to learn more about how the EU is supporting peace, security and democracy through its resolve in face of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine and other conflicts worldwide. Europe Day 2023 will also enable visitors to become better acquainted with the EU's efforts to build a Europe that is green, digital and competitive, fair and skilled, as well as strong, resilient and safe. This year, it will also shed special light on the 2023 European Year of Skills, which will kick off on 9 May.

As part of the celebrations, the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) will again host the Festival of Regions and Cities. On 6 May, from 10 a.m. to 18 p.m., visitors can get to know the role of the institution that represents Europe's regions and cities, the CoR, through interactive display stands and also experience the diversity of cultures and traditions of Europe's regions. Tossing games, tastings, art education, book creation, and quizzes on European regions are some of the activities the CoR will offer.
