Each year on 9 May, Europe Day celebrates peace and unity across the continent, marking the anniversary of the Schuman Declaration, a visionary proposal in 1950 that laid the foundation for what is now the European Union.
Born from the ashes of war, the EU has become one of the world’s most ambitious peace projects, uniting diverse nations in the shared pursuit of democracy, human rights, and solidarity. Europe Day is more than a commemoration. It is a reminder of what can be achieved when countries choose cooperation over conflict.
In an age of global challenges, from climate change to digital transformation, the EU stands as a beacon of hope – proof that unity can drive progress and safeguard peace. Today is a celebration of what unites us. And a call to shape the future of our continent with courage, compassion and common purpose!
