Let’s celebrate Europe Day
Europe Day celebrates peace and unity in Europe. Over 70 years ago, in 1950, the historic ‘Schuman declaration’ steered Europe towards a path of peace, prosperity and political cooperation in Europe. This year again, the EEAS is preparing plenty of activities tailored to all ages in Brussels and in many places around the world.
On 6 May visitors are invited to the EEAS building in Brussels and to participate in a range of exciting activities: travel around the whole world in just one day and discover how the EU is working abroad to promote a safer and fairer world. Join us in playing games, quizzes, and taking pictures at our photo booth. Meet former EU Ambassadors, and attend our Expert Talks to learn more about EU's external actions on information manipulation, hate speech and disinformation.
The day wouldn’t be complete without cultural activities. Different artist both from Brussels and from other regions outside of Europe will perform. Take part in their show or learn a new skill in one of their workshops.

EU-Korea 60 Year Anniversary Video
Europe Day held on 9 May every year celebrates peace and unity in Europe. The date marks the anniversary of the historic 'Schuman declaration' that set out his idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between Europe's nations unthinkable. Schuman's proposal is considered to be the beginning of what is now the European Union.
2023 is a special year for the EU and the Republic of Korea as we are celebrating the 60th anniversary of our diplomatic relations. Our strategic partnership is deep and addresses a wide range political, security, trade, economic, environmental scientific and cultural issues.
