Around 9 May, communities organise their own Europe Day moments. These gatherings help people reflect on what Europe means in their everyday lives and how they want its future to develop.
The European Cultural Foundation is bringing these initiatives together in a shared Europe Day agenda.
If you are organising a Europe Day activity or know of one, you can submit it for inclusion.

Europe’s long-term budget shapes more than spending. It shapes the continent including the places where people meet, learn and take part in public life.
Today’s Cultural Deal for Europe’ Annual Policy Conversation in Brussels looks at how culture helps keep those spaces open, and therefore deserves at least 2% of the budget.
