"Know Europe. Live Europe"
Cyprus celebrates Europe Day
Europe Day provides for yet another year the opportunity for a
festive setting to be enjoyed by both adults and children at the
Limassol Multifunctional Seaside Park (Molos) on Saturday, 7 May,
from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m.
The
European Parliament Information Office in Cyprus, the European
Commission Representation in Cyprus, the Press and Information Office
and the Lemesos (Limassol) Municipality have worked together to
combine knowledge and entertainment in the most enjoyable way.
Information stands on EU funding, employment and education
programmes, Embassies of EU member states offering information on
their countries as well as traditional food and drinks, charity
bazaar, music, dance and other performances, kids’ corner with fun
activities, live radio program by Kanali 6 and many other surprises
await all those attending this year’s Europe Day celebration. The
Cyprus News Agency is the communication sponsor of the event.
Europe
Day is celebrated every year throughout the EU on 9 May. The date
marks the anniversary of the historic speech given in Paris on the
9th of
May 1950 by the French Foreign Minister, Robert Schuman. His proposal
for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would
prevent war between Europe’s nations, is considered to be the
beginning of what now is the EU. Europe Day gives us the opportunity
to remember and celebrate the ideas and values on which the EU
is founded, and all that unites us as Europeans.
As every year, the event on Europe Day in Cyprus is open to the
public.
