Why Are We Celebrating and Who is Organizing the Event?
Europe Day marks the anniversary of the Schuman Declaration, presented on 9 May 1950. This signaled a new era for peace, integration and democratic cooperation in Europe, laying the foundations for the European Union as we know it today. Europe Day is celebrated annually on 9th May around Europe, also in Finland and Kainuu.
EUROPE DIRECT Kainuu is member of the Europe Direct network in Finland, which in turn is part of a Europe-wide family of centers. The centers make Europe accessible to people on the ground and get them engage in debates on the future of the EU. The network is managed by the European Commission.
