Celebration of Peace and Unity
Europe Day is celebrated every year on 9 May. Europe Day is a day of peace and unity in Europe, celebrated in particular on the occasion of the festivities that unite the peoples and citizens of the European Union.
Europe Day will also be visible on the social media channels of the Northern Ostrobothnia EU Info Point in cooperation in cooperation with selected partners during the week starting 9 May. We will discuss this cooperation in more detail on Europe Day itself, Monday 9 May. President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has designated 2022 as the Year of Young People. This is reflected in the above-mentioned campaign in cooperation in cooperation with our partners and in our communications this year.
Europe Day has its roots in the end of the Second World War. Five years and one day after the end of the war, Robert Schuman gave a famous speech on the creation of a united Europe for the maintenance of peaceful relations. It is considered to be the starting point for the European Union. For the same historical reason, countries fighting on the Allied side of World War II celebrated Victory Day on May 8 or 9. in cooperation in cooperation with Russia celebrating Victory Day this year, the European Union's celebration of Europe Day highlights the solidarity and support of the European Union and the European Union for Ukraine.
