Next Friday is Europe Day, the day on which the European Union celebrates peace and unity in Europe. 9 May was chosen as it is the anniversary on a speech made by the then French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman in which he set out his idea for a new form of political cooperation between the countries of Europe.
Each year a Saturday near to Europe Day, the buildings that house the European Union’s institutions in Brussels open their doors to the general public.
Today those that wish to will be able to take a look around the buildings that house the European Parliament, the European Commission and the European Council.
The themes of is year’s open day are the forthcoming European elections and the future of Europe.
This video has footage of the Open Day at the European Commission.
