The EESC celebrated Europe Day 2022 on 7 May with a twin focus on youth and support for Ukraine.

The EESC joined other EU bodies and institutions in Brussels to mark Europe Day and shared the common focus on youth and Ukraine.

While youth was the main theme in this European Year of Youth, a strong call to support and stand with Ukraine was conveyed in parallel by the EESC in a special dedicated page set up for this online event.

Europe Day is held every year in Brussels and elsewhere in the EU to commemorate Robert Schuman's historic declaration of 9 May 1950. It is a chance to look back at what the EU has achieved through peace, cooperation and solidarity and forward to what we hope to achieve in the future. On this day, the EU invites citizens from across Europe to learn how its institutions work and what it can do for them.
