Europe Day marks the anniversary of the Schuman Declaration, presented on 9 May 1950. This signalled a new era for peace, integration and democratic cooperation in Europe, laying the foundations for the European Union as we know it today.

To commemorate the Declaration’s 75th anniversary, events will take place throughout Europe, while the EU institutions invite citizens to visit their premises.

The Representation of the European Commission in Greece will host this year’s celebratory events on Friday, May 9th, in Rhodes and Kastelorizo. The keynote speaker will be Mr. Apostolos Tzitzikostas, European Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism.

The programme includes a full day of activities, such as interactive sessions with students and pupils, an art exhibition featuring works by young artists, and guided tours of the medieval town.

The Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency will also be present to inform the public about the RRF-Greece 2.0 projects currently underway in Rhodes and across the country.
