Each year, 9 May marks Europe Day and the anniversary of the 'Schuman Declaration', which, in 1950, saw the beginning of the process of building the European Union. That was a huge moment of change for Europe. And today, the European Union is facing another great time of change, a time in which it wishes to use the richness and the lessons of its history and heritage to shape a future that makes Europe better for everyone. Here’s how you can get involved.
On Europe Day 2020, Members of the European Heritage Alliance are proud to launch their - Cultural heritage: a powerful catalyst for the future of Europe.

When a long-planned exhibition celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the Schuman Declaration could no longer take place in European cities, the European Parliament Archives worked with Europeana to bring the exhibition to life online – in 24 languages. We speak to Ludovic Delepine, Head of Archives at the European Parliament, about how it all came together.
