This Saturday (June 7th) Brussels is putting on its Festival of Europe. It is a marvellous opportunity for European Citizens to visit and learn about the institutions at the heart of Europe.
Just as you can visit the Senedd in Cardiff on any Saturday, this Saturday will enable everyone to access the Council, the Commission, the Parliament, the Committee of the Regions and the European Economic and Social Committee, there will be stands providing information and animations from the 27 member states.
This year, the theme of the festival is “the European year of intercultural dialogue”. As a result, there will be a number of associations, animations and shows both on stages and in the streets. I feel that this is a great opportunity not only to learn about how the European Union works, but also about the diverse history, heritage and culture of its regions.
