Europe Day Celebrations: Engage with Eurostat in Luxembourg

As Europe Day approaches on May 9, Eurostat is gearing up for a special event in Luxembourg, following a successful gathering in Brussels on May 4. This upcoming event is not only a celebration of Europe Day but also marks a milestone anniversary of the EU’s largest expansion, making it a particularly notable year for the European community.

On Thursday, May 9, from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, Eurostat will host a stand at the Konrad Adenauer building of the European Parliament at Place de l’Europe in Luxembourg. This event is set to provide attendees with a blend of educational and interactive experiences. Visitors can explore various Eurostat publications through engaging formats and participate in a quiz to test their EU knowledge. Prizes will be awarded based on quiz outcomes, adding a competitive and fun element to the learning experience.

2024 holds special significance as it is an election year for the European Parliament. The event aims to deepen public understanding of the EU’s impact and the democratic process, aligning with the broader goals of fostering informed citizenship ahead of the elections. It is an opportunity for attendees to celebrate European unity and learn more about the EU's history and its future direction.

Additionally, visitors will have the rare opportunity to go behind the scenes of the European Parliament during the open doors day and discover the 'Europa Experience'—the largest interactive information center about the EU. This feature aims to make EU information more accessible and engaging, especially significant in an election year.

The event in Luxembourg is designed to be informative, interactive, and enjoyable, providing a unique way to engage with Europe Day and gain a deeper understanding of the European Union. It’s an invitation to all, from locals to tourists, to come and celebrate Europe in the heart of one of its foundational cities.
