Interreg V-A Romania-Bulgaria Programme celebrates Europe Day by organizing interactive games for students in two schools from Romania (Călărași) and Bulgaria (Silistra) under the slogan “We are Europeans!”

Students were invited to complete an imaginary route in Europe, trying to raise their knowledge and understanding of the world around them through verbal language and writing or symbols and elements which can be associated with the European Union.

After the short trip through Europe, the pupils students wrote their messages regarding the European Day, filling in a multicolor panel which reflected the European slogan “Unity in diversity”.

The aim of the event was to raise awareness among the youth on the importance of the European Union, to promote a European thinking, and also to understand the importance of cross border cooperation for all European citizens. Nowadays, for 28 states and over 500 milion people, the European Union represents an area without borders which offers more opportunities, equal chances, freedom and a cleaner space.

The Programme, by the actions organized by the Joint Secretariat for the Interreg V-A Romania - Bulgaria Programme (Cross Border Cooperation Regional Office Calarasi) continues the tradition of celebrating the European Day.
