Sometimes, a single day offers more than dozens of articles ever could.
Because everything becomes real: people, ideas, opportunities — no longer theoretical, but tangible.

On 2 May, Tashkent will host the European Union Festival 2026 – Europe Day. This open city event, inspired by the Team Europe approach, brings together EU-funded projects, embassies of EU Member States, and people who want to better understand what opportunities are available today.

Here, you can do more than just hear about EU-funded programmes — you can speak directly with their representatives, ask questions, and explore what suits you best, whether it’s education, participation in projects, or professional development.

The festival offers a unique opportunity to see how international initiatives are working in Uzbekistan in practice — across education, skills development, environmental sustainability, community support, and beyond.

A dedicated part of the programme focuses on experiencing EU countries in an engaging, interactive format. Embassies will showcase their tourism potential, educational opportunities, and cultural diversity — from readings of Finnish Moomin stories to dance workshops, quizzes, and informal exchanges.

Visitors are welcome to come with family and friends to:

  • explore EU countries through interactive formats: conversations with embassy representatives, cultural activities, and engaging spaces 
  • learn about educational opportunities: internships, studies, international programmes, and projects 
  • discover initiatives already active in Uzbekistan — in sustainability, skills development, community support, and human rights 
  • ask questions directly to project representatives and find out how to get involved 

The festival is designed as an open and welcoming urban experience — with interactive spaces for both children and adults, performances, and formats that require no prior preparation.
