Inside EEAS headquarters
- Visit the stands in the EEAS building, informing on the EU’s activities around the globe, the EU Missions and Operations, but also representing EU agencies such as SatCen or the EUISS. Children will be able to acquire “passports” to collect stamps from the various stands. Do not forget to visit our social media corner, check out the photo booth and the Wheel of Fortune quiz.
- You will have the chance to discuss with EU diplomats from different world regions in the “Ambassadors corner” or educate yourself about what the EU does to combat disinformation campaigns and what you always wanted to know about sanctions.
- Enjoy a special Concert with Ukrainian singers and classic performances by a children’s Choir from the European schools in Brussels.
Outside
- Keep up the spirit with more international tunes and round off your visit by attending the special African Concert “Rencontres EU Afrique” featuring Krisy and the Amazones d’Afrique at the entrance to Parc du Cinquantenaire just outside the EEAS building at the early evening hours.
- Also at the Parc du Cinquantenaire, you will be able to assist to the unique #ThankYouTour from the Ukrainian All-star band.
- EU Delegations around the world organise their own Europe Day activities, promoting some of our flagship initiatives such as the Global Gateway. Also look out for famous landmark buildings such as the Empire State Building in New York to be illuminated in the EU colours. Find all activities here.
