Europe Day held on 9 May every year celebrates peace and unity in Europe. The date marks the anniversary of the historic "Schuman Declaration" that set out his idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between Europe's nations unthinkable. Schuman's proposal is considered to be the beginning of what is now the European Union.

To mark the special occasion, the EU institutions, including EU delegations and representations worldwide, will organise a wide range of online and on-site activities on 9 May 2023, providing citizens with the opportunity to discover and experience the European Union.
