Europe Day9th May

Robert Schuman was

the French foreign minister between 1948 and 1952. As a

result of his experiences in Germany,

he recognised that only a

lasting reconciliation

with Germany

could form the basis for

a united Europe.

On the 9th of May in

1950Robert

Shuman’s statement

was the first step

towards the birth of the

European Union.

Since then we

celebrate the Europe Day on the 9th of May.

We have programs

and festivals on this

day, that brings

people of the EU

together.

9th of May is a

European symbol,

just as the EU flag,

the collective currency

(euro) and the

European anthem (the IX.

symphony of

Beethoven)

Hungary joined the European Union on the 1st of

May in 2004.

Therefore we have

two important

celebrations in May.

We

celebrate

with folk

dancing…

festivals

and eating

It’s very important to us that our children can learn a lot about

other European countries and cultures. The

Comenius program is a grate opportunity to

do this.

We enjoyed
