In a world that wants us exhausted, celebration is resistance.

From 19:00 CEST until late
Café Luxembourg

(Pl. du Luxembourg 10, 1050 Ixelles)

Ahead of Europe Day, we reflect on the place of the European project in a disrupted world, its achievements and its missed opportunities, while also expanding our community and strengthening our alliances for the years ahead.

To get the conversation started, EU&U has prepared a series of interactive workshops during the first part of the evening.

19:00 to 21:00 | Euro Flash Quiz 

Need to practice ahead of the AD5? Put your knowledge to the test, from EU institutions and history to geography, culture and Brussels bubble gossip. We cannot guarantee the last one is on the AD5, but we would not rule it out.

19:00 to 21:00 | Origami Workshop

When every day plays in crisis mode, taking a moment to slow down and create can be grounding. Join us to fold your own golden EU star in just a few minutes: a simple craft, and a perfect conversation starter for the next gathering.

From 21:00 onwards, we move to the dance floor with a DJ set by Senan Cullimore and a selection of European tunes.

Due to capacity constraints, places are limited. So register now and share the link with your friends as soon as you can.
