History of EU - Shuman Declaration

On the 9 May, is Europe Day, so-called because several important events have taken place on this day throughout history, including:
1945 was the end of the Second World War on European soil,
In 1950, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman presented the Schuman Declaration, which for the first time spoke of the integration of European countries and is now considered the conceptual framework of the European Union.

The Schuman Declaration and the history of the European Union are the subject of the Boter Institute's project DESIRE - Schuman Declaration: Initiative for the Revival of Europe, which aims to remind people that Europeans share a common history and that it is crucial for us to be in solidarity, to connect and to work together.

Learn more about the history of the EU and the Schuman Declaration in the video produced as part of the project.

The project is funded by the EU's Europe for Citizens programme.
