To celebrate Europe Day, the Central Library in Letterkenny will be hosting a free event on Friday 9th May from 11.00am to 1.00pm. There will be sample foods and fun facts from countries including Poland, Holland, France, Spain and Ireland. We will also have the opportunity to explore some Irish culture and learn some Irish phrases (Cúpla focal).
Europe Day celebrates peace and unity in Europe. The date marks the anniversary of the 'Schuman declaration', a historic proposal made by Robert Schuman, French Foreign Minister, in 1950 that laid out the foundation of European cooperation. Schuman's proposal is considered to be the beginning of what is now the European Union.
In 2025, Europe Day is a special occasion, as we are celebrating 75 years since the Schuman declaration
There is no need to book for this free event. See you there !
