The Open Day is your chance to get closer to the people you elect to represent you and see how they work to defend your interests in the European Union.
The programme for the day includes:
The European Parliament will be open from 10:00 until 18:00, last entry 17:30.
The Open Day of the European Institutions is your chance to explore not just the European Parliament but the family of institutions in Brussels that make the European Union a reality. Take a look at the website for the Open Day for full details.
Don’t miss your chance to celebrate Brussels on the same weekend with Iris Festival 2018. Join Brusselians for a huge programme of free concerts and activities across Brussels on 5-6 May. Stop by Brussels Park on Sunday 6 May to see what you can do in Brussels and look out for the European Parliament!
Peace and solidarity were the pillars of Robert Schuman’s 1950 declaration, which he presented on 9 May 1950. He proposed that France and Germany share their natural resources in a bid to make conflict between the countries ‘not merely unthinkable, but materially impossible’. Other European nations joined the endeavour, which made European cooperation a reality.
We remember and celebrate this founding act by opening the doors of the European Parliament and welcoming citizens to the heart of European democracy.
