We have already analyzed in detail many dates of particular relevance in terms of events and happenings(here, here and here).European Weeks and European Days are special moments of exchange between organizations active in different thematic areas, and between them and EU institutions.
But the interesting dates do not end there! At many other conventionally defined times, it is possible to find interesting initiatives organized in Brussels, throughout Europe and even the rest of the way to celebrate “special days.”
