Why do we celebrate Europe Day?

Trans Europe Halles

Headquartered here in Lund, Trans Europe Halles represents one of Europe’s largest cultural networks with 135 member organisations from 39 countries. Focused on arts, people & buildings, you might say they serve as a model example of the keystone tenet of Europe Day; peaceful prosperous unity through de facto solidarity.
