Europe Day 2025

On the occasion of Europe Day, EUNIC India is organizing a special program to honor the unity, diversity, and shared values that bring Europe together.

Europe Day, held every year on May 9, marks the birth of what we now know as the European Union. It’s a celebration of peace, unity, diversity and cooperation across the continent. This year, EUNIC countries are thrilled to collaborate with European partners to bring Delhi a lively, culture-packed day, featuring food, art, films, and conversations that highlight the spirit of Europe.

Europe Day is not just about history or politics, it’s about people, cultures, and the rich diversity that makes Europe unique. It is a reminder that unity and understanding across borders matter more than ever. By celebrating together, we deepen the cultural ties between Europe and India and share stories that connect us all.
