Meeting seniors on Europe Day - 9 May 2012
In Europe Europe Day is an annual celebration of peace and unity in Europe. There are two separate designations of Europe Day: 5 May for the Council of Europe and 9 May for the European Union (EU).
For the EU, the day is also known as Schuman Day, commemorating the historical declaration by French foreign minister Robert Schuman.
The Council of Europe's day reflects its own establishment in 1949, while the European Union's day celebrates the day the EU's predecessor was proposed in 1950. Europe Day is one of a number of European symbols designed to foster unity among Europeans.
Slovak students met seniors in the streets of their hometown Levice and gave them the yellow roses the symbol of Europe Day. The EU gives the chances ans supports seniors to be active and have quality life during their old age.
