Every year in early May we celebrate peace and unity in Europe through Europe Day, to commemorate the signing of the ‘Schuman Declaration’. This year, on Saturday 6 May, the EU institutions invite you to a wide range of online and on-site activities across the EU Member States, as well as in the home of the EU institutions in Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg.

EDPB and EDPS will be present with a common booth, in the Safe Europe Village, at the European Commission ’s headquarters in Brussels – the Berlaymont building – from 10:00 to 18:00. Join us at our stand and take part in a variety of fun activities related to privacy and personal data protection!
