May 9th will mark Europe Day, an important day for all Europeans to celebrate our shared heritage, cooperation, and the ongoing pursuit of unity.Join our ‘Culture Leads the Way’ event at H’ART Museum on how culture plays a leading role in shaping our shared future, a collaboration by DutchCulture | Creative Europe Desk NL, EIT Culture & Creativity, H’ART Museum and the European Cultural Foundation. The various sessions during the day explore how arts and culture can strengthen democracy for all Europeans.
As ECF we have dedicated a session to our Cultural Deal for Europe campaign. In that session our Head of Public Policy Isabelle Schwarz, Leanne Hoogwaerts, Europa Platform coordinator for Kunsten ‘92 and boardmember Culture Action Europe, and Mafalda Dâmaso, European University Institute and Erasmus University Rotterdam will touch on the questions how culture can position Europe as a soft power, and how culture helps connecting the local to the European.

In the early evening we welcome you at the event ‘Europe Up for Grabs? How to Reclaim a Continent?’ at SPUI25, co-organised by DutchCulture and the European Cultural Foundation, generously supported by the European Commission Representation in the Netherlands. The Europeans podcast will moderate a public conversation on the challenges to European togetherness and how we can collectively address them. Speakers Alberto Alemanno (founder of The Good Lobby ), awarded Dutch photographer Rob Hornstra (working on The Europeans, a portrait of modern Europe), Ukrainian artist Yuliia Elyas (co-curator of Ukrainian Decolonial Glossary), and journalist Gatool Katawazi will touch on what’s there to celebrate on May 9, explore if and how we may reclaim ownership of Europe, and whether that’s through storytelling, citizen engagement or the arts.

More of a night-owl? De Kiesmannen got you covered at their EuropaNacht: Shaky Grounds in Paradiso, a clubnight at the nexus of culture, ideas and music. As ECF we have invited The Europeans podcast to publicly interview Rob Hornstra (working on The Europeans, a portrait of modern Europe) and Ukrainian artist Yuliia Elyas (co-curator of Ukrainian Decolonial Glossary).
