Those areas without local elections may find this of particular interest. We have been contacted by the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats Group on the Committee of the Regions as they are encouraging councils to mark Europe Day which takes place every year on 9 May.
Historically it has only really been celebrated by the EU Institutions with an Open Doors Day. But ALDE-CoR is keen to encourage liberal leaders and local activists all around Europe involved and turn it into an annual citizens event.
This can of course also tie in nicely with the party’s “Exit From Brexit” campaign.
Please visit www.celebrateeuropeday.eu where you will find a list of suggestions of what could be done. They have stressed that this is an open initiative and everyone is free to do as much or as little as they want and in whatever format they wish.
