News archive - European Cooperation Day

For the first time, European Cooperation Day will be celebrated this year on 21 September 2012. The event is intended to recognise how European Territorial Cooperation helps to bring Europeans closer together, share ideas across borders and find solutions to common problems.

More than 69 European Territorial Cooperation Programmes and external cooperation programmes (Instrument for Pre-Accession and the European Neighbourhood Partnership Instrument) will be participating in the European Cooperation Day.

Almost 40 countries will come together to celebrate cooperation and bridge-building between local communities across borders. Public events will take place during the week of 17-23 September all over Europe. Besides the fun, this will also be an opportunity to discover all the improvements local initiatives have brought to all aspects of your daily life; from creating jobs, to improving health care services, and the protection of environment, transport or energy.
