The EU's 50th anniversary celebrations around the world: EU Public diplomacy at work [5 MB]
European Commission delegations used the 50th anniversary to organize activities publicizing the European Union and its achievements: conferences, seminars and other events portrayed the EU as a model for regional cooperation respecting national diversity and committed to democracy, human rights, the rule of law and good governance; cultural and sport activities involved young people, the media, and the wider general public. Delegations worked closely with the EU Presidency and with Member State embassies and cultural institutes.
