20 Years of Lithuania in the EU
In 2024, the 1st of May marks the 20th anniversary of the 2004 enlargement, which expanded the European Union by ten countries, including the Republic of Lithuania. This enlargement was and remains an unprecedented event by its scale and long-lasting effects on peace, stability, and prosperity in Europe.
Youth for a United Europe
Raising European awareness among young people is a crucial goal, as they will shape the future of Europe. Young people should know the history of European integration, its values, and the benefits of being part of this community. Education about the Union helps build a sense of belonging to a larger community, which is the foundation of a stable and united Europe. In the context of the anniversary, it is also important to understand the challenges facing the European Union, such as climate change, migration, and digitalization. Youth should be aware of the role they can play in shaping European policy through active participation in civic and democratic initiatives. The celebrations of this anniversary are an excellent opportunity to emphasize the importance of solidarity, international cooperation, and joint actions for a better future. It is a time to look back at achievements and progress and to look forward with hope and commitment to building a strong, united, and aware Europe.
