We could think of no more fitting way to mark this special day than with the words of Ursula Hirschmann.

The courage of her convictions helped make Europe what it is today.

#EuropeDay | #TheFutureIsYours

In Europe, the memory of our past has always framed our future.

And that is all the more important at a time when the unthinkable has returned to our Continent.

#EuropeDay | #TheFutureIsYours

The Conference on the Future of Europe has spoken clearly.

Through 49 proposals and more than 300 measures citizens have weaved and crafted a vision of a Europe that delivers on what matters most.

#EuropeDay | #TheFutureIsYours

Promises of peace and prosperity, fairness and progress.

Of a Europe that is social and sustainable.

That is caring and daring.

Linda, a young mother, speaking about the future of Europe while holding her baby born halfway through the conference.

An image far more powerful than any military parade in the streets of Russia.

#EuropeDay | #TheFutureIsYours

Europe is a dream.
A dream that always was.
A dream born from tragedy.

But today that dream shines bright not only here in Strasbourg. It shines in the eyes of all those young Ukrainians who have found a refuge in Europe.
