As part of the celebration of Europe Day, celebrated on 9 May every year, the EU Goodwill Ambassadors from Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya and Morocco have been invited to Belgium.
During their visit to Belgium, they will visit different European institutions and meet with senior officials of the European Commission. They will also participate in a cultural evening attended by some of the Young European Ambassadors (YEA) from Eastern countries. They will also give a message of peace to the world, with the participation of a renowned calligrapher, as part of the SALAM event which will take place in Brussels.
At the end of the #InTheirEyes regional campaign, organised between 2019 and 2020 by the European Commission, these young people were awarded the honorary title of European Union Goodwill Ambassadors in their respective countries. Since then, they have been working to promote the opportunities offered by the European Union in the region and to give hope to young people in the Southern Neighbourhood.
