Cambridge English Language Assessment, departamento sem fins lucrativos da University

EUROPE DAY  -  9th May

Europe Day commemorates 9 May 1950, when the then French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman presented his proposal on the creation of an organised Europe, to help maintain peaceful relations between European countries. This proposal, known as the 'Schuman declaration', is considered to be the act that created what is now the European Union. 

“Borderless future”
