The European Cooperation Day is an event dedicated to promoting territorial cooperation in Europe. It highlights positive results of projects implemented throughout different regions and different countries. The European Cooperation Day takes place as a local event in which the community can see first-hand how cooperating across borders improves life in and around Europe.
The European Cooperation Day is organized every year around 21 September when hundreds of cross-border celebrations are organized by Interreg programmes both in EU and neighbouring countries, with the joint idea to share borders and bring our neighbours together.
The Managing Authority and Joint Secretariat facilitate Programmes’s celebration of the European Cooperation Days every year. So far we organized European Cooperation Day’s in Skradin (HR), Šibenik (HR) and Sombor (RS). Scroll down for more information on past celebrations.
More info on the European Cooperation Day initiative can be found on the website www.ecday.eu.
Managing Authority of the Interreg IPA Cross-border Cooperation Programme Croatia – Serbia 2014-2020, in cooperation with National Authorities, Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds of the Republic of Croatia and Ministry for European Integration of the Republic of Serbia, organized this year’s EC Day celebration in Nature Park Papuk under the slogan „Youth in cooperation“. Following this year’s theme, through joint play and education, European Cooperation Day 2022 was marked on 6 October with students from Croatia and Serbia.
In the second part of the day, the participants visited the House of the Pannonian Sea and got to know the history of that dried up sea through the stories of life in the Miocene recorded in the rocks of Papuk. The tour began with an introductory presentation about the life on our planet, fossils and how they are preserved, with special focus on the living world of the Pannonian Sea. The presentation ended with a game in the sand of the Pannonian Sea coast, on the interactive floor of the hall.
After the educational part inside, the students had the opportunity to test their knowledge outside through a labyrinth of yes/no questions, which was accompanied by interesting sculptures and explanations on educational panels.
The EC Day celebration ended in the Adrenaline Park Duboka, where children and Programme representatives had the opportunity to spend time in a fun and active way in untouched nature of one of the most beautiful nature parks in Europe.
Why this kind of program for EC Day?
By organizing an educative tour in Geo Info Center and the House of the Pannonian Sea, we wanted to include young people in the celebration, to show them the possibilities that European Union projects offer and interest them in future careers related to EU/Interreg projects. Also, by spending an active and fun day in the Adrenaline Park Duboka the children got a chance to hang out and get to know their colleagues across the border which entails true cross-border cooperation.
