Sharing borders, growing closer!

Where could you find a horse racing a tractor, people swimming from one country to another, and a concert in a cave underneath a national border?

At one of the many events celebrating European Cooperation Day during the week of 21 September 2012!
The campaign highlighted the role of cooperation across borders in the European Union and with its neighbours – a celebration of all the benefits European Territorial Cooperation brings to people across Europe. European Cooperation Day was celebrated through over 280 local events, brought to you by 72 programmes in almost 40 countries. It was an opportunity to discover all the improvements local cooperation initiatives have brought to various aspects of your daily life; from creating jobs, to improving health care services, transport, energy and environmental protection.
The map below shows all the events that took place in 2012.

Do not miss the next edition on 21 September 2013 and surrounding days!
We hope you will take part to the fun and welcome you to learn more about European Territorial Cooperation by contacting any programme near you.
