Happy Europe Month 2024

The Collectivité of Saint-Martin has decided to promote the Pretty Month of Europe by broadcasting mini-films on project leaders financed by the EU (broadcast the week of May 13), by creating a sidewalk microphone on the European theme (broadcast the week of May 13) and by offering a quiz on Europe and how it works (broadcast Tuesday May 7 on our Facebook and Instagram pages.)

Don't hesitate to share the quiz and why not play to test your knowledge. Goodies are to be won for the 5 best answers.

Traditionally, the month of May is the month of celebration of the European Union through the event entitled “Nice Month of Europe”. During this period, the territories celebrate Europe by organizing actions aimed at raising awareness among the general public of the history and functioning of Europe, and promoting its many assets in the territories.

Communities, town halls, but also associations and project leaders, organize events to raise citizens' awareness of the actions of the European Union in the territories.

These events can take different forms ranging from sports demonstrations to discover projects supported by the European Union, twinning between cities, exhibitions, school activities, conferences or even debates on European themes.

This year is special since the European elections take place on June 9 (June 8 in the overseas territories and French consular posts located on the American continent). This context is an opportunity to recall the importance of the actions of the European Commission and the future challenges for the Union.

The Collectivité of Saint-Martin has been part of this approach for several years and has chosen, this year, to offer you a Quiz with the aim of better understanding Europe and how it works.
