30/04/2013 (Agence Europe) - Open Days on 4 May. To mark the Festival of Europe, the European Parliament and other EU institutions will open their doors on Saturday 4 May 2013 in Brussels and Luxembourg. The festival continues on 19 May in Strasbourg. Discover the European quarter, how Members of the European Parliament work, debate and decide together. 2013 has been officially named the “European Year of Citizens”. Citizens are not always aware that European citizenship gives them rights. These include the right to move and live freely in another EU member state, the right to vote and stand as a candidate in European elections, and the right to petition the European Parliament. The children's village on the European Parliament esplanade will host a series of activities, craft projects and interactive games, so that children can have fun learning about Europe. (LC/transl.fl)
