All over Europe, individualism, withdrawal into oneself and loneliness is on the rise. Everywhere social bonds are growing loose. Each resident is invited to make a simple gesture at the same time throughout Europe. To invite your neighbours to share a nice time around a buffet or a luncheon, enhances social cohesion and creates new solidarities.
It is a simple principle: Neighbours' Day is an event which occurs every year on the last Tuesday of May.Any city or town or social housing organization is welcome to participate in Neighbours' Day by promoting the event with the inhabitants using all the communication means at their disposal. It is then up to each resident or group of residents to organise their own party.
Through this exchange among residents, sharing experiences and good practices, this event gives to citizens the opportunity to interact and to join in the making of Europe, an ever closer and more human European community.
It enables its members to have a feeling of common membership.For more information, see our presentation brochure and download the registration form (for cities and social housing organizations ).
