2017 EUROPE DAY CELEBRATIONS IN THE

REPUBLIC OF UGANDA

'Bringing out the 'E 'in 'U'! Inspiring Youth through Entrepreneurship, Education, Environment and Excellence."

The European Union Delegation to Uganda seeks to partner, for the very first time, with private companies in Uganda to mark the 2017 Europe Day Celebration. 2017 is a very special year as it marks the 60th Anniversary of the Treaties of Rome; a remarkable milestone in the European integration process. It also marks the 30th anniversary of Erasmus+, the European Union's flagship programme to support projects, partnerships, events and mobility in the areas of education, training youth and sport. This year, a special focus is on youth engagement across the globe, and thus we have identified a series of activities that seek to engage Uganda's youth in a meaningful and relevant way.

We welcome corporate partners who, in particular, can gain synergies from their CSR initiatives through some of the youth-led activities listed below. We are confident that this new private-public partnership approach will make this year's celebrations extra special and more importantly, more memorable and meaningful to the Youth of Uganda.

We look forward to your support and participation!
