The national tour “Plazas de Europa” arrives in Ayamonte (Huelva). The European Commission invites everyone to enjoy a very special afternoon at Plaza de la Laguna (Ayamonte) on 24 October, starting at 17:00 (Spain) / 16:00 (Portugal).
The European Commission invites all citizens to take part and discover how Europe has changed our lives and continues to build bridges across the border — because “Europe is all of us.”
The event will feature beneficiary entities from POCTEP projects, presenting the following initiatives:
- EUROGUADIANA_2020 – European laboratory for cross-border governance: Eurocity of Guadiana 2020
- FIREPOCTEP+, Resilient landscapes against large forest fires: response, interoperability, and operational and social capacity building in the face of climate change
- GEOTRANS – Transnational cross-border geopark Huelva–Alentejo
- EXPORTPLUS: Cross-border system supporting the internationalisation of artisanal agri-food SMEs in Spain and Portugal
🗣️ The event will be attended by representatives from the European Commission in Spain and Portugal, mayors from the Eurocity, and leaders of projects that are transforming our border region — from wildfire prevention to SME development and sustainable growth.
💬 Attendees will also enjoy a Citizens’ Dialogue celebrating 40 years of the European Union along “La Raya” — an open, participatory, and engaging space to share experiences, challenges, and visions for the future.
🍷 And to end on a delicious note… a Euro-Aperitif featuring local DOP and IGP products! A perfect opportunity to chat informally with the speakers.
