Connecting Europeans - 14.07.2016

European towns and cities, raise your flag on 28 July!
The city of Joensuu, Finland, has launched a campaign – the Joensuu calling – to invite all European towns and cities to display the European flag at their town halls on 28 July. The goal of the campaign is to connect and show unity between European towns and cities, and to promote the value of being European.

The campaign has just started and European towns and cities from several countries have already said they would participate – the European flag will fly over town halls in Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Portugal and beyond.

How can your town or city take part?

Simply announce your town or city’s participation here, and display the European flag on Thursday 28 July at your town hall. Take a picture, and share it on social media using the hashtag #WeAreEurope.

Answer the Joensuu calling – raise the European flag at your town hall on 28 July!

Joensuu is a Finnish city just 30 km from the Russian border. This will be the first time that the town hall will be showing a European flag.
