Fifth Annual European Union Open House, Saturday,
May 7, 2011, 10 AM to 4 PM
Mark your calendars NOW for the 5th Annual EU Embassies' Open House: Saturday, May 7, 2011, 10 AM - 4 PM.
Some 96,000 visits in total were paid to all of the European Union Embassies in Washington, DC, on May 8, 2010, for a day of family fun, food and culture. Free shuttle buses with two routes dropped off visitors at various Embassies. The 2010 event highlighted the theme GREEN EUROPE: GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY AND THE ENVIRONMENT. We wanted to show, through our own experience, that it is possible to tackle climate change, grow a clean energy economy of the future and become world leaders in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20% by 2020. Our policies have improved EU energy security and have created new green jobs while fulfilling our social and environmental responsibility. VIEW THE COMPLETE 2010 OPEN HOUSE VIDEO HERE.
