(29 April 2016) – The European Commission launches today the first “Europe in My Region” campaign to encourage citizens to discover and learn more about EU-funded projects all around Europe.

Organised by Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional Policy with the support of Commission’s Representations and Managing Authorities, “Europe in My Region” will run from 29 April to 11 June in 23 EU countries involving over 1200 events with thousands of citizens expected to attend.
“Europe in My Region” is organised around four different initiatives: the EU Open Project Days, a treasure hunt, a photo competition and a blogging campaign. All these activities aim to encourage citizens to visit EU-funded projects while sharing images and experiences via social media.
