Experience, meet, talk & do
During the Maastricht Europe Days, everything will revolve around experiencing, meeting, discussing and participating, for three full days in the heart of the city. Everyone is welcome and almost all the events are freely accessible. Though you should check to see whether it’s necessary to reserve a seat or, in a few cases, buy a ticket.
From 2 December we get warmed up with a special pre-programme with the ‘Pop-Up Atelier Europa’: a glass house where young European designers design a Europe collection. And from 2 December on you can take a look at the best comic strips competing in the international Animate Europe competition.
Make your choice:
- Experience: exhibitions, movies and performances (red activities)
- Meet: networking, running tours and the ‘MED meeting point’ (blue activities)
- Talk: debates, dialogues and our podcast (yellow activities)
- Do: workshops (green activities)
