61 years after French Foreign Affairs Minister Robert Schuman’s speech, encouraging the creation of a joint organisation for French and German coal and steal, European network ZEPA shows that building Europe is indeed a fantastic day-to-day experience...and wishes you a happy European Day !
ZEPA is at full speed this year, between the development and presentation of the new shows from ZEPA’s two associate companies NoFit State Circus et Générik Vapeur, the ZEPA symposium in Brighton, the increase of cross border projects between partners from each side of the Channel, press conferences, etc. ZEPA is out there and communicates towards a wide range of audiences : for instance, as part of the European Day initiatives, Mathilde Vautier, ZEPA Coordinator and Astrid Maline, Joint Technical Secretarial Correspondant (JTS) for Interreg IV A France (Channel) - England presented ZEPA and the cross border cooperation programme to HNC students and Sixth-formers (European option) from Lycée Marcel Sembat in Sotteville-lès-Rouen.
