In the months of May and June 2021, the Delegation of the European Union to the Philippines and the EU member-states’ embassies in the Philippines jointly organized a series of events highlighting the partnership, friendship and the shared cultural values between Europe and the Philippines, all under the banner of Viva Europa 2021: Sama-Sama Together.
As part of the monthly Jeudis Culturels (Cultural Thursdays), we invite you to relive the performances of Yumi Soprano at Lakbayin Natin Ang EU, Anne Gauthier Das Neves at Bersong EuroPinoy 2021, and Eric Soulard at the EuroPinoy Concert on Thursday, June 10, 2021 at 8:00 PM on the Facebook page of the Embassy of France to the Philippines.
