Europe, our home

For more than two decades, el Círculo de Bellas Artes It has played a key role as a space for meeting, reflection and cultural dialogue in Europe. Just like Casa EuropaOur aim is to broaden the debate on European identity, culture, and values ​​beyond the academic and political spheres, bringing it directly to the public. We believe that culture should act as a bridge and a refuge in times of uncertainty, strengthening social cohesion and promoting the diversity of voices and narratives that shape Europe.

To mark Europe Day—celebrated on May 9 to commemorate the Schuman Declaration and the beginning of the common European project—we have prepared a special program that will run throughout the month. In the current context, where authoritarian, identity-based, and ultranationalist tendencies, both internal and external, threaten European unity and values, we will hold demonstrations, presentations, and meetings to advocate for a democratic, diverse, and open Europe.

Through this series of activities, we want to reinforce our commitment to the founding principles of the European Union and offer a space for dialogue, critical thinking and cultural action in the face of the challenges of the present.
