Happy Neighbours Day! Today we celebrate the spirit of unity and cooperation that brings us closer to our neighbours.
Celebrating Neighbours' Day: let’s #GetToKnowInterreg better!
- 26 May 2023

For the Interreg community, every day is Neighbours' Day! For 33 years, Interreg has been at the forefront of promoting cross-border cooperation, with a tangible impact on our daily lives. By breaking down barriers and facilitating cooperation, Interreg has truly transformed the way we interact with our neighbouring regions.
Since 1990, Interreg has supported more than 100 programmes aimed at promoting cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation. These programmes have run thousands of projects in areas as diverse as education, environment, research and cultural exchanges. Whether improving infrastructure, promoting sustainable development, enhancing cultural understanding or boosting skills and economic growth, these projects have benefited millions of citizens across Europe.
Interreg's commitment to cooperation knows no bounds as it continues to create opportunities for regions to come together, share expertise and tackle common challenges.
To find out more about the incredible work going on in your region, we invite you to watch our #GetToKnowInterreg video series, available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOga7xzPa5G1AiA3DqSDKXI4SQ7bjROMI
Through the testimonies of the programmes’ collaborators and DG REGIO’ desk officers, you can learn more about the positive impact of the programmes on the daily lives of every European citizen, and the plans for the programming period 2021-2027.
This Neighbours Day, let's remember that our common future depends on fostering strong relationships and working hand in hand with our neighbours.
Happy #NeighboursDay from Interreg, where cooperation truly matters!
