European Year
Since 1983, the EU has chosen a theme of action each year to educate the widest possible audience and to attract the attention of governments of Member States on a particular issue in order to change attitudes or behaviour. The diverse topics are of general interest to the European institutions and Member States, and are usually subjects of major concern. Decided by the European authorities, European Years are an awareness campaign both at the European and national level. The topics are chosen several years in advance and the European Commissions is responsible for their implementation. After celebrating the European Year of Creativity and Innovation in 2009, the European Union has proclaimed 2010 as the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion, while 2011 was the European Year for Volunteering.. > For more information on the 2011 European Year of Volunteering List of European Years since 19832011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2001 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1990 1989 1988 1987 1986 1985 1984 1983 Volunteering Combating Poverty and Exclusion Creativity and Innovation Intercultural Dialogue Equal Opportunites for All Worker's Mobility Citizenship through Education Education through Sport People with Disabilities Languages Action to Combat Violence Against Women Local and Regional Democracy Against Racism and Xenophobia Lifelong Learning Road Safety and Young Drivers Nutrition and Health Older People and Safety at Work Health and Safety at Work Tourism Information on Cancer Cinema and Television Environment Road Safety Music A People's Europe SMEs and the Craft Industry | Photo of the monthEuropean diary
