THE EUROPEAN Union Delegation will hold its virtual edition of the annual cultural festival ‘Lakbayin Natin ang EU’ which focuses on ‘children for friendship’.

EU Ambassador Luc Véron said that since 2008, the delegation has provided opportunities for Filipino children to learn European songs, games, stories, music and arts and crafts.

“Together with the EU member-states’ embassies and cultural institutes, the delegation has ensured to create a unique and enjoyable cultural experience for Pinoy kids,” the ambassador said.

Lakbayin Natin is part of the ongoing ‘Viva Europa‘.  It will feature a visual tapestry of European culture and arts from the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Austria, Poland, and the Philippine-Italian Association.

Because of the pandemic, the event this year will be held online.

The festival will also display winning artworks in the EU Delegation’s Art Contest.

Filipino preschool to middle-school students were asked to express the meaning of friendship through art and the way they can promote it between Filipinos and Europeans.
