To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration, the Historical Archives of the European Union 

has prepared a multi-lingual exhibition “Europe and Europeans 1950>2020: 70th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration”.

The exhibition aims at raising awareness of the importance of the Schuman Declaration in European integration history, 

stimulating reflection on its relevance in today’s Europe, and encouraging debate on the history of the European Union (EU).

The physical inauguration at the HAEU and in numerous hosting organisations was originally planned on Europe Day 2020. 

Due to the Covid-19 crisis, its inauguration was postponed to later dates, once the HAEU and the hosts will have fully resumed their operations.

Against this background, the HAEU developed a dedicated online platform at https://schuman70.eui.eu/ now available 

to enjoy the exhibition digitally anywhere in the world. The visitor is invited to take a journey through European 

history via two distinct but interconnecting paths, enriched by different QR codes linked to various audio and video materials. 

EUROPE

The first path aims to show how the principles underlying the Schuman Declaration are reflected 

in the European integration process. Guided by key sentences of the Declaration, the visitor experiences 

important political, economic, social and cultural developments of the last 70 years in Europe. 

Through a selection of audiovisual materials and documents, the exhibition highlights important steps 

in the European integration process and in the development of common policies at the European level.

EUROPEANS

The second path sets out to stimulate reflection on what it means to be European through a dialogue 

between past and present. The visitor discovers different figures, both men and women, who played 

a role in the diffusion of European ideas and in the development of common policies. Furthermore, 

the exhibition sheds light on the perception of Europe by its citizens, and allows for reflections about 

the meaning of being European.
