EU DELEGATION RWANDA

As part of Europe Day celebrations, the EU Delegation organised the 5^th edition of its annual European Street Fair together with Member States, at the Imbuga City walk (Car Free Zone) in Kigali. The event attracted thousands of people and increased awareness about role of the European Union and EU Member States in Rwanda as well as about Europe in general. It also provides an opportunity for the EU and Member States to engage with the Rwandan public, displaying some of the main achievements in our cooperation with the Republic of Rwanda. The event included activities for children and adults and created a platform for Rwandan creatives to display their talents.
