Bilston College UK Celebrates Unity 9th May 2026: Our Europe Day Event Was a Resounding Success!

Our Europe Day celebration on May 9th 2026 was a fantastic success, bringing the community together to celebrate peace and unity at Bilston College UK. The atmosphere was vibrant as attendees explored a Cultural Showcase with displays representing different European countries and participated in a lively EU quiz. Highlights included a Language Corner offering simple phrase workshops, and the popular Food & Tasting session, where everyone sampled French pastries, Italian pizza, and Spanish tapas. The day successfully promoted the values of European cooperation and active democratic engagement.—–What is EPAS?
