May
Europe Day, celebrated on May 9th, is like a birthday for peace in Europe. It's a special day when countries in Europe remember when they decided to work together instead of fighting. This idea of unity started in 1950 with a speech by a man named Robert Schuman. He thought countries should help each other with jobs, trade, and keeping peace. On Europe Day, people think about how different countries can be friends and solve problems together, just like kids who get along to make fun playtimes. It's about teamwork and making Europe a better place for everyone.
