Which theme for the European Year 2009?
Aurélie Martin HidalgoHead of the European year to the Commission
1. Why does the European Commission organize an European Year and which theme was chosen for 2009?

This initiative aims at informing the European citizens of one of the major specific challenges of the European Union by organizing debates, conferences, good practices exchanges… For 2009, the objective is to promote creativity and innovation for the personal fulfilment and well-being for citizens but also to strengthen Europe's competitiveness and sustainable growth. The emphasis will be put on the development of creative and innovative potential in the life long learning process. Nevertheless the official launch of the Year should wait the adoption of the legislative decision. We can assume that it will be adopted because the reactions of the European Parliament and Council are positive. Information sessions have already been organised in regional offices in Brussels.
