Of 1er January to June 30, 2022, France takes over the presidency of the Council of the European Union, with a programme defined around three ambitions: a more sovereign Europe, a new European model of growth and a human Europe, proud of its culture, confident in science and knowledge.
This French Presidency is accompanied by an ambitious, multidisciplinary cultural programme, highlighting the diversity and richness of European culture. More than a hundred events - music and theatre shows, exhibitions and presentations of heritage, symposia - will be held during these six months throughout Europe.
