60 years of the Élysée Treaty
On the road for the European soul
On January 22, 2023, the Élysée Treaty will look back on its 60th anniversary as a Franco-German friendship treaty. Against the backdrop of a trembling world order, cross-border cultural work as a friendship and peacemaker is coming into focus more than ever. European integration in the Greater Region needs the renewal of a vision of the future that reaches people in their hearts. “Europe should get itself a soul” once demanded Robert Schuhmann as one of the founding fathers of the European Union. The European model project “Starry Path/Chemin des étoiles” stands for this soulful vision. Embark on the paths under the stars of Europe.
