Eurocities calls for a minute of silence
One year after the start of the corona pandemic, the city network Eurocities invites everyone to a European minute of silence. The joint commemoration takes place on Wednesday, 24 March, at 12h noon CET.
“Europe needs a joint moment of reflection,” said Eurocities President and Mayor of Florence Dario Nardella. “Let us pause for a minute to mourn the dead, to honour those suffering from the consequences of the pandemic, and to reflect on our own situation – to take a breath in the hectic everyday struggle we all experience.”
As events are not possible at the moment, everyone can observe this minute of silence for themselves. To support a shared experience, Eurocities offers a video live stream with Dario Nardella: “I invite everyone to join and to be silent together for a moment, to commemorate, and to find new strength together.”
Eurocities is a network of 198 European cities from 38 countries, representing 130 million people.
