International Gathering of children of Europe - Joy of Europe

Friendship, mutual understanding, respect, children’s art, dance and song – these are all part of the Joy of Europe, a traditional annual gathering of European children aged from 7 to 15. In 1968 Children’s Cultural Center Belgrade launched an initiative to set up an international children’s gathering to celebrate International Child’s Day. Each October, Belgrade families welcome hundreds of children from all over Europe, who display their customs and skills in city squares, streets and venues.
