Let's (re)imagine and celebrate our European anthem together!
We're inviting you to remix Beethoven's Symphony, drawing inspiration from Friedrich Schiller's timeless poem. Let's celebrate the diverse artistic expressions and languages from across Europe, embracing the richness of our cultural heritage together. Join us in spreading joy through art!
Join us for the Ode2joy Challenge
In 2024, as we gear up for the European Parliament elections, we're also marking the 200th anniversary of Beethoven's iconic Ode to Joy. This masterpiece embodies the values that define our shared European identity: freedom, peace, and solidarity.
