European Day of Parks 2021 – Parks: The Next Generation
On the 24st of May 2021 we celebrated the European Day of Parks. This year, we looked at how Parks responded to challenges of the past year with “Parks: The Next Generation”. Special attention was given also to young people, as they are the literal next generation of nature conservationists.
The outcomes of the European Day of Parks 2021
Many Protected Areas across Europe organised events in and around the 24th of May. The European day of Parks (EDoP) aims at bringing people closer to Nature by offering a diversity of activities and events in Protected Areas across the EUROPARC Network. The events addressed people of all ages: children, youngsters, young adults, families and seniors. However, as there were still quite a few restrictions in place across Europe, the event was still partly celebrated online. For that special occasion, we asked our members to send us One-Minute Video Messages, to which many happily responded!
There was quite a buzz on social media and we were happy so many participated in the European Day of Parks in one way or another. To get an overview of all that was happening in the media, have a look at our Media and Outreach report:
We want to thank everyone that made this European Day of Parks a success!

About the European Day of Parks
Imagine a day when all Parks and Protected Areas come together across Europe, celebrate their successes and declare the value and benefits of Europe’s Protected Areas to communities, decision-makers and the wider public. Well, it is EUROPARC’s European Day of Parks!
Every year European Day of Parks takes place on and around 24th of May. It aims to bring people closer to nature and raise public awareness on the importance of the natural beauty preserved in Protected Areas and the importance of conservation and sustainable management of those places.
