2023Joy of Europe - Set

In 1969, on the occasion of the World Children’s Day, the first international festival of children’s songs and dances “Joy of Europe” was held in Belgrade with the support of the city government, President Tito, UNICEF and the United Nations General Assembly. More than half a century has passed since then and over 20,000 children have visited Belgrade. From the beginning, the main pillar of the event has been the hosts – parents, who welcome boys and girls from Europe into their homes, offering our traditional hospitality. The main idea of the event was and remains getting to know each other and creating friendships, and children’s play is at the centre of all events.
