ANKARA

The European Union Delegation in Ankara has organized a massive weekend program to jointly celebrate Europe Day and Mother’s Day, inviting citizens to a number of activities to mark the occasions, including musical concerts, a movie screening and the introduction of rich European cuisine at Ankara’s Cer Modern.

“This year, the EU has decided to merge May 9 Europe Day with Mother’s Day. We invite mothers, children and their fathers who would like to give a gift to their mothers to Cer Modern on May 7 and 8,” a press release issued by the delegation read.

Famous European chefs will actively join in an activity titled “Cook a meal today for your mum,” the release said, informing that the event will offer different opportunities for the children to enjoy their time on the weekend. Experiments on the science bus, listening to Hans Christian Andersen stories, watching cartoons and playing games will be among the activities children will find during the course of the celebrations.

The Austrian band Jetlag followed by the Tatavla Keyfi, a band that brings the bubbly sounds of the Balkans, will take the stage as part of the weekend activities. The delegation will provide free of charge transportation from numerous points around Ankara to Cer Modern, from Çayyolu, Bahçelievler, Atakule, Atatürk Boulevard and Ulus square.
