Europe Week is traditionally colored with free events, and it culminates on May 9, when we celebrate Europe Day. In 2015, it will be under the sign of food, which is increasingly becoming a link between the local and the global. If anyone, then the taste buds will come into their own, and of course there will be no shortage of workshops, lectures and exhibitions in Ljubljana and 11 other places in Slovenia, so that even those hungry for knowledge and not just food will be satisfied.
