First online marathon held on the Europe Day in Ukraine

Europe Day in Ukraine is an exciting holiday held in partnership with the EU Delegation to Ukraine, Kyiv City Administration, embassies and other distinguished guests. Every year in may this holiday gathers hundreds of participants in the center of Kyiv. 

But not this year.

Due to the quarantine limitations banning mass events, the Europe Day in Ukraine might not have taken place. But it is not the first time when MAINSTREAM Event Department faces difficulties and offers a solution — organization of an online marathon.

Our team has prepared a rather extensive streaming program: video stories about music, cooking and cultures of different European countries.
