Europe’s cultural diversity in numbers

The EU’s motto is “United in diversity” – and the culture category shows why. The Union has 24 official languages, three alphabets (Latin, Greek and Cyrillic) and countless regional and minority languages. Every EU citizen has the right to write to the EU institutions in any official language and receive an answer in the same language.

Recurring themes in this category include:

European Capitals of Culture: since 1985, cities across Europe carry this title for a year and showcase their heritage.
Erasmus+: the exchange programme that has let millions of students study in another European country.
Creative Europe: the EU programme supporting film, music, literature and the arts.
European symbols: the circle of twelve stars, the anthem based on Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”, and Europe Day on 9 May.
UNESCO World Heritage: EU countries are home to some of the highest numbers of World Heritage sites anywhere.

From food traditions to famous composers and painters, the EU culture quiz covers the lighter side of European knowledge – ideal if you want a break from treaties and institutions.
