The City of Hamburg is famous for its internationalisation and opening to the world's different cultures. It organises once a year the Long Evening of the Consulates in which the general public has the opportunity to get to know the city's cultural diversity through cultural activities organised by the multiple consular representations and international organisations based in Hamburg.
The EU-LAC Foundation will actively participate for the fifth consecutive year in this event, hosting the representation of some of its members and showcasing the cultural diversity of the EU, Latin America and the Caribbean through several cultural activities and degustation of local products.
