The #schengenisalive initiative aims at promoting the European agreement of free border crossings and strengthening international cooperation.
Furthermore, locals hope to draw more tourists to the vine-making village in the future. The European Museum Schengen, which focuses on the history of origins of the EU, is open every day.
The Schengen agreement was signed 36 years ago. Nevertheless, in 2020, new border closures and controls put the European thought in jeopardy. Cross-border commuters once more had to fear not being allowed to pass due to the corona crisis.
