“United in Diversity” was adopted as the motto of the European Union in 2000 following a continent-wide contest and has been translated into all 24 official languages of the EU.
According to the European Commission: “The motto means that, via the EU, Europeans are united in working together for peace and prosperity, and that the many different cultures, traditions and languages in Europe are a positive asset for the continent.” – and Europe in a Day certainly agrees!
Take a look at how to say United in Diversity in 50 languages spoken around Europe and beyond below. Many of these languages are spoken in places that are not part of the EU – but it’s still a sentiment worth sharing!
