United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland United Kingdom

Please note that all National Relays fulfill this role on a purely voluntary basis and have a very limited amount of materials available for distribution. Where possible, we make promotional materials (such as the posters, stickers and logo) available in high-resolution formats which are suitable  for printing (see the Downloads page).

We would ask that you only contact the National Relay within your country and not those in the other parts of the UK. Even if your National  Relay no longer has materials, the other Relays will not be able to respond to  requests from other parts of the UK. Many thanks for your understanding.

The role of a national relay

To coordinate the activities organised at national level, the Council of Europe asks participating countries to nominate National Relay Persons for the EDL. The function of a Relay is to act as a multiplier for organisations, schools and associations, circulating:

  • information communicated by the Council of Europe (for example the press release of the Council on the Day, which the Relays are invited to translate into national/local languages, updates on the website)
  • promotional materials - posters, stickers etc. provided by the Council of Europe every year in significant quantities for event organisers

In so far as possible, the Relay is encouraged to carry out promotion for the Day at national/regional level and through the press, in particular highlighting the address of the EDL website, and reporting to the Council on the celebration of the Day within the country.

Some Relays have established a national EDL website in view of the number of events organised in their country.

EDL Relays work on a voluntary basis and the Council of Europe acknowledges their important contribution with gratitude.
 

Countries currently without National Relays:

As illustrated by the map, certain member states do not have a National Relay at the present time.

The Relay can be an individual or an existing structure, who ideally is already in contact with the Council of Europe - although this is not essential. 

Any structures (centres/associations/administrative units etc.) who would be willing to act as Relays between their countries and the Council of Europe are invited to contact either their national authorities or the Council of Europe.

 

Order form for materials

In case no National Relay exists  for your country or they no longer have supplies,  it is possible to use  the following form  to  order a limited number of  promotional articles for your EDL event.
