Bringing Europe closer to its citizens
The European Documentation Center (EDC) is a lively space dedicated to learning about the European Union. Its mission is to make Europe tangible and accessible to everyone—citizens, students, teachers, and local associations.
A lively and interactive space
Each visit gives you the opportunity to ask questions about Europe and understand its direct impact on your daily life.
At the EDC, you can:
- Explore official EU publications
- Access digital resources
- Participate in interactive workshops
- Obtain teaching materials
“The EDC is a real bridge between citizens and Europe. Come and find out more, ask questions, and take part in activities.” – Carlos Terán

The head of the Differdange EDC
Carlos Terán is an architect, urban planner, and linguist with extensive experience in Europe. He has also worked at the European Commission, which has allowed him to become familiar with European Union programs and initiatives, including those related to the EACEA (Education, Audiovisual, and Culture Executive Agency), such as Erasmus+.
Today, he is delighted to assist and support visitors in discovering the opportunities offered by Europe, be it for citizens, students, or teachers.
A polyglot, Carlos is enthusiastic about welcoming and interacting with people in six different languages, while continuing to learn Luxembourgish.
“The EDC is a bridge between citizens and Europe. My goal is to make European information accessible and tangible for everyone, and to help everyone discover the European Union.”
