Open Door Day
Every year, the Saeima hosts an open door day inviting anyone interested, and especially youths, to visit the parliament. On Open Door Day, visitors can view a thematic exposition, and tour the Main Building of the Saeima. Youths can obtain additional information about educational events and projects at the parliament.
The Saeima invites anyone interested, especially youths, to visit the parliament’s Open Door Day on 27 September and view an exposition about important anniversaries for Latvia.
Visitors of Open Door Day will be able to send a special postcard dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the Baltic Way to anywhere in Latvia free of charge. Everyone will have the opportunity to take a picture in the installation “Join the Baltic Way” symbolically becoming a part of the historic campaign and joining hands with the original participants to standing up for freedom and democratic values.
Guests of the parliament will learn about Latvia’s road to membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and about the benefits, which we enjoy on a daily basis as citizens of the European Union. The exhibitions have been created to mark the 20th anniversary of Latvia’s accession to the EU and NATO.
Guests of the Saeima will be able to see the parliamentary premises – the Plenary Chamber, the Voting Room, the Yellow Room and the Red Room, as well as the resplendent representation rooms. Visitors will also be able to learn about the parliament’s projects for youths: the young photographers’ competition “My Latvia. My responsibility”, the Youth Parliament and school programme “Meet the Saeima”.
The Main Building of the Saeima will be open to visitors from 10:00 until 18:00 on 27 September, and visitors are welcome to arrive individually or in groups. Due to the limited number of visitors that may be present in the building at any given time, preference will be given to those who book their visit in advance.
