Join us from 2 to 5 March and be part of the conversation shaping Europe’s democratic and social future.
This years' Civil Society Week organised by the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is scheduled to take place from 2–5 March 2026 in Brussels, Belgium (hybrid), with the theme of the year dubbed “People, Democracy, Resilience – Our Future!. This year’s Civil Society Week comes at a pivotal moment for Europe. Rising inequalities, democratic backsliding, technological disruption, and geopolitical instability are testing Europe’s social and democratic foundations. Civil society, free media, and human rights defenders face increasing pressure from disinformation and restrictive laws, as well as underfunding and declining public trust. The week will bring together civil society organisations, grassroots actors, youth, journalists, and EU policymakers, including voices from candidate countries, to renew Europe’s democratic and social promise.![]()
Each day will focus on one of the identified priorities, offering a programme of high-level debates alongside participatory sessions and interactive workshops.![]()
