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 β€œPeople, 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.🌍 EPA is proud to contribute to the programme and will have a stand throughout the week. EPA is co-creating two sessions: - Educating citizenship for resilient societies (2 March) and- Digital transformation&Media Resilience (4 March)πŸ‘‰ Save the Date: March 2-5, 2026 🎯 Register Today: lnkd.in/eDrFQWJFhashtag#CivSocWeek hashtag#VoiceofParents hashtag#UnionOfResilience hashtag#FutureOfEurope hashtag#InclusiveFuture hashtag#EUCivilSociety hashtag#CivilDialogue hashtag#EESCLiaisonGroup hashtag#EESCforECI hashtag#nESC hashtag#EESCPartnership ...
