Welcoming visitors groups at the European Economic and Social Committee
Introduction
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is happy to welcome visitors from all over the world and explain them its role and activities.
Many of our visitors are members of civil society organisations or students specialising in EU affairs. We are particularly pleased to meet visitors from the new EU Member States.
Every visitors group is welcomed by a member of our team and by a speaker, who explains the structure and activities of the EESC and its role in the decision-making process of the European Union. The presentation is interactive and followed by an exchange of views with the participants.
