  Envision Cyprus - Memories Alive Art work by Efi Savvides and Kyriaki Costa
  Cultural Event - Brussels
  The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is delighted to host the exhibition Envision Cyprus to celebrate the Cyprus presidency of the Council of the European Union in the second half of 2012.
  
  Efi Savvides and Kyriaki Costa, two female artists, give us a taste of life as they experience it in Cyprus today and present it through their artistic work. Their modes of expression differ, but both show strong ties to traditions people have themselves created or as they experience them today. Both also go one step further as they see these traditions as part of the memory of a society – an element from the past that remains alive today.

  Amongst and Active Film portraits of ageless experiences
  Cultural Event - Brussels, EESC building Jacques Delors, Atrium 6, Belgium
  2012 is the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations.
  Sounds good, but what does this really mean?
  Going to the gym on a regular basis and staying healthy, seeing your children and grandchildren
  frequently in order to link the generations?
  Getting older is not the same today as it was for the generations of our parents and grandparents.
  Today we are facing new challenges caused by technological, medical and societal changes in the past decades. Not only will we have an increasing number of elderly people, but it is already a fact that we remain more active and live longer. This again has an impact on today’s society. People would like to live as long as possible independently at home – we want to be amongst others and be an active part of everyday life.
