To commemorate the International Day of Women (8 March 2019), the EESC is organising on Wednesday 6 March the screening of the documentary "The Man who mends women" on the life and work of Dr Denis Mukwege.
In 2018, Dr Denis Mukwege, together with Nadia Murad, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict".
Two exhibitions will be on display simultaneously, one to present the artwork (paintings and drawings) of Eva Nevická from Slovakia, who gives meaning to the years that follow retirement through creativity, and a second one, a touring temporary exhibition, entitled "What's Old Anyway?", organised by the German Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.
The idea for such a cultural event has been developed around the concept of lifelong learning, inspired by the thinking that older people can instil good examples in future generations: an opportunity for inspiration based on people who never quit life and are drawn into creativity, even after their working lives/labour market productive years have come to an end.
The EESC is organising a photo exhibition to highlight its work done on issues that concern people with disabilities.
The exhibition "Together for Inclusion" is a joint event with the International Disability and Development Consortium (IDDC).
It presents the ten winning photos from the photo competition launched during European Disability and Development Week 2017.
The exhibition will be held from 3 to 31 December 2018 in foyer 6, with the official launch planned for 18 December in conjunction with the SOC section meeting.
"Together for Inclusion" is part of European Disability and Development Week 2018 and another one of the EESC's cultural events held during the 2018 European Year of Cultural Heritage.
This is a cultural initiative organized in cooperation with the Joint Committee for Equal Opportunities (COPEC).
This exhibition features a series of oil canvas paintings by the artist Bruce Thurman. Taking the form of an "illustrated cookbook", the exhibition offers viewers a journey through the different recipes of Europe and its purpose is to showcase Europe's different food cultures, on the one hand, and the diversity and similarity found in European food culture, on the other.
The study was prepared by a Senior Policy Advisor from TUAC (the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD) for Group II.
It sets out to outline the different dimensions of the digital transformation on sectors and business models and hence on the quantity and quality of work.
This event will take place in the form of a panel workshop, on 26 November 2018, in meeting room JDE 62, in the JDE building.
The author of the study has been invited to deliver the keynote speech and will present their work and debate with the participants.

This cultural event is organised in cooperation with the Association Giuliani nel Mondo of Trieste and Brussels and with the support of the Brussels Liaison Office of the Autonomous Region Friuli Venezia Giulia.
The exhibition aims to make known the emblematic artistic itinerary of Edvard Stepančič, a leading exponent of the constructivism art movement.
This year (2018) we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the entry into force of Regulation 1/1958 which determined the languages to be used by the EU institutions and set out the language arrangements applicable to them.
Regulation 1/1958 has played a fundamental role in the European construction, in that it allows work to be carried in each of the Member States' languages, thereby strengthening the participation of civil society as well as the EU's democratic legitimacy.
In this context the exhibition is a tribute to a multilingual Europe, while also reinforcing its values and recognising the contribution it has made.
The exhibition is being organised in cooperation with the Directorate for Translation.
Austria Contemporary is the title of the exhibition that will be displayed at the EESC from July 11th until September 14th 2018 in the context of the Austrian Presidency of the Council of the EU.
The exhibition is a representative selection of works of contemporary Austrian art; all exhibited pieces are from the Austrian Federal Government's Artothek. Taken as a whole, they provide an exemplary overview of artistic work in Austria.
This event is organised in cooperation with La Monnaie Opera House as part of the European Year of Cultural Heritage.
A unique performance including music, dance and theatre, underlining the role of culture for the present and future of Europe.
Within the framework of the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the EU, the European Economic and Social Committee is hosting the exhibition "The Cyrillic Alphabet - The New Alphabet in the European Union"
