The Circular Economy Stakeholder Conference (ECESP) 2022 and International Women's day were celebrated through different cultural expressions.

An extraordinary music performance was held on 2 March by the international percussion trio TrashBeatz, a band that makes music with trash. Their slogan "reduce-reuse-recycle your trash" perfectly matched the topic of this year's Circular Economy Stakeholder Conference. If you missed the show, you can still watch it online.

The EESC hosted an artistic performance entitled "…because I'm a woman?" by the talented young Polish artist Patrycja Alenkuć. The video featured a dance performance complemented by storytelling. The concept was focused on highlighting how resilient women are despite not being given enough support regardless of their age, class, the country they live in, their profession or other factors. "…because I'm a woman?" was one of the highlights of the EESC's Conference on Women in the Labour Market, with the video bringing the day's events to an artistic conclusion. (ck)
