Dear readers,

We have had since 2022 a Communication Strategy, which is now entering its implementation stages.

A lot of developments are taking place, from empowering our expression to understanding and responding to our stakeholders and partners in their "style".

In these times of polycrisis with low levels of social and economic predictability, we have to communicate the senses of our purpose and mission with enhanced clarity and empathy. And emotional intelligence, when needed.

We must play a new role in preparing for the 2024 European elections in order to consolidate democratic values and to make Europe stronger and more resilient against authoritarian menaces.

Also, in connection with the 65th anniversary of the EESC we will enhance our legacy and improve present and future EU legislation for EU social partners, civil society and EU citizens.

Until the summer developments are revealed, enjoy the break and be prepared for the future!

Aurel Laurenţiu Plosceanu
EESC vice-president for communication
