On Tuesday 16 September, the EESC hosts the world premiere of the documentary 7 Days That Changed the Century, directed by Serbian filmmaker and public figure Boško Savković.

This powerful and thought-provoking film explores the beginning and the end of the First World War, tracing how decisions made in 1918 continue to shape the world today. Drawing on both historical and newly uncovered documents, Savković presents a compelling narrative that challenges viewers to reflect on the long-lasting legacy of the Great War.

Hosting this world premiere reflects the EESC’s continued commitment to promoting dialogue and democratic values, and highlighting European unity. It also aligns with the Committee’s efforts to support initiatives that encourage critical engagement with Europe’s history and its lessons for future generations. (ck)
