Dessine-moi... (Draw me...)

The "Dessine-moi... (Draw me...)" column is coming to an end. These final articles add to and enhance the collection of stories that have been shared with us since the start of the pandemic. These heartfelt accounts of this period of involuntary isolation have moved us and encouraged us to find beauty in others, give more thought to the meaning of life and be more aware of the importance of seizing the moment.

Thank you to the members who contributed to the final instalment of our series: Claudine Otto, Giulia Barbucci, Laure Batut, Bente Sorgenfrey, Karolina Dreszer-Smalec, Dilyana Slavova, Renate Heinisch, Janusz Pietkiewicz, Jože Smole, Martin Siecker and Arnaud Schwartz.

On behalf of the entire EESC info team, we would like to thank the 43 representatives of the 27 Member States who gave their time and provided written accounts to give readers the pleasure of finding out new things and the chance to immerse themselves in the authors' emotions and their thoughts on this difficult period we are living through.
