    An exhibition on the 60th anniversary of Regulation 1/1958

    This exhibition travels back in time to 1958, to the first legal act of the EEC/EU, to highlight its historical significance.

    Regulation 1/1958 has played a key role in building the EU in that it allows work to be carried out in each of the Member States' languages. In doing so it strengthens the participation of civil society and boosts the EU's democratic legitimacy.

    Staying creative after retirement

    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.
