El folleto «Dessine-moi…» (Dibújame) es el resultado de cuarenta y tres testimonios recabados de miembros del CESE de los veintisiete Estados miembros de la UE entre abril y septiembre de 2020. Con la frase «Dessine-moi…», extraída de la novela de Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince (El principito), pedimos a los miembros que nos hablaran de «lo invisible». A través de sus relatos, los miembros nos han hecho viajar por sus universos privados, ofreciéndonos un mosaico de paisajes, imágenes, colores y sonidos. Le invitamos a zambullirse en estas historias auténticas que son más importantes si cabe por haber sido vividas con tanta intensidad.
Damos las gracias a los miembros que han participado en la elaboración de este folleto:
