Dé Máirt, an 17 Meán Fómhair, d’óstáil CESE léiriú den scannán The Teachers' Lounge, buaiteoir Ghradam LUX — Gradam Scannánaíochta Lucht Féachana na hEorpa.
Leis an stiúrthóir Gearmánach İlker Çatak, fiosraítear sa scannán na dúshláin a bhíonn ag múinteoir agus tugtar aghaidh ar shaincheisteanna níos leithne laistigh den chóras oideachais ag an am céanna. Tar éis an léirithe, ghlac an lucht freastail páirt i ndíospóireacht a rinne Laurențiu Plosceanu, Leas-Uachtarán ar CESE atá freagrach as an gCumarsáid, a mhodhnú. Sa phlé fuarthas léargas ó na cainteoirí Jan Wilker agus Tatjana Babrauskienė, a rinne plé ar théamaí an scannáin agus ar an tábhacht a bhaineann leo i ndáil le saincheisteanna sóisialta reatha.
Bhí an léiriú sin mar chuid de shraith a d’eagraigh CESE i gcomhar le Ghradam LUX — Gradam Scannánaíochta Lucht Féachana na hEorpa de chuid Pharlaimint na hEorpa, ina leagtar béim ar rannpháirtíocht CESE agus ar an ról atá aige maidir leis an idirphlé ar ábhair shóisialta ríthábhachtacha a chur chun cinn agus a chothú.
