EU Open Doors Day 2023: a warm welcome back to visitors

The house of organised civil society in Europe reopened its doors to visitors in the year of its 65th anniversary.

Following 3 years of online celebrations of Europe Day, the EESC once again welcomed visitors to its premises on Saturday 6 May for the annual Inter-institutional Open Day.

As the house of organised civil society in Europe and with 2023 being the EESC's 65th anniversary, the reopening of our doors was even more of a celebratory occasion.

Among the many things for visitors to enjoy from 10am-6pm were live music, digital quizzes, a wheel of fortune, a duck fishing activity, a caricaturist, a kids animation corner, a simulation speed voting activity with members, a speed chat with members and even the new EESC President who met and engaged with citizens and volunteers, and much more.

These activities, entertainment and warm hospitality of the members and more than 60 EESC staff who volunteered on the day saw almost 2,300 visitors come through the Committee's doors.
