Brīdī, kad par ES prezidentvalsti kļūst Portugāle, kas savu prioritāšu saraksta augšgalā izvirzījusi sociālo programmu, EESK iepazīstina ar virtuālu izstādi, kuras autore ir portugāļu māksliniece Maria Reis Rocha un kas godina cilvēciskās attiecības un solidaritāti.
Izstādē Hand in Hand var aplūkot virkni Maria Reis Rocha (https://www.mariareisrocha.com/) radītu attēlu un īsu videomateriālu, kas veltīti aktuāliem sociālajiem jautājumiem, tādiem kā garīgā veselība, sociālā līdzdalība un transformācija, kvalitatīva izglītība, universāla piekļuve veselības aprūpei, cīņa pret nabadzību un rasismu un bērnu tiesības.
Šie temati ir cieši saistīti ar Portugāles prezidentūras prioritātēm (izturētspējīga Eiropa, sociāla Eiropa, zaļa Eiropa, digitāla Eiropa un globāla Eiropa), kas sākas 2021. gada 1. janvārī.
Covid-19 pandēmijas dēļ izstāde – pirmreizējs kultūras pasākums – tiek rīkota digitālā formā un būs apskatāma no 2021. gada 15. janvāra līdz 15. februārim šādā adresē: (https://www.eesc.europa.eu/lv/agenda/our-events/events/hand-hand ) (ck)
