Hur bör en hållbar återhämtning från covid-19 se ut i Europa? Vilka viktiga styrkor bör EU dra nytta av för att säkerställa en ljus framtid för sina medborgare? Dessa frågor kommer att stå i centrum vid EESK:s evenemang Det civila samhällets dagar 2021, som kommer att hållas online den 1–5 mars.
Det organiserade civila samhället har under hela pandemin spelat en viktig roll i hanteringen av de otaliga utmaningar som covid-19 gett upphov till, bland annat har man gett stöd till de offentliga myndigheterna, som har kämpat med enorma svårigheter.
