Pictures of various local events held in the Member States by national offices of the European Movement will be displayed in so called “local liveboxes” situated in the EESC.

On Saturday 9 May 2009, the EESC will open its doors to citizens and representatives of civil society all over Europe.
Among the different activities, music groups will sing in several languages and competitions, games and quizzes will entertain visitors. A rope bridge in the Atrium will represent the EESC’s role as a bridge between Europe and organised civil society, while children’s activities will link up with the role of the EESC and the June elections.
As a way of embodying the bridge between civil society and Europe, pictures of various local events held in the Member States by national offices of the European Movement will be displayed in so called "local liveboxes" situated in the EESC.
The Open Day will begin at 10 a.m. and end at 6 p.m.
