Quizzes, competitions, live debates with European capitals and more await you at the Open Doors event in the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC)

On Saturday 9 May 2009, the EESC will open its doors to citizens and representatives of civil society all over Europe. This year’s Open Day will be focussed on the 2009 European elections and the 5th anniversary of enlargement.
Several activities for kids, family and adults are scheduled all day long in order to raise awareness on these topics in a funny and convivial atmosphere. Twenty-one EESC members will guide citizens towards the activities and the role of the EESC, answering their questions, discussing their vision of Europe, ideas, hopes and fears.
At 2 p.m. the European Movement International invites everyone to take part in a video-chat "EU-vision!" with the EESC Members – dubbed "EESC special envoys" – in Ljubljana, Bratislava, Assisi and Paris; the members will answer citizens’ questions on Europe in a live debate moderated by Pat Cox, President of the European Movement International.

The EESC’s Open Day will be a unique opportunity for everyone to take part in a major debate on European issues in conjunction with several European cities together with the international European Movement.
The Open Day will begin at 10 a.m. and end at 6 p.m.
