Visits at the EESC
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is happy to welcome visitors from all over the world and explain them its role and activities.
Many of our visitors are members of civil society organisations or students specialising in EU affairs and come from all the Member States as well as outside of the EU.
Every visitors group is welcomed by a member of our team and by a speaker, who explains the structure and activities of the EESC and its role in the decision-making process of the European Union. The presentation is interactive and followed by an exchange of views with the participants.
The visit lasts between one and two hours.
