I was invited to give a round-up closing speech at yet another well-attended and deeply interesting conference at the EESC. This one, under the enthusiastic and dynamic chairmanship of our Vice-President with responsibility for communication matters, Irini Pari (left), brought together a set-piece opening session (with speakers including MEP and Chairman of the EP’s Constitutional Affairs Committee, Jo Leinen, Czech Republic State Secretary for European Affairs, Marek Mora, European Commissioner for Education, Training and Youth, Jan Figel, and Anna Terron, of the Committee of the Regions) with three themed workshops in which participants got down to discussing: how to communicate beyond borders and cultures; how to reconcile the national and European dimensions; and civil society organisations as a network to promote key issues.
