CloseThis event has ended. The 2023 edition of the ECI Day, organised by the European Economic and Social Committee and its partners, will focus on the skills that organisers need to make their initiative a success - in relation to the European Year of Skills. This will include providing participants with practical tips and recommendations in the form of "How-To" workshops on topics such as how influencers can help an ECI succeed, or turning an idea into a European Citizens' Initiative. Drawing on organisers' experience, the opening session will discuss ways to enhance the ECI tool itself. As part of the event, the European Commission will present its new educational toolkit for schools. The event will be hybrid, with participation in person in Brussels or online, with interpretation in EN/FR. For more information on the programme, please check the regularly updated event webpage Registration will be open until 4 June.
