It is finally happening: the roll-out of the vaccination campaign is gathering speed with new vaccines being delivered across Europe. In the survey that appeared in our last edition, many of you confirmed you were ready to have the vaccination as and when the time comes. Even so, some questions remain. Find out about the survey results below and where to find more information.
On account of the continuing pandemic, most of us will have to avoid travel over the Easter period. By way of compensation, we invite you on a virtual tour of the EU Council's Europa Building and beyond. Step virtually into the rooms that are rarely open to the public, take a look around and find your country's seat at the table. Our trainees will take you even further on a journey around Europe to discover different Easter traditions.
