The Brexit webinar will bring practical answers to your questions and networking opportunities before and after the event for EWC stakeholders only
Since 1 January 2021, the UK is finally no longer a member of the European Economic Area. This
has consequences for European Works Councils (EWCs). Most EWCs define their scope as the
countries of the European Economic Area (EEA).
If your EWC has not adapted that definition to today’s reality of an EEA without the UK, it means
that the UK EWC members are no longer a part of your EWC. The European Trade Union
Federations confirm that : “In some instances, the mere existence of the EWC might be called into
question, as a consequence of the UK leaving the EU.
If you want to have the UK employees represented in your EWC, have you provided for the
necessary adaptation of your EWC Agreement?

CEO @ Presence and Paradigma
I am a speaker, communications expert, strategist and philosopher but above all I am a cosmopolitan and I firmly believe that the great opportunity of the world of today resides in the fact that we can live the adventure of many cultures and manifold identities.Socrates famously stated that the unexamined life is not worth living and I believe that this is even more true today as we are bombarded with so much information and lost as to what to believe and what to distrust. Moreover, many people make a living out of trying to deceive others, so we had better be aware of the pitfalls.In our postmodern world, truth is often a matter of mere opinion and the battle of opinions is raging all around us. I am passionate about deconstructing fallacies, debunking myths, giving a voice to all perspectives and allowing new hybrid cultures to emerge.Communications are key and I devote my professional and private life to making sure that people have the right skills and tools to make their opinions count. Nothing saddens me more when I see how many valuable opinions are never given a chance as they are overpowered by the clamor of empty rhetoric. When a valuable perspective is not given a chance to be heard, it is not only the person expressing it who loses out, but society as a whole.
