Publications Office of the European Union’s Post

We are smiling proudly at the Publications Office of the European Union!  Every year in the European Commission we hold Clear Writing Week to share tips and best practices on writing clearly in all communication.   To end the week, there is a Clear Writing Awards ceremony that recognises and thanks colleagues who produce remarkably clear, understandable and accessible content in their daily work.  This year, for the second time in a row, two colleagues of ours won an award!   🏆🏆 Our colleague Dominika Uhrikova won an award in the digital content category for an article in our internal newsletter Commission en direct entitled  'Delivering hope: over 1.5 million textbooks reach Ukrainian schools'. It concerned our joint project with DG EAC to deliver textbooks to schools in Ukraine.  👏 Our other colleague María J. Jerez received a prize for her work in developing an easy-to-read version of DG JUST’s public consultation on the EU Gender Equality Strategy post-2025. The consultation aimed to gather the views of different actors on how the situation of gender equality in the EU has evolved since 2020 and identify priorities for the next 5 years. Maria’s work helped facilitate the engagement and participation of young people and people with cognitive and reading disabilities in the consultation.  👏 Colleagues were presented with their awards by the Commission’s Secretary-General, Ilze Juhansone, and Director-General for Translation, Christos Ellinides.  🤝 Congratulations to Dominika and Maria! And here’s to more clear writing achievements every year … and every day! 📝 💯 #PlainLanguageDay #KISS .................................................
