Who are we? – The Pupils' Committee

Who are we?

The Comité des Élèves (C.D.E.), or Pupils’ Committee, is the democratically elected student council of the European School of Brussels II (EEB2). Representing all students, the CDE works to amplify student voices, defend their rights, and improve school life. Through events, initiatives, and transparent communication, the CDE fosters a vibrant and inclusive community.

The CDE is made out of three parts, our Core, our Teams and our external representation in other projects and organisations.
