‘Your Europe, Your Say!’ Schools from Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine invited to take part in 2025 event

On 13-14 March 2025, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) will bring to Brussels nearly 100 young participants and 37 teachers from EU Member States, candidate countries, and the UK for its annual Your Europe, Your Say! (YEYS) event. 

This year, YEYS will focus on the role of young people in collectively shaping a resilient future. It aims to equip them to engage in civic action and contribute to participatory democracy activities in their communities and beyond.

YEYS 2025 will be a 1.5-day event featuring interactive sessions and collaborative workshops. Experienced facilitators will guide the sessions, helping participants articulate their views and shape recommendations which will then be used for future policy proposals and actions.

Schools from Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine can nominate one student (aged 16-18) and one accompanying teacher per school.

As the event will be held entirely in English, students and teachers must be able to speak and comprehend a good level of English.

The deadline for applications is 1 December 2024.
