The aim of the annual event “Your Europe, Your Say!” (YEYS), organized by the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) on 19–20 March, in Brussels, was to explore the theme of “Meaningful Connections, Active Participation and Democratic Engagement”. The event brought together almost 140 participants, including secondary school students and their teachers, as well as young adults involved in youth organizations.
Miroslav Hajnoš, EESC member from Slovakia and a member of the EESC Youth Group, advised young people to “unfollow at least one social media influencer”, even that person seemed like a convenient shortcut to a fulfilling life.
