Your Europe, Your Say!

Preparations are under way at the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) for the 9th ‘Your Europe, Your Say!’ event. This event consists in inviting pupils, in their penultimate year at any type of secondary school from the 28 EU Member States and the five candidate countries, to visit Brussels. The event gives the pupils the chance to find out about the EU and to understand the EESC's role within it. It is also a unique opportunity for young people to take part in a plenary assembly-style debate on a specific subject in a multicultural environment, putting forward arguments, negotiating and reaching a compromise.
