Statement by Gonçalo Lobo Xavier, Vice-President of the EESC, on International Youth Day
Today we celebrate International Youth Day, which recognises the power of youth in transforming the world. First launched in Lisbon in 1998, this year's International Youth Day is dedicated to promoting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their aim to fight global poverty and promote a sustainable world for all. Our ability to implement the SDGs effectively will determine the future of today's youth.
Ahead of the World Day against Trafficking in Persons, Gabriele Bischoff, President of the EESC Workers' Group, has called for the EU to take strong action against human trafficking, in particular to protect children, young people, women and vulnerable people.

Pakolliset EU-politiikkaa käsittelevät opinnot kansalaisten tietämyksen lisäämiseksi ennen vaaliuurnille lähtemistä oli ehdotus, joka sai eniten ääniä Euroopan talous- ja sosiaalikomitean (ETSK) 21.–22. maaliskuuta järjestämässä vuoden 2019 ”Sinun Eurooppasi, sinun mielipiteesi” -nuorisotapahtumassa. Tämä aloite ja kolme muuta valittua ehdotusta, joissa painotetaan uuden teknologian ja sosiaalisen median hyödyntämistä Euroopan parlamentin vaalien äänestysvilkkauden lisäämiseksi, toimitetaan pohdittavaksi Euroopan parlamentille.
Better scrutiny and management of food waste, an internationally agreed European history curriculum to combat nationalism, and better knowledge of the EU via the creation of a European day for schools. These were the main recommendations made to policy-makers by the students who took part in Your Europe, Your Say! (YEYS) to overcome the challenges the EU is facing.
