In the past 10 years, Seku M. Condé, journalist, editor and presenter at the Slovenian public broadcaster RTV Slovenia, has never missed a single edition of the EESC youth event Your Europe, Your Say! (YEYS). As our surprise guest, he writes about how YEYS has changed over the years, which moments have stayed with him and why he keeps coming back to the event which he says feels different and undeniably sincere, offering a rare opportunity for its young participants to be truly heard.
