Understanding the EESC: A Key Player in the EU

Discover the important role of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) in the European Union. This presentation explores the committee's responsibilities, its impact on EU policy-making and how it amplifies the voices of organised civil society. It will help you gain a deeper understanding of the EESC's significance and its contribution to a more inclusive and prosperous Europe. It also offers an overview of what to expect for those taking part in Your Europe, Your Say! (YEYS). This knowledge will serve as a valuable foundation for YEYS 2025 where participants will have the opportunity to engage with their peers and other delegates and shape the future of Europe.
