Člani Evropskega ekonomsko-socialnega odbora bodo februarja in marca obiskali petintrideset šol iz držav članic EU in sedmih držav kandidatk, da bi jih pripravili na skupščino mladih „Vaša Evropa, vaš glas!“ 23. in 24. marca 2023 v Bruslju.
Letošnji dogodek EESO za mlade „Vaša Evropa, vaš glas!“ bo potekal že štirinajstič, ponovno s fizično udeležbo po treh letih pavze zaradi COVID-19. Namen dogodka z naslovom „Dialogi o demokraciji“ je mladim pomagati razumeti, kaj so evropske vrednote in kaj pomeni aktivno državljanstvo v participativni demokraciji.
Člani EESO, ki delujejo kot mentorji dijakom v tej praktični predstavitvi predstavniške demokracije v EU, trenutno obiskujejo izbrane šole v svojih državah (na fotografiji je podpredsednik EESO Cillian Lohan z dijaki iz šole iz njegove države – Irske).
Dijaki, stari od 16 do 18 let, bodo marca prišli v Bruselj in sodelovali na delavnicah in delovnih skupinah, da bodo pripravili predloge na podlagi doseženega soglasja.
Njihove predloge za spodbujanje angažiranja mladih in aktivnega državljanstva bodo nato predložili evropskim institucijam in evropskim politikom na visoki ravni, ki sprejemajo odločitve.
Ta dogodek bo namenjen ozaveščanju mladih o tem, kako različne skupine z različnimi interesi dosežejo socialni dogovor.
Dogodek bo potekal 23. in 24. marca 2023. Med govorniki bodo:
