#YouthTest EESC External Relations

Looking forward to presenting for vote my Opinion on EU UK Youth relations this afternoon.
Hoping for a strong vote in favour so we can begin the next phase of our collaborative work.

Last year, at April's #EESCPlenary , I began my journey as President of the European Economic and Social Committee with determination.

Today, 1⃣ year later, & on the sidelines of a new Plenary, I renew my commitment to this role with even greater passion.🙌

Excited to drive forward on our shared priorities!
