#YouthTest EESC External Relations
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!
Concerned by Georgia's Parliament passing the 'Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence' in its first reading.
This can hinder freedom of expression &🇪🇺integration efforts.
As champions of #CivilSociety , the EESC is w/🇬🇪vibrant community against this discriminatory legislation.
A highly interesting exchange! Thank you, Dimitris.N.Dimitriadis🇬🇷 🇪🇺 & EESC External Relations for including Food and Agriculture Organization! It was excellent to see Lifeng LI give the keynote address!
💡 👉3rd panel of European Economic and Social Committee hearing on #WaterPolitics stressed that external institutions must learn how to support indigenous peoples to take on their water-related responsibilities, e.g. to increase presence of non-indigenous water institutions in indigenous peoples' space.

🫱🏼🫲🏽Building alliances is powerful to counter the harmful effects of disinformation.
Unity between 🇪🇺 & 🇲🇩 civil society is an inspiring proof!

📣💡The second panel of the European Economic and Social Committee #WaterPolitics hearing, focused on the role of #women , reveals that more than 670 million women are projected to live by 2050 in countries with high or critical water stress. This shows the alarming impact on women in these countries.
🌊While discussing #WaterPolitics and on how to empower #Youth , @Maitreyi Koduganti from Water Youth Network, Sleimane Hariri from World Youth Parliament for Water & José Pablo Murillo from SIWI shed some light on and stress the importance of youth involvement in water diplomacy.
🔛 Opening session w/ Milena Angelova Dimitris.N.Dimitriadis🇬🇷 🇪🇺 Lifeng LI & Water Convention & Protocol on Water and Health of the European Economic and Social Committee hearing on #WaterPolitics , stressing the massive impact of climate extremes on large segments of the world population, making diplomacy evermore important in the global geopolitical arena
