In our new column I'm voting. Are you? which will run until June 2024, we present the views of our guest speakers on how and why to participate in the European elections. In this issue, our guest is Konstantina Manoli, a 19-year old student  from Greece who took part in this year's Your Europe Your Say. 

Held for the first time during Civil Society Week, the EESC's flagship youth event brought together more than 100 young people from across the EU, candidate countries and the UK for fervent debates on democracy and Europe's future.

Konstantina Manoli studies foreign languages, translation and interpreting at the Ionian University in Greece. She is a dedicated linguist with a passion for political discussions and global affairs.
