“I joined the CYR to share my ideas on the sustainable development of the Baltic Sea region and to strengthen youth voices. As an economics student, I always try to understand how policy decisions shape people’s everyday lives and I want young people in the region to have a real say in decisions that will define our future.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
