Sakis is the EYCA Youth Panel Coach. He works with the Youth Panel members on a regular basis to provide them with the skills and guidance needed to carry out diverse EYCA-related tasks. However, he sees his role as going much further than the Youth Panel programme, as he hopes that the experiences that the young members will learn over the two-year mandate will be useful for years to come.

Having been involved in EYCA projects and programmes for several years, and having led youth trainings for longer still, Sakis understands well the challenges that young people need to navigate.
