🌍 Did You Know? 🌍 The 12 stars on the European Union flag don’t represent the number of member states. Instead, they symbolize perfection and unity, as 12 has long been a symbol of completeness in various traditions. The number of stars is fixed and does not change with the number of member states. #KnowledgeByte #DidYouKnow #YDGCohortV #EUDiplomacy #EuropeanUnion #GlobalUnity Source: European Union, 2020 (european-union.europa.eu) European Union in Ghana, French Embassy in Ghana / Ambassade de France au Ghana, Embassy of Denmark in Ghana, Embassy of Spain in Accra, Ghana

🔙 #ThrowbackThursday 🔙 YDG Cohort V Delegates had the opportunity to visit the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) in Germany as part of their Europe Study Tour. GPPI's mission to improve global governance through research, policy advice, and debate resonates with YDG's vision of empowering young leaders to champion effective diplomacy and transformative policymaking across Africa. During the visit, our Delegates engaged in discussions with GPPI’s policy and research team on global best practices in policy formulation and implementation, and learning how to bridge the gap between the effective policy advocacy and real-world governance challenges to achieve tangible results. #YDGCohortV #StudyTour #GPPI #GlobalGovernance #PolicyAdvocacy #ThrowbackThursday #FutureLeaders #InternationalEngagement
