SUMMARY:WYDE Closing Workshop Marks the Culmination of the Programme in Ghana
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating Leadership and Looking Ahead\n\nOn 6 August 2026\, participants\, mentors\, facilitators\, institutional partners and representatives of the European Union will gather in Accra\, Ghana\, for the EU WYDE Closing Workshop: “Celebrating and Shaping the Future of Democratic Participation.” Organised by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Ghana Office within the framework of the WYDE Political Parties project\, led by the European Network of Political Foundations (ENoP) and funded by the European Union\, the event will celebrate the achievements of a new generation of emerging political leaders while reflecting on the programme’s impact and future legacy. \nOver the past months\, participants have taken part in a comprehensive leadership journey combining three residential trainings and three mentorship breakfast sessions. Throughout the programme\, they have strengthened their capacities in democratic leadership\, advocacy\, policy engagement\, communication\, professionalism and cross-party dialogue\, while building lasting relationships with experienced political leaders\, academics and governance practitioners. \nThe Closing Workshop will provide an opportunity to celebrate these achievements and recognise the commitment of everyone who contributed to the programme’s success. Participants will reflect on their personal and professional development\, share lessons learned throughout their six-month journey and discuss how they intend to apply their knowledge and skills to strengthen democratic participation within their communities and institutions. \nThe programme will feature remarks from representatives of the European Union Delegation\, ENoP and KAS Ghana\, alongside a documentary presentation highlighting the WYDE journey and a panel discussion entitled “From Agency to Action: Young Leaders Shaping the Future of Democracy\,” where graduates will reflect on their experiences and aspirations as emerging leaders. The ceremony will also include the presentation of certificates to participants who successfully completed the programme\, recognition of outstanding participants and tributes to the facilitators and mentors whose guidance has been instrumental throughout the project. \nBeyond marking the conclusion of the programme in Ghana\, the event also looks ahead. It celebrates not only what participants have accomplished over the past months\, but also the role they are expected to play as advocates for inclusive political participation and democratic governance in the years to come. By strengthening their leadership capacities and expanding their professional networks\, the programme seeks to create lasting impact well beyond the duration of the project. \nThrough initiatives such as this\, the WYDE Political Parties project continues to support democratic development by strengthening political leadership\, promoting youth participation in politics and fostering dialogue\, knowledge exchange and cooperation between political actors across regions. \nEvent Details\nEvent: EU WYDE Closing WorkshopTheme: Celebrating and Shaping the Future of Democratic ParticipationDate: 6 August 2026Time: 08:30 – 12:10Location: Fiesta Royale Hotel\, Accra\, GhanaOrganised by: Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Ghana OfficeProject: WYDE Political Parties – funded by the European UnionParticipants: WYDE graduates\, representatives of the European Union Delegation\, ENoP\, KAS Ghana\, facilitators\, mentors and project partnersMain highlights: Participant reflections\, documentary presentation\, graduates panel discussion\, graduation ceremony\, certificates and awards\, recognition of mentors and facilitators\, networking.

SUMMARY:Listening to Grassroots Leadership: WYDE Initiative at International Democracy Day Brussels 2026
DESCRIPTION:On 17 September\, the WYDE Initiative will take part in the 12th edition of the International Democracy Day Brussels Conference\, contributing a joint session that brings together perspectives from across the WYDE programme. \nHosted within one of Europe’s leading annual forums on democracy\, the session\, “WYDE Initiative: Rethinking Leadership from the Ground Up\,” will feature representatives from WYDE Women Leadership\, WYDE Civic Engagement and WYDE Political Parties. Together\, they will explore how grassroots actors are reshaping political participation\, leadership and democratic engagement across different regions and contexts. \nThis year’s International Democracy Day Brussels conference asks a timely question: What’s Next for Democracy? Rather than offering predefined answers\, the conference creates space to reflect on how democracy support can adapt to a rapidly changing political landscape. Within this broader conversation\, the WYDE Initiative contributes a perspective grounded in lived experience and local leadership. \nAcross the world\, women\, young people and community leaders continue to develop new forms of participation\, representation and collective action. Yet the realities they face often evolve faster than traditional democracy support mechanisms. The WYDE session creates an opportunity to listen directly to these experiences and reflect on what international partners\, policymakers and democracy practitioners can learn from them. \nRather than showcasing projects or presenting institutional achievements\, the discussion is designed as a listening exercise. Participants will explore how emerging forms of leadership challenge conventional assumptions about political participation\, while highlighting the importance of adapting democracy support to changing realities on the ground. \nThe panel will bring together: \n\nTosin Ajayi\, Executive Director of Women Environment and Youth Development Initiative (WOYODEV)\, representing WYDE Women Leadership;\nCamila Moreno Gil\, representing WYDE Civic Engagement;\nEmmy Otim\, Regional Manager for East Africa at KIC Sweden and CEO of Distinct Leadership Consults\, representing WYDE Political Parties.\n\nThe discussion will be moderated by Chiara Grigolo\, Associate Programme Officer at International IDEA. \nBy bringing together three complementary WYDE components in a single conversation\, the session reflects the value of collaboration across programmes working to strengthen democratic participation\, inclusion and leadership. While each initiative approaches these objectives from a different perspective\, the discussion highlights the importance of learning across sectors and recognising grassroots actors not simply as beneficiaries of democracy support\, but as partners whose experience can help shape its future. \nAs democratic contexts continue to evolve\, the WYDE Initiative remains committed to creating spaces where local voices\, practical experience and collaborative learning inform broader conversations on democracy\, participation and inclusive leadership. \n\n\n\nEvent Details\nEvent: WYDE Initiative: Rethinking Leadership from the Ground Up \nPart of: International Democracy Day Brussels Conference 2026 \nConference Theme: What’s Next for Democracy?
