The European Union and the Embassy of the King­dom of the Netherlands in Ghana, yesterday launched the inaugural cohort of the Team Eu­rope Youth Sounding Board (YSB) Ghana.

The initiative aims to empower young change makers to play a crucial role in influencing policies and programmes that affect their lives and communities.

The YSB is a global European initiative aligned with the EU's commitment to youth empower­ment. "By actively engaging the young­er generation, we aim to tackle pressing issues relevant to youth in Ghana, including economic development, education reforms, and social equity.

Participants will have the chance to share their per­spectives, collaborate on innovative solutions, and influence the policies that will shape the future of their nation," said Irchad Razaaly, the EU Ambassador to Ghana.
