Unilag EU-Africa Connect

It’s going to be a great year!

You’re going to take on new grounds!

Go for it!
We’re rooting for you!

Seeing unity in diversity is one thing that is almost lost amongst young people and this should not be the case.

📌Youths must learn how to cooperate and see eye to eye with people of differing opinions.
This will foster the relationship not only between people but also continents!

It is a good week to hold others in high esteem!

Do you know there are seven political groups in the European Union?
These political groups influence policy formation for their party interests and the European Union at large.

Here, we discuss one of the numerous proposed policies presented before the European Union.
The minister, representing the Committee of Regions proposed a policy seeking to combat illegal migration into the EU Member states. There was a clear examination of the policy through discussion on the floor of the EU parliament and the policy was later endorsed after passing certain readings.
Do you have any idea of the procedures used before these could happen? If the guess is right, you now know the right step to take.

As we continue to celebrate International Women's Day, one of our facilitators, Dr. Omolara Quadri, emphasized that it's equity over equality because women should complement men, not compete with them. A focus on gender equity should be an integral part of every society because it creates an inclusive world.

During her session on European Union politics and policies, she reminded us that every policy has a reason and an objective. We were able to analyze the complexity of public policy and identify several factors, including the involvement of multiple actors, the availability of resources, competing interests and policy preferences, and various instruments such as lobbying, bargaining, and persuasion that can lead to many problems.

It was fascinating to see our female EU participants engage in meaningful conversations about politics.
We extend our gratitude to Dr. Omolara and all women who are making a positive impact in the political sector.

-Africa

It's another International Women's Day and the theme is EmbraceEquity. People need to understand the difference between equity and equality.

Each one of us can actively support and embrace equity within our own sphere of influence. We can all challenge gender stereotypes, call out discrimination, draw attention to bias, and seek out inclusion.

At EUAfricaConnect, we believe collective activism is what drives change.

Cheers to another International Women's Day 🥂❤️
