22nd FNF - International Academy for Leadership (IAF) Aumni from Pakistan brought together over 60 remarkable alumni who are the backbone of the Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit’s efforts in Pakistan. This gathering celebrated the vibrant community of leaders promoting intellectual freedom, cultural diversity, and global relations. Since the first participant from Pakistan went to Germany in 1995, we have built bridges between cultures and advocated for liberal political ideas that foster peace and tolerance. Since its inception, the IAF has organized impactful seminars and workshops, empowering participants to become opinion leaders in their respective countries. Through interactive methods, such as role plays, debates, and workshops, we engage in meaningful dialogue on crucial topics like democracy, human rights, and political communication. Freedom Gate Prosperity is preparing to sustain the spirit of Freedom in Pakistan. A huge thank you to all attendees for your dedication and passion!
