The youth think tank of and for the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The West Wing is the official youth think tank of and for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As a youth think tank, we advise the ministry on various areas of Dutch foreign policy. Founded in 2015, The West Wing has grown tremendously in recent years. What began as a think tank for the Western Hemisphere Directorate, hence the name The West Wing, has now grown into a think tank for the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We also now collaborate with other ministries and organizations. The West Wing consists of a carefully selected group of about 50 young professionals and students from various study backgrounds. Every year, a new group of members volunteer for a year to make the voice of the young generation heard in Dutch foreign policy.
