” What a beautiful initiative of Virginie Nogueras and his team of Ex’pairs, organising the first Happy GovDay edition! It is with pleasure and humbleness that I associate me as godfather and friend to this ambitious project: consider the complexity of world, issues, emergencies, fragilities, as an intelligence sources, solutions and beauties for our “Petits Princes’ world”. Sincerely, Philippe Pozzo di Borgo.
