What does the future of transatlantic relations look like after Germany and the United States have held elections and chosen new governments? In our youth seminar, we want to take a closer look at the transatlantic relationship and how it has changed in a short period of time. Are the values and priorities of both countries still aligned and how can we assess the state of U.S. democracy? Which role will the United States play in Europe under the Trump administration? We will be discussing topics such as the state of democracy, security in Europe, and more with experts and are excited to hear your opinions! Meet new friends, practice your English and learn more about transatlantic relations! Join us for two days filled with lectures, discussions and activities this October in Wiesbaden.
