Planning global responsibility together |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stuttgart, October 10th, 2003 - The question of European participation in the Iraq war was a test of trans-Atlantic and especially of German-US relations. Now, as the saying goes, we must start looking ahead again. But views on this and on the other side of the Atlantic about fighting terrorism, say, or about environmental and development policies still diverge considerably. The German-American Alumni Conference, "Common Global Responsibility" to take place on November 6th to 9th at Georgetown University, Washington DC, will be discussing controversial and shared views from the German and the American perspective, and will search for answers to global problems - security, energy and environment, world trade and migration - to which both sides can subscribe. Another issue to be discussed will be the images of one another presented by the media. Participants will be mainly "young future leaders" all of whom have spent a longer period of time in the respective other country under the auspices of an exchange program - as well as experts in politics, science, media and culture. The Conference program and further information is available from: www.runder-tisch-usa.de/washington Editorial departments please note! The Conference is open to the press with opportunities for filming and sound recording
The Conference was organized on the initiative of the "Runder Tisch USA" which was founded by the Robert Bosch Foundation and the Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations (ifa) in 1998. About thirty German and bilateral institutions and foundations participate in it. |
