AICGS’ New Transatlantic Exchange Program: Giving Voice to Diversity

The American Institute for Contemporary German Studies is pleased to announce the continuation of its German-American youth exchange program on the theme "Immigration, Integration, and a New Transatlantic Generation." 20 young leaders with little or no experience with transatlantic relations will come together for seminars and site visited in Washington and Berlin. This innovative program will establish new connections between communities that have grown principally from an immigration background, and address common challenges of immigration and integration. Activities include a seminar and site visits in both cities over the course of 4-5 days. Selected participants are required to attend both events, the first taking place in Washington, DC from October 16-21, 2016 and the second in Berlin from May 7-12, 2017. Travel, accommodation and most meals will be provided.  

Fluency in English is mandatory. Please send application materials including a CV, one-page letter of interest, and two letters of recommendation to Ms. Susanne Dieper.
