To ensure these bonds remain strong\, we believe it is critical to engage audiences across the U.S. in conversations and a genuine exchange of ideas about the transatlantic relationship\, highlighting the deep political\, economic\, and social ties and shared issues that impact the citizens of our countries both globally and in local communities. \nThe Frank Church Institute was established in 1982 as the Frank Church Chair of Public Affairs at Boise State University\, to honor the achievements and to carry forward the principles of one of Idaho’s most distinguished native sons\, Senator Frank Church. Its mission is to promote civic engagement and understanding of public policy with a focus on foreign relations. \nInsightDeutschland Weekend Town Halls is a project of the Year of German-American Friendship 2018/2019\, a comprehensive and collaborative initiative funded by the German Federal Foreign Office\, implemented by the Goethe-Institut\, and with support from the Federation of German Industries (BDI). For more information on the initiative and the more than 1\,000 projects that will take place during 2019\, visit www.wunderbartogether.org. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
