SUMMARY:Wir schaffen das: Five Years Later
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As the conflict in Syria was intensifying\, millions of Syrians sought to escape the danger any way possible – mostly on foot. For many\, Germany was the ideal destination. After visiting a refugee camp in Dresden\, on August 31\, 2015\, Chancellor Angela Merkel said “Wir schaffen das” – or “We can manage this” – referring to Europe’s ability to cope with mass migration from Syria. By the end of the year\, Germany became the destination for over one million refugees. \nNow five years later\, on August 31 at 11 am\, the ACG will host a virtual discussion on the lasting impact of the estimated 1.1 million migrants who settled in Germany in 2015 and the millions more who settled elsewhere in Europe. Join us for a discussion with Adam Hunter\, Executive Director of the Refugee Council USA; Jagoda Marinic\, writer and columnist for the Süddeutsche Zeitung and Director of the International Welcome Center in Heidelberg; Victoria Rietig\, Head of the Migration Program at the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP).[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register here” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F5015988809044%2FWN_ikqhMpWPTeiIzYCR559rBA|||” css=”.vc_custom_1598880942656{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
