SUMMARY:A Conversation between Berlin and Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Berlin and Los Angeles have been sister cities since 1967. Originally launched by former Berliners who had emigrated to the U.S. to work in the film industry\, culture and the arts have always been a cornerstone for the relationship. Both the Villa Aurora and the Thomas Mann House have served as institutional ties connecting the two cities. More recently\, economic bonds between the two cities have been increasing including exchange in the areas of environmental and climate protection and renewable energy\, as well as cooperation in the startup sector. What are the factors that have made these two cities centers for artists and people in the creative arts? How have the two cities strengthened their partnership over the last 50 years? \nJoin us for a conversation with State Secretary Christian Gaebler\, Head of the Berlin Senate Chancellery\, andAmbassador Nina Hachigian\, Deputy Mayor of International Affairs\, Los Angeles. \nThis virtual event is part of the American Council on Germany’s series titled [virtual] Transatlantic Town Halls: German-American Mayors Forum\, held under the auspices of WunderbarTogether USA 2020\, a comprehensive and collaborative initiative funded by the German Federal Foreign Office and implemented by the Goethe-Institut.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F8916069270618%2FWN_XogPf3gnQmWeBQKIVDUaAA” css=”.vc_custom_1606927101458{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text] \n\n\n\n\n\n\nState Secretary Christian Gaebler has been the head of the Berlin Senate Chancellery since 2018.
