SUMMARY:Democracies in Distress:  Europe and the United States
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On both sides of the Atlantic\, popular confidence in political institutions has fallen and voters are increasingly disenchanted with mainstream political parties. In the United States\, political polarization is at an all-time high and in Europe political splintering is weakening long-established parties.

What are some of the causes of these trends and what can be done to address them? \nAnne Applebaum\, Staff Writer\, The Atlantic \nModerated by:\nDr. David Deissner\, Executive Director\, Atlantik-Brücke[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2FWN_0XX5kcuMQF2yyrjXwdZJIQ” css=”.vc_custom_1625674355669{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Defending Democracy from Misinformation and Fake News
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In order for democracies to function effectively\, citizens need transparent access to accurate information based on facts.

SUMMARY:“Knowledge Diplomacy” in Times of Disruption and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]During the Covid-19 pandemic\, the importance of science and knowledge has brought scientists even closer to policymakers than ever before – as they collectively try to meet the common public health challenge. This has been true in both domestic policy-making and also in global cooperation. Will this trend continue? And\, will it embed the transfer of knowledge as a powerful diplomatic tool to shape international relations? What are the challenges and opportunities for “knowledge diplomacy”? And\, how do we prepare future generations for this new kind of international exchange? \nJoin 1014\, the American Council on Germany\, and the German Center for Research and Innovation New York (DWIH) for a conversation with Dr. Esther Brimmer\, Executive Director & CEO of NAFSA: Association of International Educators and former Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs\, and Dr. Georg Schütte\, Secretary General of the Volkswagen Foundation and former State Secretary at the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F7816258446391%2FWN__1Qyj9RiTQuoy0I9K-Pvvw” css=”.vc_custom_1625844675097{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Dr. Esther Brimmer serves as the Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of NAFSA: Association of International Educators.
