From 2015 to 2017, the German-American Dialog brought together federal legislators and civil society representatives from both sides of the Atlantic in order to strengthen inter-parliamentary as well as civil-society dialog. During the first part of the exchange, participants met in Berlin and discussed current and future challenges to the transatlantic community, such as climate change and electric mobility, migration and integration, vocational training, startups and entrepreneurship as well as civic education and the role of the media. Following the stay in the capital, the American delegations traveled to local constituencies together with Members of the Bundestag to visit local companies and learn about projects on the municipal level. This program was made possible through the generous support from the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry for Economics and Energy (BMWi).
