AICGS German-American Dialogue on Civil Society

[American-German Institute @amgerinst]

The US & Germany are both undergoing #demographic changes and experiencing increasing #diversity. How can #civilsociety support the #transatlantic relationship during times of change? @LukasWelz #AICGSnextgen https://t.co/71AHW8vCce

[American-German Institute @amgerinst]

Using #civilsociety for conflict resolution is an important aspect of the #transatlantic relationship. #AICGSnextgen members offer their recommendations. Want to engage more on the topic? Follow @AICGS_DialCivil https://t.co/wCWkPf74A8 @ChWienand @KuYangmo @jul_hamann @LukasWelz

If the #NorthKorea #summit succeeds, there will be a lot left to accomplish to unite a divided peninsula. @KuYangmo on how churches can act as #peacemakers as they did in #Europe. #AICGSnextgen #reconciliation https://t.co/McfcaKDKov

70 years after the founding of #Israel, where do German-Israeli relations stand? https://t.co/3XB3SWQhIF @LukasWelz

[American-German Institute @amgerinst]

What’s the German perspective on migration debates? Miriam Lau and @almutmoeller weigh in #TrumpEffect

[American-German Institute @amgerinst]

A politics that rejects diversity will always eventually fail. #TrumpEffect

[American-German Institute @amgerinst]

Anxieties about #identity are permeating the #German-#American relationship & affecting our #democracies. Civil society needs to foster more discussions about #migration, #democracy, and our collective future. #AICGSnextgen https://t.co/cpN6av3OLf

Establish connections to new societal activists in social movements incl but not limited to the #Resistance #Blacklivesmatter #Runtowin #ACLU #Womensmarch to target new political activists that may move toward the mainstream political scene. Think #Longterm and #Outsidethebox

[AICGS German-American Dialogue on Civil Society @AICGS_DialCivil]

Yesterday´s hiding places are tomorrow´s stages: #EmpowerCommunities of formerly marginalized groups by storytelling, #qualifying civil society actors, increasing #participation, revitalizing #values and living the principles of #subsidiarity. https://t.co/uVHOt1kk4j

[AICGS German-American Dialogue on Civil Society @AICGS_DialCivil]

Engage in transatlantic conversation on #NationalIdentities in the era of #Globalization, on reality and myths of #migration and their impact on society, on models of #multiculturalism and practices of #integration. Create positive, inclusive stories.

#ThinkTransnational! Communities in both countries share domestic challenges such as #MinorityRights and #SocialJustice beyond the state. In times of increasing separation, major efforts to reconcile the diverse parts & integrate marginalized communities can become a #JointEffort

[AICGS German-American Dialogue on Civil Society @AICGS_DialCivil]

Existing and new civil society activities for #TransatlanticDialogue should be institutionalized! We need a #TransatlanticYouthOffice as platform accessible for everyone in order to create synergies and overcome boundaries.

[AICGS German-American Dialogue on Civil Society @AICGS_DialCivil]

To motivate youngsters become active members of civil society, we have to invest more in #TeacherEducation and support (future) teachers to act as critical #CivilAmbassadors for reconciliation.

[AICGS German-American Dialogue on Civil Society @AICGS_DialCivil]

#Reconciliation is not only a task for do-gooders and elites. We need to approach youngsters from various cultural, ethnic, political and religious backgrounds to make their experiences matter in #TransatlanticDialogue. We need #DiversityInReconciliation!

[AICGS German-American Dialogue on Civil Society @AICGS_DialCivil]

Launch #PrayerCampaigns for war-stricken regions such as Syria and Yemen, as well as highly volatile regions such as the Korean Peninsula and Israel/Palestine.

[AICGS German-American Dialogue on Civil Society @AICGS_DialCivil]

Create a #DigitalMuseum that provides accurate, abundant information over the evolution of the transatlantic partnership and its roles in promoting #peace, prosperity, and stability in the international community.

[AICGS German-American Dialogue on Civil Society @AICGS_DialCivil]

Launch an #InternationalCampaign that publicizes the currently damaged transatlantic Partnership and the necessity of recovering the relationship in order to awaken the public in both sides, particularly Americans, who do not have acute interests in the issue. https://t.co/qom7eIRc3f

Identifying current commonalities and differences – increases empathy and helps the German-American partnership move forward in the 21st century #WhatMattersToday

[AICGS German-American Dialogue on Civil Society @AICGS_DialCivil]

Foster #TransatlanticCivilSociety conversations on causes and expressions of distrust in #Democracy. Identify models for meaningful #PoliticalParticipation and #DemocraticRepresentation.

How can Germany connect and/or empathize with the US over major social movements such as #BLM #MeToo and #GunControl? #WhatMattersToday

Many Americans don’t even know the concerns, fears, and aspirations of their neighbors �� how do we get them invested in Germany? #WhatMattersToday
