Looking back at our sudy tour through the American Midwest, our fellows presented their policy recommendations for the first time @DAIS_Leipzig' Year End reception. Among others, US CG Toko @USConsLeipzig gave feedback and discussed with us how to implement our findings.

Religion & Politik-eines der Themen bei den Midterms-und in unserem neuen Podcast. Wir waren mit @ardenthistorian auf Lesereise in einer Region, die seit der Reformation eine wichtige Rolle für Kirche & Gesellschaft auf beiden Seiten des Atlantiks spielt. https://t.co/XCqeQbgMDk

Im Rahmen vom Podcast des @DAIS_Leipzig habe ich mit @ardenthistorian über ihr Buch »Amerikas Gotteskrieger« gesprochen https://t.co/bvqOuGEPcE

“Sunday worship hour has historically been the most segregated hour of the week”—meeting with a Glendale methodist church discussing social divisions. “But we’re starting to change that to make our churches more reflective of the diversity of the community” @AICGS

@frwopitz @CityofAthensOH @ohiou @VoinovichSchool Onwards, we’ve learned a great deal from meeting with @Rural_Action, an initiative that fosters civic conversation to create sustainable development paths for Appalachian Ohio. And, we got to enjoy the @pawpawFest celebrating the Paw Paw, Appalachia's native fruit. So yummy!

@frwopitz After a scenic drive through Ohio, we arrived in its south-eastern most corner @CityofAthensOH, home to renowned @ohiou. Here we’ve met with students from Madagascar, Nigeria, Ghana, the US @VoinovichSchool to discuss global perspectives on climate change & transformation.

Full house @DAIS_Leipzig HQ! More than 20 project fellows came to visit us on their #NewUrbanProgress tour through Germany with @DPZ_Berlin, @AHG_Berlin, and @ppi. Together, we learned about @StadtLeipzig and the region’s relevance for transatlantic exchange. (1/3)

[DAI Sachsen @DAIS_Leipzig]

We discussed the role of city partnerships in shaping cultural exchange and the future of democracy, but also in addressing political polarization, the climate crisis, technological and economic change, and the importance of young people’s voices in those debates.

[DAI Sachsen @DAIS_Leipzig]

Chancellor #Merkel speaking at #germanunityday in Central Germany was moving. "Be open to new encounters, tell each other your stories, tolerate your differences. That's the lesson from 31 years of unity." A lesson relevant to regional & global audiences. How so? A thread (1/11)
