Second Atlantic Expedition to Chicago and Houston – It’s a Wrap!

From 9 – 14 October, participants of the second Atlantic Expedition joined a trip to Chicago and Houston during which they had the opportunity to discuss their ideas and proposals with a variety of stakeholders from politics, business, academia, media and civil society. The diverse selection of meeting partners allowed for a variety of feedback and input, examining the transatlantic debate and especially the modernization of transatlantic relations from various viewpoints and providing valuable feedback to the respective working groups.

Our meeting partners in Chicago and Houston included representatives from the Goethe-Institut Chicago, the Consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany in Chicago, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, ONE Northside, the German-American Chamber of Commerce Midwest, the Chicago Tribune, Houston Public Media, the Houston-Leipzig Sister City Association, the Mayor’s Office of Trade & International Affairs of the City of Houston, the Houston Police Department, the Houston Young Republicans, Rice University and the Consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany in Houston.

Atlantic Expedition is a fellowship program aiming to empower a younger and more diverse generation of leaders in transatlantic relations.

The Atlantic Expedition is currently in its second round. After fellows of the first Expedition developed policy recommendations and created the Atlantic Memo “Transatlantic Relations in a New Era: The Next Generation Approach”, participants of the second Expedition joined forces to develop new strategies for communicating transatlantic relations to a diverse audience and consequently making the transatlantic relationship a more inclusive endeavor.

From 9-14 October, fellows of the second Atlantic Expedition traveled to Chicago and Houston to present and discuss their ideas and proposals with representatives from politics, media, business and civil society. They published their recommendations in a second Atlantic Memo titeled “Atlantic Expedition II: Towards a More Inclusive Transatlantic Partnership” .
