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 will travel to Chicago and Houston to present and discuss their ideas and proposals with representatives from politics, media, business and civil society.

Everyone is invited to continuously share feedback, views and ideas in the comments section of the articles. To stay up-to date, virtually join the expedition and to add your voice to the discussion, please also find us on facebook and twitter.
