“The Young Atlantiks” Program, organized with the support of the Embassy of Canada in Berlin, the Embassy of Germany in Canada, Atlantik-Brücke Canada and Atlantik-Brücke e.V., seeks to cultivate the next generation of young leaders and to foster the German-Canadian transatlantic partnership.

Ten young Canadian and German professionals, with diverse backgrounds and expertise, met to discuss current and future transatlantic challenges and to attend the 37th German-Canadian Conference in Berlin. The program’s goals include deepening the understanding of Canadian and German politics and culture, fostering connections between the two countries, and enhancing future leaders‘ involvement in transatlantic networks.

“Young Atlantiks” engaged in dialogues with a variety of transatlantic actors to discuss key issues on the international policy agenda, including climate change, defense and security cooperation, as well as digitalization and artificial intelligence.

The program enabled international transatlantic cooperation and provided the young people with opportunities to exchange their thoughts and experiences.
