Every year, the American Council on Germany brings together about 25 American and about 25 German professionals between the ages of 28 and 38 from business, government, media, academia, military, religion, and the arts for one week for an intense dialogue on current global affairs. These meetings ultimately serve to provide the successor generation of decision-makers on both sides of the Atlantic with a better understanding of how issues of common concern are perceived by their peers at home and abroad. Furthermore, the program provides an opportunity for a group of bright, informed, and sophisticated young professionals to informally discuss major issues in the bilateral relationship and enables participants to deal frankly with the issues in their own terms – and to explore and debate their differences...
Applicants for the Young Leaders program should show promise in their given field and must be between the ages of 28 and 38. Previous experience with Germany and Europe in general is not required; in fact, the program is designed to broaden the horizons of those who have not had previous extensive exposure to international affairs.
