Request for Proposals
Participation at the 16th Transatlantic Young Leaders Forum of the BMW
Foundation
The BMW foundation offers 1-2 members of YOUNG DGAP to take part in its next
Transatlantic Forum, a German-North American young leaders forum which is now
in its 16th year already and which will take place from June 21-24 in Berlin
(http://www.bmw-stiftung.de/de/responsible-leadership/transatlantik-forum).
This year, the conference topic will be The Art of the Possible - Striking a Balance
between Participation and Delegation of Power focusing on issues such as new
forms of political participation, legitimacy of controversial decisions, democratic
representation of marginalized interest groups, as well as on the future of democra-
cy in times of a growing distrust towards all political decision makers.
The Transatlantic Forum brings together some 40 German and American young
decision makers from politics, business, academia, NGOs and the media to discuss
fundamental issues on a transatlantic level. With these forums, we aim to implement
the idea of responsible leadership and open the door for young leaders to activelyengage. To reach this goal, we will introduce the forums topic with top speakers
and then take a day to look at best practices in the field. On the third day we then
hold workshops with projects in the field of political engagement and education,
which can profit from young leaders expertise to i.e. develop a strategy for scaling
up or to develop new approaches. All young leaders who have participated in our
forums form a vibrant alumni network.
