What’s on the agenda?
The aim of the Forum, throughout its 36 year history, has been to deepen bilateral relations between Britain and Germany, by inviting future leaders from both countries to engage in new dialogues and build partnerships.
The 2021 British German Forum will look to the future, addressing the common challenges driving British Germany relations as well as common goals. It will explore critical issues such as climate ambitions, how to build resilience and inclusivity in both nations’ societies and the compromises of dealing with Russia and China. It will do so in the context of German elections, which will see new personalities and potentially younger generations entering government.
The Forum is held with in association with the British Embassy in Berlin, with support from Bayer AG, and Bridge International Dialogue
