The Public Affairs Section organizes conferences, seminars, lectures, and roundtable discussions on issues important to the German-American relationship. Many of these events are co-sponsored by German institutions and organizations. Current topics include the fight against international terrorism, the challenges posed by the global economy, or the reform of the social and pension system.
The focus of our cultural activities is on readings with American writers and events featuring American artists in NRW as well as on promoting bilateral exchanges.
A recent initiative is the “school outreach program” which offers American speakers to interested schools in NRW to discuss U.S. society in the classroom.
