YNDC Hosts Tour for Transatlantic Dialogue on Industrial Heartlands

On Thursday, October 3, 2024

YNDC provided a tour for the Transatlantic Dialogue on Industrial Heartlands. The dialogue is a project by Das Progressive Zentrum, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, Georgetown University BMW Center for German and European Studies, and the Progressive Policy Institute. The project is supported by the Transatlantic Program of the Federal Republic of Germany, funded by the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).

The dialogue aims to create new opportunities in old industrial heartlands in both countries by forging a transatlantic dialogue, exchanging best practices and developing political strategies and policy solutions for a better, greener and more democratic future in the “places that don’t matter”. The main goal is to deliver increased living standards and opportunities, while also working towards rebuilding trust in democracy in the U.S. and Germany.
