(Berlin, November 5th - 9th, 2012 - Parallel to "23rd Anniversary to the fall of the Berlin Wall")

Seminar Agenda
Germany Meets Turkey: A Forum for Young Leaders (GMT) is a network of individuals who have an interest in exploring and strengthening relations between Germany and Turkey. The program is based on the recognition that the increasing cultural, economic and political relations must be accompanied by sustained activity to ensure that public opinion and relations between individual member states, and between member-states, remain positive and constructive at the grass roots level.

Individuals can join the GMT Forum by taking part in one of the GMT Weeklong Seminars, which are held several times throughout the year. Each GMT Weeklong Seminar will be focused on a specific theme related to the German- Turkish relations and the goals of the Forum. The Seminars consist of lectures, seminars, debates and panel discussions that will feature leading figures from the media, international politics & diplomacy, academia, civil society, and the private sector. In addition to the academic components, participants take part in a range of social and cultural activities.

The next GMT Weeklong Seminar will be conducted in Berlin from November 5th - 9th, 2012 - Parallel to "23rd Anniversary to the fall of the Berlin Wall". In addition to looking in greater detail at the history and development of cultural diplomacy, the Forum will focus on the following theme:
