Young Atlantiks Program
Each year, the Young Atlantiks Program brings together young Canadians and Germans to discuss current and future challenges on both sides of the Atlantic.
Every year, ten young professionals from Canada and Germany meet at the German-Canadian Conference as part of the Young Atlantiks Program. The program offers a small group of young Canadians and Germans the opportunity to discuss current and future challenges on both sides of the Atlantic and to create lasting transatlantic connections.
The Young Atlantiks exchange ideas with representatives from politics, science and society and lay the foundation for the next generation of the transatlantic German-Canadian partnership.
Launched in 2019, the initiative is organized by Atlantik-Brücke and Atlantik-Brücke Canada.
