As a think tank, our events provide impetus for social progress. At our conferences, roundtables, background discussions and workshops, we develop and debate progressive ideas – and bring together those who put them into practice. In this way, we create a platform for progressives from Germany, Europe and North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
