Subnationale Diplomatie statt weltpolitischem Misstrauen?

In the organizer's words:

When tensions intensify on the global political stage and trust between states dwindles, places are needed where dialog can continue. Cities like Dortmund and Xi'an have been proving this for over 30 years: Understanding is possible - locally, concretely, humanly.

But how sustainable are such partnerships in the face of human rights issues, geopolitical dependencies and growing pressure on companies and municipalities to assume global responsibility?

This event brings together exactly the voices that are needed now.
Discuss the role of municipal partnerships in a changing world with leading experts from academia, municipal administration and civil society.

What you can expect:

• First-hand impulses:
  Prof. Dr. Thomas Heberer (University of Duisburg-Essen) classifies China's political development - and what it means for city partnerships.

• Practical dialog:
  Martin van der Pütten (City of Dortmund) reports from the heart of a city partnership.

• Human rights in practice:
  Dr. Sabine Ferenschild (SÜDWIND) shows how municipalities can help shape responsibility in global supply chains.
