USA Update 2024: Elections Special

Friday, October 18, 2024, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This seminar will take place in Amerikahaus. A livestream with possibility for active participation is also available. Upon registration, please select only one participation format.

Mere weeks before the next presidential election, where does the United States stand? What successes and failures did the Biden administration have and how has it handled foreign policy? What are the issues that divide American politics and society on the national and local level? And how can we better understand the rematch between 81-year old Joe Biden and 78-year old Donald Trump in 2024? As usual, satirical cartoons and videos will provide comic relief on these often dark and serious issues.

Schedule:
09:00 The ups and downs of the Biden administration
10:00 Foreign policy priorities and challenges for the Biden administration
10:30 Coffee Break
11:00 Domestic politics and culture wars on the national and local level
12:15 The 2024 general election
13:00 Conclusion and discussion
14:00 End


Registration fee: € 10 per teacher seminar.
Please register via our registration form or online via FIBS.
