You and your guests are invited to join the FAWCO Region 5 Meeting 2024, hosted by the American Women’s Club of Berlin. As we convene just days after the US Presidential election, the meeting’s theme is “Women & Democracy”. This event is a great opportunity for you to meet your FAWCO sister clubs from Germany, Austria, Bratislava (Slovakia) and Moldova, and learn more about FAWCO, its programs and how you can get involved.
In addition to FAWCO speakers, we’ve planned the following special sessions:
- a panel discussion on the aftermath of the U.S. presidential race and what it means for Germany and beyond, hosted by AWC Berlin member Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson, former NPR foreign correspondent and Common Ground Berlin talk show host.
- Dual Citizenship in Germany – a panel of AWC Berlin members who have undertaken the process to become German citizens discuss why, how, advantages & disadvantages.
- In honor of AWC Berlin’s 130th Anniversary, AWC Berlin member Professor Dr. Mary Pepschinski presents “Feminists in the Kaiser Land”, a look at the role of women’s clubs around the turn of the century, when AWC Berlin and several other FAWCO founding clubs were formed.
- and “The Power of Story,” led by AWC Berlin member, Syd Atlas, Author and Communication Expert.
The meeting starts on Friday with a welcome dinner, runs through Saturday with optional dinner on Saturday night, and continues for the half-day on Sunday. Before, during and after the meeting, we have organized interesting tours for you to discover the many facets of Berlin.
