Description
The Public Diplomacy Section at the U.S. Mission to Germany invites proposals under its Partnership Program to strengthen the transatlantic relationship. As the United States marks its 250th anniversary (Freedom 250), the program supports forward-looking initiatives that highlight the enduring U.S.–German partnership and democratic principles.
The program seeks innovative projects that deepen mutual understanding, foster collaboration, and engage German audiences in meaningful dialogue with the United States. Proposals are encouraged in key areas of cooperation, including sports, science, and space;... countering anti-Semitism and supporting freedom of speech; and measuring the long-term impact of exchange programs.
Science and technology initiatives may showcase joint innovation, research, and exploration. Sports diplomacy projects can leverage major events to promote leadership, teamwork, and shared goals. Projects addressing anti-Semitism and freedom of expression should combat hate, protect free speech, and strengthen open dialogue and institutional resilience. Proposals evaluating exchange programs and sister city partnerships are encouraged to demonstrate lasting impact.
All projects must include strong U.S. components, clearly defined German target audiences, and a strategic implementation plan. Competitive proposals will outline measurable objectives to increase awareness, shape attitudes, strengthen skills, or build sustainable networks supporting U.S.–German cooperation.
