Global Café

The idea to establish a Global Café as a common activity of the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences and the Potsdam Center for Policy and Management, Master of Public Management, was born in the winter semester 2013/2014. The main objective is to sensitize the members of the Faculty for international issues and to strengthen an inter-cultural atmosphere. The national and international students and staff-members should get a good frame for coming together, for communication and for discussing special topics and issues. Because of the problem of space – a room for a Global Café -, we decided to start at first with a couple of discussions about actual problems in the international political context. These events have met with good response.

You are interested in international politics and want to learn about political and social issues in the home countries of our international students? This December the Global Café returns! Like in previous years students from all around the world will talk about selected topics.

Taking place as an online format, the subject of this years edition will be:

Covid-19 management from the perspective of France and Russia (December 8, 2021)

Join the event and contribute to an exciting discussion!
