The Franco-German Forum for the Future

The explainer animation sets out to illustrate, in an easily understandable way, how the Franco-German Forum for the Future works, along with its various phases and aspects. The Forum for the Future aims to enable a new kind of exchange between politics, civil society, science and business in both countries. With this forum, the German and French governments want to encourage and accelerate the development towards a sustainable society. The goal of the Franco-German Forum for the Future is to learn from the social transformation processes already under way in Germany and France, and to develop recommendations for the future of both countries. Particular attention is paid to the strength of locally successful initiatives driven by engaged citizens. The explainer animation vividly presents the various innovative formats used for exchanging knowledge and experience in order to build visions and concrete policy recommendations, and highlights the forum's distinctly transnational character.
