SUMMARY:How Current Global Issues are Shaped by International Media: Terrorism\, Climate Change\, Refugees
DESCRIPTION:Join the Consulate General of France in Atlanta\, the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Atlanta\, the Alliance Française d’Atlanta and the Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta for our annual celebration of the signing of the Elysée Treaty. \nIn 2015\, international terrorism\, the UN Climate Change Conference\, and the European refugee crisis have become the most discussed political topics. Politicians\, business leaders\, and journalists share their perspectives on these issues on a daily basis and by doing so draw our attention to the topics\, shape our perception\, and even raise an entire nation’s consciousness. \nThis year’s annual Elysée Treaty Celebration will look at how international media shapes global issues and our own perception. We’ll be joined by German journalist\, Christoph von Marschall\, “Gar nicht so gute Europäer”\, Die Zeit and French journalist Gallagher Fenwick\, France 24\, who will both share their perspectives in reference to current discussions.

SUMMARY:2016 Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series - Migration
DESCRIPTION:Migration \nSpeaker: Dr. Jeanne Grussendorf \nAs a record number of migrants cross the Mediterranean Sea to find refuge in Europe\, the continent is struggling to come up with an adequate response. Although Europe’s refugees are largely fleeing conflicts in Syria\, Iraq and parts of Africa\, their struggle is hardly unique. Today\, with the number of displaced people at an all-time high\, a number of world powers find themselves facing a difficult question: how can they balance border security with humanitarian concerns? More importantly\, what can they do to resolve these crises so as to limit the number of displaced persons?

SUMMARY:2016 Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series - The United Nations
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations \nSpeaker: Dr. Rashid Naim \nOn the eve of the international organization’s 70th birthday\, the United Nations stands at a crossroads. This year marks a halfway point in the organization’s global effort to eradicate poverty\, hunger and discrimination\, as well as ensure justice and dignity for all peoples. But as the UN’s 193 member states look back at the success of the millennium development goals\, they also must assess their needs for its sustainable development goals — a new series of benchmarks\, which are set to expire in 2030. With the appointment of the ninth secretary-general in the near future as well\, the next UN leader is bound to have quite a lot on his or her plate going into office.

SUMMARY:A Note on Opera: Wagner's "Lohengrin"
DESCRIPTION:Join Goethe for their latest lecture in “A Note on Opera” series as they look at Wagner’s “Lohengrin.” \nHow much do we really know about another person? And how much are we willing to take on faith? These are the central questions in “Lohengrin.” Its call for national unity reflected the mood throughout the German states\, leading up to the revolutions of 1848. “Lohengrin” is the last of Wagner’s more traditional works\, with its choruses\, duets\, arias\, etc. and is considered the “swan song” of German Romantic Nationalism. \nCourse to be taught in English by David Kerr. No pre-existing knowledge of music required.
