Germany: Virtual Round Table - Green cities for social cohesion

We are pleased to invite you to our Virtual Round Table: Green cities for social cohesion on Tuesday, 29 June 2021 from 14:00 until 15:30.

This event will take place shortly before the State Visit of HRH Willem-Alexander and HRH Máxima of the Netherlands to the Federal Republic of Germany. During the State Visit, the Royal Couple will discuss the role of nature in the city of Berlin and green spaces for social cohesion with a number of local actors. Our Virtual Round Table compliments this by connecting stakeholders in Germany and The Netherlands to foster good relations in this field.
