M100 Sanssouci Colloquium

Building on Potsdam's historic role as a focus for dialogue between East and West, and in the face of increasingly complex and important challenges emanating from Russia, the Middle and Far East, the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium has been developed into a significant ‘East-West Media Bridge'. The Colloquium has become an annual meeting point of media and public figures from across today's most sensitive geo-political and communal fault lines. The Colloquium aims to foster cross-continental media relations, exposing not only differences, but also commonalities in the challenges faced by media from different cultures and geographies.
