Berlin & Leadership Conference
This city-based stay investigates how water has shaped the city, life, and history of Berlin for centuries.
You’ll begin by enjoying activities ranging from sightseeing to visiting a hydroponic farm. From there, escape to the countryside—just like a local—to enjoy leisure kayaking on the scenic waterways of Spreewald. In Potsdam, learn how water influenced where the German aristocracy built their homes, then move on to water’s more recent role during the Cold War. Lastly, further understand The Impact of Water on Society at our inspiring leadership conference and explore ways to harness this natural resource to make a bigger difference around the world.
