Common Ground

The show tries to foster civil dialogue in Berlin and beyond, and its topics will range from local, including the inaugural episode, “Who is a REAL Berliner?” to transatlantic discussion on the U.S. presidential elections and their impact on the sister cities of Berlin and Los Angeles (KCRW Berlin is partnered with KCRW in L.A.) “Common Ground” is a must for the large, English-speaking community of Berlin trying to make sense of urban life in Germany’s complex capital city.

The talk-show format show features guests from diverse backgrounds and nationalities who come together to share different perspectives, learn from each other and develop new ideas. In addition, the program will feature stories, questions and interviews to provide deeper insight into topics.

“Common Ground” features six “town hall” events each year to allow for greater community participation both in Berlin and the in United States. Topics will range from challenges and opportunities facing the German capital, examine the impact of political, socio-economic and cultural issues on daily life.
