SHORTCUT TO EUROPE | EU EMBASSIES' OPEN HOUSE DAY

On Saturday, May 13th, 2017 the Embassies of the European Union and the EU Delegation to the United States open their doors to the public for the annual EU Embassies’ Open House: A day of family fun, food, culture and more. The event offers visitors a rare look inside the embassies and provides a unique opportunity for them to experience the cultural heritage and national traditions of the 28 member countries.

Austria is known for many beautiful things: High-caffeine drinks, spring water straight from the mountains, scenic regions and Alpine vistas, specialties, satisfying the sweet and savory tooth, music, that makes you dance (in three-quarter time) … and wine has been made here for millennia. #AustriansAbroad in America are fueled by these. See what they are up to. 

When: Saturday, May 13, 2017 | 10 am – 4 pm
Where: Embassy of Austria, 3524 International Court, NW, Washington, DC, 20008

On September 19, 2018 we hosted a screening of the Austrian-German documentary @freelunchsociety, a film about universal basic income by the Austrian filmmaker and economist Christian Tod, followed by a Salongespräch/panel discussion with the director and Ugo Gentilini (World Bank) and Nathanael Goldberg (Innovations for Poverty Action), which was moderated by Vanessa E. Beary (American University Kogod School of Business). Thank you for joining us for this thought-provoking evening! Here some impressions 📸
#YoungArtist Stefan Tiefengraber studies “Interface Culture” at @kunstunilinz / University of Art and Design Linz, a lively professional and academic research institution that has as its core values the fundamental freedom of art and research, bridging between practice and research, and a strong commitment to modernism and contemporary art. The school especially aims to foster in their students the ability to transfer knowledge between different types of media. 📸 © Nina Wenhart
Universal Basic Income: Do you know which countries and municipalities have already introduced some form of it? What does automation have to do with it? Answers may be found in the movie #freelunchsociety by Austrian director Christian Tod. The #acfwashington will host a screening on September 19, 7pm at the #austrianembassywashington. Vanessa Beary from #kogodschoolofbusiness will moderate a panel discussion, or Salongespräch as it's called in Austria, following the movie. Senior Economist Ugo Gentilini from the World Bank and Program Director of the Social Protection Program Nathaneal Goldberg from #innovationsforpovertyaction will be our guests. Come and join as well!
Have you ever thought of folk music as a propaganda tool? We are in the midst of preparing for a lecture on this very role of music, as a strategy of cultural policy in Nazi Germany. The event will be taking place tomorrow (10-04-18, 07:00pm) at the ACF Washington. For more, including a recent interview with speaker, musicologist / research fellow Bernhard Achhorner, visit bit.ly/2wGv7Hb.
