Atlantic Dialogues

The Policy Center for the New South has established The Atlantic Dialogues conference as a cornerstone for debate and cross-cutting dialogue, addressing topics of regional and global interest and rebalancing the South-North debate. Over the years, the conference has become a meeting point between the four continents of the Atlantic, and has sought to suggest a new understanding of Atlantic dynamics – the Wider Atlantic- underscoring the growing importance of the South Atlantic in the global geopolitical debate, and building bridges between Africa and South America, in dialogue with Europe and North America. The vision of this event is therefore to gather perspectives from across the Atlantic and create an inclusive platform where the North actively listens to and engages with voices from the South, hence contributing to bridging the South-North divide and to a new articulation of South-North and South-South cooperation frameworks. The aim of the conference is to foster a safe and efficient space for cross-sectoral and cross regional discussions through bold, uninhibited, and frank debate. Through the Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders program, the conference also allows for intergenerational dialogue as it brings together annually 40 young change-makers from across the Atlantic who take part in a policy, leadership and networking program and attend the conference to fill in the generational and perception gaps.

Since its inception, The Atlantic Dialogues has brought together over 2000 eminent leaders, experts, and policymakers from across the globe with a vested interest in reshaping the narrative, with a strong focus on voices from the South, of which a community of over 400 Emerging Leaders from over 70 nationalities. This diverse community is committed to challenging persistent biases and perceptions about the Atlantic, striving for a more balanced narrative. The Atlantic Dialogues continually pushes the envelope, questioning the status quo and offering fresh insights into the complex issues facing the (Wider) Atlantic and the world.
