Welcome to the Atlantic Forum.

Let us Introduce Ourselves.

The Atlantic Forum is a startup grassroots initiative set up by a group of alumni from various young leader groups in the Transatlantic Community and Pantheon Consultancy. We act as a forum for debate in which young professionals can realize common interests and democratic goals in the security environment of the 21st century.

It has grown to become a large network of young professionals who are interested in international security policies. Atlantic Forum's vision is to be the leading youth network to foster the values of democracy, rule of law, liberty, peace and security, and reinforce the transatlantic link.

We strive to draw together the young leaders of today and tomorrow and we see it as our mission to bridge the gap between the policy level and civil society. We focus on dynamic youth engagement and transatlantic cooperation in areas of international security and defence through:

  • The enhancement of debate and education within the general population;

  • The engagement and development of youth to be active participants as well as responsible decision and opinion makers in the constantly changing security environment;

  • And the strengthening of youth visibility and influence through the facilitation of network building between policymakers and civil society.

Atlantic Forum offers education and promotes cooperation among youth in NATO Allied and Partner countries and EU Member and Partner, in an effort to create responsible future leaders who have an understanding of and are committed to the values in the North Atlantic Treaty and the Euro-Atlantic Community at large.

Our History.

What better gift to give to the alliance on their 70th birthday then a renewed effort to promote NATO and transatlantic values across the Euro-Atlantic Community (including Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, NATOs Mediterranean Dialogue, Istanbul Cooperation Initiative, and Partners across the Globe)? The Atlantic Forum launched on the 4th of April 2019..

Guiding Principles.

Volunteerism provides the foundation for Atlantic Forum and is therefore a precondition for the success of the organization. To a large extent, our network consists of young professionals, resesrchers and students who contribute their time to improving our global community by drawing attentions to important issues, being constructively critical of decision-makers, promoting dialog and thereby impacting agendas. Strong academic and social networks made up of dedicated individuals are created on all levels while working toward a common cause.

  • Open dialogue is an important part of how and why we involve young people, namely in the belief that if two individuals have engaged in civil dialogue, hostility between them is less likely. We make questions of global security more relevant to younger generations. We provide a forum for factual well-informed discussion by educating and facilitating debates that develop ideas which we can help to communicate through various channels.

  • Development and leadership are central to ensuring that our volunteers are constantly developing skills and being challenged. With the help of good leadership and personal development structures we work to recognize and motivate our volunteers. The organizational skills and political knowledge developed within the Atlantic Forum, as well as the ability to communicate with, manage, and motivate individuals from a wide array of countries and cultures, are competencies that prepare our volunteers for the future as leaders and catalysts of change.
