An article series trying to answer the question, can Colorado glean insights for local policy ideas and reforms by looking internationally? Colorado is not alone in facing various challenges, and exploring effective solutions and valuable lessons learned from other nations can facilitate a more comprehensive conversation.

The aim is to start a conversation and generate interest in looking at global practices that can enhance Colorado systems. Over time, the objective is to shift the thinking about where policy ideas can come from so that policymakers and their constituents can choose from a diverse pool of ideas and inputs locally and abroad.

GILR has been a speaker series of the Young Professionals Committee within the Denver Council on Foreign Relations for the past year, and the reception has been highly positive. Both the panelists who have spoken at these events and the audience have expressed a desire to continue the series as it fills a noticeable gap in U.S. policymaking. If you’re interested in learning more about the ongoing speaker series, please take a look at the Denver Council on Foreign Relations website.
