Lecture Series

Under the title "Nachgefragt: Was braucht eine zukunftsfähige Lehrer*innenbildung?" (Inquired: What does a sustainable teacher education need?), the following questions were answered in this lecture series: Do teachers need certain personality traits, the right genes, to be able to teach well? What does cooperation in school and university mean? How can one learn to conduct problem-solving classroom discussions? How do I recognise educational myths and why are they a problem? What relevance do aesthetic educational processes have in school, also beyond art lessons, and how can student teachers acquire competences to stimulate, accompany and reflect on these processes?

In episode 6 of our science podcast "WortMelder", we talked to Professor Gerd Mannhaupt about what makes a good teacher, how Germany is doing in terms of digitisation in education, but also how schools will change in the course of digitisation and what the University of Erfurt can contribute to a future-proof school - in short: about "Digitalisierung in der Lehrerbildung".

In the summer semester of 2021, the University of Erfurt and the University of Applied Sciences will once again jointly organise a public lecture series - for Corona reasons as an online event. This time, the topic will be "Gardens: History, Form, Future" (Gärten: Geschichte, Gestalt, Zukunft) and is deliberately planned as a kind of supporting event for the BUGA 2021 in Erfurt.

An interdisciplinary approach has been chosen for the event, which opens up historical-philosophical, sociological, pedagogical, literary and natural science perspectives and also establishes local references to the topic. Experts from the university, the university of applied sciences and from institutions outside Erfurt are looking forward to discussing with the participants topics such as gardens in Epicurus or in the Bible, Baroque or Indian gardens, the role of Benary for horticulture, the urban gardening movement, the school garden or even the future of the garden in the city.

The organising team of Alexander Thumfart, Sandra Tänzer and Bettina Hollstein, says:

"We are very much looking forward to the varied programme and exciting learning experiences about a topic as significant in Erfurt's history and present as the garden."

The lecture series starts on 13 April and will then take place as a digital format every Tuesday from 6.15 to 7.45 pm. You will find the access link on this website shortly before each event.
