New "Education for Democracy" workshop series

With a new series of events, the Department "Social Studies and Science and its Didactics / Educational Gardens and their Didactics" and the "Lernwerkstatt" at the University of Erfurt are responding to the need among students and lecturers to reflect together on current challenges facing our democracy and to exchange views on these from different perspectives. 

To this end, the following workshops will take place in the Lernwerkstatt during the 2026/27 winter term:

  • Thursday, 26 November, 4 pm
    to 6 pm: How sensible is a ban on the AfD? Pros and cons
  • Thursday, 10 December, 4 pm
    to 6 pm Populism: a problem? An opportunity? What are the causes?
  • Thursday, 14 January, 4 pm
    to 6 pm Disrupted discourse: Why is it (sometimes) so difficult to talk to one another about politics?

The lectures will be held in German language by Dr Christian Fischer. The events are based on selected excerpts from political and academic texts, which will be read, examined and discussed together. Anyone interested is warmly invited to attend. Please register by emailing lernwerkstatt@uni-erfurt.de.
