Symposium Perspectives on Political Education

Encounters generate spontaneous reactions that are constantly re-evaluated. They form the basis of democratic coexistence in our society. This year’s Perspectives on Political Education symposium symposium aims to show that art can act as a medium to positively influence such encounters. It confronts us with the unexpected and demands new perspectives. Engaging with art can help us think and experience the new, and help us broaden our perspectives.

Various formats at the intersection of politics, art, technology and society are intended to initiate encounters of different kinds. In addition to keynote speeches and discussions, the festival events will also be in the spotlight. Participants are invited to take a tour of the festival and then reflect on the artworks and their potential for the educational landscape and a democratic society.
