Die Welt verstehen – Wissen, das verbindet

In the organizer's words:

Our world is full of terms that we use all the time, but of which we have no common understanding. What are the facts - and where does opinion begin? Together we clarify terms that shape our world view and create a basic scientific understanding - across all educational and age levels, because: Knowledge connects! If you are curious, ask real questions and want to understand the world better together with others, this is the right place for you.

This series of courses is hybrid, i.e. you can take part in person or online. You can therefore choose between the "face-to-face" and "online" variants when booking in the shopping cart.

  Understanding the world: What is knowledge?with Dr. Oliver Brokel

  Knowledge" is also something of which we have a rough idea, but which is worth taking a closer look at. We look at its beginnings, its modern form and its embodiment in scientific practice. You can expect a short cultural history of knowledge with one or two surprising insights and a few philosophical highlights that will inspire you to think further. Moderator: Raphael Wiegand, MVHS

  Understanding the world: What is matter?with Dr. Moritz Dorband

  Everything around us is made of matter - including ourselves. But what is matter? Most people are familiar with atoms. They consist of an atomic nucleus with protons and neutrons and an electron shell - and can combine chemically to form molecules. This is how the incredible variety of substances in animate and inanimate nature is created. But the further we go into detail, the more mysterious matter becomes: Why are atoms primarily empty? What holds them together at their core? Why are we made up of 99% energy, and why does 1+1 not equal 2? Moderator: Lydia Weinberger, MVHS

  Understanding the world: What is spirituality?with Jana Schäfer

  Feng Shui, Christian mysticism, chakra teachings, meditation weekends, New Age gurus, Buddha figures ... all of this is often relegated to the realm of spirituality today. For many people, a sometimes very "open" spirituality replaces their ties to an institutional religious community. Where does the term "spirituality" come from? And what does it mean under the current socio-economic circumstances? Can we even speak of a "spirituality industry" that no longer has much to do with religion? Moderation: Dr. Robert Mucha, MVHS

  Understanding the world: What is democracy?with Franz Maget

  What does democracy mean - and how does it stay alive? We ask not only about the origin and use of the term, but above all about what it means for us here and now. The foundations of political participation and responsibility will be discussed: by citizens, politicians and the media. Current challenges posed by populism and social division will also be discussed. Moderator: Andrea Kugler, MVHS
