Events, activities and projects of political and democratic education at the HSZG (from March 2024)
With this overview, we would like to provide you with information on the topics of democracy and evidence-based political education at HSZG in and for our region. It covers activities that are primarily organized by HSZG members and offered on an optional or extracurricular basis.
The goal is to raise greater awareness of the university’s responsibility as an educational and research institution in the spirit of the Third Mission within this field as well, to promote dialogue between the university and society in the region as well as exchange within the university, and to create new points of connection.
The overview provides information on activities in four categories:
- Teaching and educational events at the HSZG
- HSZG events in the region—public and collaborative
- Research and knowledge transfer projects
- Publications and initiatives on political and democratic education
In that case, please send a brief message to research(at)hszg.de and we’ll be happy to include it in our overview.
