Description | The moral ideal of democracy is very vivid. Regardless of nation, culture and religion. People all over the world desire to live in a democratically ruled society and not in a tyranny. This ideal creates strong movements, which, however, show that it is often easier to overthrow a tyranny than to build a democratic society in which conflicts are solved not through power and violence but through thinking and peaceful, rational discussion. This symposium series is to bring together scholars and practitioners from different backgrounds to explore the possibilities of a common understanding of research findings across the different paradigms and language uses, and for promoting effective methods of moral-democratic education. The symposium is international and interdisciplinary. It speaks to researchers as well as to educational practitioners. The main language is English. Assistance for translation into and from German will be provided. Konstanz is an beautiful, old city, surrounded by an inviting country-side (Lake of Constance, Swiss Alps, medieaval monestries and castles etc.), all easily accessible by public transportation (bus, train, ship), bikes, and hiking. do not forget to bring your swimming suit along, and your passport. Switzerland, Austria, France, and Italy are nearby. See Google map |
