In this lecture, we want to look at climate change from two perspectives and raise the question of which demands can be formulated for society from those both perspectives. Dr. Sunke Schmidtko from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel will explain climate change from the view of oceanology, Prof. Dr. Melanie Groß from the Faculty of Social Work and Health of the UAS Kiel will explore the question of social transformation as a social perspective from the view of social sciences. After that, we want to engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue together with the participants.

Greetings by Nelly Waldeck from Fridays for Future

Our ocean is our future

Dr. Sunke Schmidtko (GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel)

The people are closely connected to the ocean through their development history. The ocean is for example irreplaceable as a transport route and food resource but exposed to major changes due to climate change. The ocean as a score component of our climate system has absorbed approx. 93% of global warming. Aspects of the cohabitation of oceans and humans are examined and recent scientific findings on changes in the oceans explained. The final question will be: How can we shape our future with the ocean?

»Nobody is talking about revolution anymore!«
Future and transformation – Sociological perspectives on climate change

Prof. Dr. Melanie Groß (UAS Kiel, Faculty of Social Work and Health)

Climate change has not found wide consideration in sociological debates although it has been present for many years in social work in discourses like “Education for Sustainable Development” or with the keyword “Sustainability”. The urgency of the topic is today negotiated under the keyword of “transformation”, though some positions ask for radical cutbacks in the living environments of the privileged. In this presentation, you will learn about the debate and the question of how we can shape the future when we consider the fact that limitless economic growth is accompanied by a maximum exploitation of ecological and human resources.

Local added value in open children and youth work

Open children and youth work takes place in more than 200 large and small institutions in the state. Subsequently to the week of OKJA 2013 under the motto “Free-room-education”, the new regional network OKJA SH was founded. Education is one of the most common mentioned topics in politics while especially open children and youth work with its professional standard and wide-ranging educational offers contributes to reaching and accompaning young people, in addition to classic educational programmes. Accordingly, the new regional network OKJA-SH wants to draw the attention to this elementary and school-independent educational work.

We invite you to discuss the added value of open children and youth work for your municipality and develop perspectives with us.

What is Good Teaching? Innovative Impulses for Gender- and Diversity-Sensible Teaching and Study Models

2nd International Conference on the quality of teaching at the UAS Kiel on the 16^th and 17^th May 2013

Are innovative study models or teaching and learning projects appropriate to improve teaching under perspectives of gender and diversity sensibility? Which teaching and learning formats are most suitable, to include the different competencies and experiences of students equally? What university-didactical concepts are enabling different learning accesses?

These questions are the focus of the 2^nd conference on quality of teaching at the UAS Kiel. The background of the conference is the challenge for universities, to develop didactical concepts that support gender differences, diversity and heterogenous learning needs of the student body productively and also reduce discrimination. International speakers introduce various strategies and their experience with innovative study models and teaching/ learning projects.

What is Good Teaching? Conference on the quality of teaching 05./06. May 2011

The quality of teaching is a highly topical and central issue of university development: modularisation, competence orientation, the conversion of diploma to bachelor’s and master’s degrees, dealing with diversity are only a few cornerstones in which discourses are discussing what is good education and what especially is good university education. At the conference, we want to explore the question of which paths we as a university of applied sciences can take to implement a qualified further education of modularisation and competence orientation. To do so, we have invited scientists who will talk about their research and university development projects and discuss them with us.

Workshop Day: Gender and Work

Date: 28.04.2010

Organizers: Prof. Dr. Melanie Groß, Prof. Dr. Melanie Plößer, Kerstin Schoneboom

Within the workshop day on the topic “Gender & Work”, we want to enable insights into critical perspectives on paid and care work which are formulated in the context of feminist sociology and gender and migration research. For this, we will deal with two topics:

On the one hand we will ask what gender and work have to do with each other. To answer this question, we need to clarify the term work: What is work? Is work always meant as paid activity or shouldn’t we use a more precise term like employment? What about reproduction activities like care work? Can these activities only be called work if they are paid? Who is doing what work or “Who is cleaning up”?

On the other hand, we also want to question which action opportunities people have that are subjected to the demands of neoliberal societies, to market themselves in an optimal way and become creators of their own happiness. What role does the category gender play here?

Pop Culture, Capitalism Critique and Resistance - Feminist Perspectives

8th March 2010 – Cultural Forum Stadtgalerie 14.00 - 18.00 hrs.

More and more young women are organised in NGOs, alternative or autonomous centres or self-made cultural spaces instead of making the march through institutions. How it is possible to again enable a stronger exchange between various feminist and queer feminist approaches and politics? To have such dialogue, referents provide insights in various areas where feminists and queer feminists work socio-politically.

The goal of the event is to initiate a socio-politically dispute for which we do not have time (anymore) in our daily lives. We want to get feminist and queer feminist thinkers and activists from different generations, occupations, life situations and political directions into discourse.

We invite all people that are interested to join our discussion: all genders welcome!
