"Urgently Wanted: Freedom of Learning and Research" Discussion of a Work-in-Progress with Off University
Tuesday, November 26, 2024 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm CET/GMT+1W15 Café
This event is part of a Berlin-based project, part of the Wissenschaftsjahr 2024 (Year of Science) initiative by the Federal Ministry for Education Research.
During summer and autumn 2024, Off University carried out artistic collaborative research on the freedom of learning, research, higher education and professional training for New Berliners.
Two groups led by experienced artist-educators, conducted field research on the barriers to access higher education and research in Berlin and documented them in a video and radio play. Join the discussion, learn, watch and hear more about the results of this process!

Off University is a self-organization of politically persecuted scholars that seeks new strategies to uphold academic life and knowledge threatened by anti-democratic and authoritarian regimes.
