Strengthening Active Citizenship and New Care Cultures

URBI Talk

Science with practice in dialogue (NOW! URBI Science Talk)

22 January 2024, 16:00-18:00

Mozartgasse 3, 8010 Graz, Festsaal Meerscheinschlössl

A joint event of the Institute of Education (Department of Migration, Diversity and Education), the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Ageing and Care (CIRAC) and the Institute of Pastoral Theology (Department of Public Care).


Welcome: Dean Univ.-Prof. Dr. Andrea Steiner
Introduction: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Annette Sprung
Assoz.-Prof. Dr. Klaus Jürgen Wegleitner


Content of the event
Everyone is talking about buzzwords such as citizen science or socially relevant science (third mission) - but what does it actually mean to research, learn and change social conditions together with citizens? The URBI Science Talk invites you to discuss the conditions for strengthening social participation, active citizenship and care cultures with the help of concrete project insights. In the projects, ways of joint research with citizens on the topics of ageing, care, migration, active citizenship and caring communities will be tested. In addition to short impulses from practice and science, we invite you to an open exchange and in-depth discussion in which we want to explore, among other things, how joint research can contribute to a more democratic and caring culture.
