Content

Different actors, experts and representatives from internal and external fields of practice and professions meet here with those working in gender work, with diversity and equality officers and with those interested in politics and the subject to exchange about how feminist knowledge is represented today, how it can be shared, valued and thought about further for the future. Contributions are:

Students of the TU Dortmund University will actively contribute to the programme from study projects or accompany the event as sounding boards. In a concluding workshop, the event will be brought to a close with the method of "Presencing - leading from the future" - (Otto Scharmer, MIT). This event will give the different actors the opportunity to inform themselves, to network, to learn, to get to know theoretical as well as practice-oriented perspectives and to think together different facets and points of view.

A participation fee of 30.00 € will be charged for the three-day event at Campus Treff, Campus North. Participation is free for students.
