Lecture at Harvard
In February, Prof. Dr. Birte Platow and her Catholic colleague substitute professor PD Dr. Jan-Hendrik Herbst were invited to Harvard to give a lecture on "Eastern Germany as a Laboratory for Democratic Education. Religion sensitive case-based".
The research trip served in particular as preparation for the Freiraum project "Kasuistische Demokratiebildung im Lehramt"(https://tu-dresden.de/gsw/phil/ikt/religionspaed/die-professur/news/kasuistische-demokratiebildung-im-lehramt-freiraum-projekt-startet-im-april) and networking with Meira Levinson's EdEthics team(https://www.justiceinschools.org/).
