The 2024 workshop program
Populism is a basic political attitude that stands in radical opposition to the ruling political/social elites and claims to know and represent the “true” will of the people. Populist actors can undermine the normal functioning of democratic competition and poison political debate. In this workshop we will therefore address the following questions: How can you recognize populism? What dangers do populist statements pose to democratic coexistence? How can one argue against populism?

Whether at work or at university, those who work until they can't do any more expose themselves to unnecessary stress and perform less well. The longer we wait to take a break, the less rest it offers us. Those who know ways to help themselves are more confident and experience less stress. Psychology calls this mental resistance: resilience.
Companies respond differently to the needs of employees. We can discuss how to recognize what a company offers and what attitude it has towards keeping employees healthy.
