Like every healthy movement, the Social & Solidarity Economy (SSE) needs structures and tools that promote its principles and ensure its autonomy. Unfortunately, with regard to the tools it uses, it remains captive to the various ‘closed’ technologies it is supplied with by mainstream companies. To realize how important that is, one must take into account the crucial difference between open and closed technologies. What differentiates the former from the latter is the freedoms they provide to end users.

Workshops about Hate Speech
The workshops in November will inaugurate a new project that Centre for Internet and Human Rights is working on together with two organisations: La Red and agitPolska.
During the first two workshops we will try to understand better what hate speech actually is and how it works. How widespread is hate speech in Germany? What can we do against it? What kind of public sphere is conducive to democracy in the Digital Age?

The way ahead will be based on a combination of knowledge obtained remotely, using modern tools and devices, and ways of knowing that are local, experienced directly, contextual, and embodied.
When we connect with living systems emotionally, and not just rationally, and focus on the informal, the local and the conversational – things will really begin to change.

Die Veranstaltung wird gemeinsam von der „Deutschen Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina – Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften“ und der „Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf)“ in Kooperation mit dem „IUF – Leibniz-Institut für umweltmedizinische Forschung an der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf“ ausgerichtet. Die Redner bei der Veranstaltung kommen aus Deutschland, Südafrika, Brasilien, Russland, Indien und China. Darüber hinaus ist Sophie P. Bonjour Gumy, Weltgesundheitsorganisation aus Genf für eine „Evening Keynote“ mit anschließendem Empfang zu Gast.

One way to empower local communities and their regional economies to manifest their visions of a better future is to re-localize production and consumption and thereby strengthen regional economies.
There is an important role for international trade and global exchange of goods and services, but not when it comes to meeting basic regional needs. Wherever feasible we should meet our needs as locally or regionally as possible and restrict the global exchange of goods to those that cannot be produced in a particular place.

Der „Tag der Lehre“ lenkt einmal im Jahr den Blick darauf, welche Beispiele guter Lehre es an der HHU gibt und wie bereits Gutes noch besser werden kann.

·             Wie müssen Lehre und Lehrformate gestaltet sein, um ein solides Fundament für das weitere Studium und den Studienerfolg zu legen?
·             Was bietet die HHU bereits an?
