In addition to stimulating critical thinking, combining theory and practice and thinking about opportunities and possibilities, the seminar is a great opportunity for one's own commitment and to get to know future professions.

For this seminar, 3 ECTS can be credited in the area of key qualification, for the certificate Global Awareness or in the micro-programme Global Awareness.

Important: The registration for this seminar does not take place via ALMA, but directly via the CIVIS website.

This course discusses the topic of democratic collective memory from an international and transdisciplinary perspective, including psychology, law, political science, history, sociology, pedagogy, archaeology and cultural studies. By promoting cooperation within the CIVIS network, students are made aware that global democratic problems do not have easy solutions and require collaboration between different academic specializations and different stakeholders. Furthermore, the contact with researchers and students from different countries promotes the development of critical thinking and opens up new opportunities for international agreements as well as European and global solutions.
