How can I make a difference?
Our own central event with Raul Krauthausen will take place on Wednesday 24 May from 2 to 4 pm in the conference room in the new seminar building. How does political protest become political action? How can I, as an individual, exert influence? How do we manage to step out of our own context to reach many people and initiate real change? Feel free to join our discussion with Raul Krauthausen!
(Sign language and written interpretation is available for this event.)
