Save the date: Kultursymposium Weimar 2021 on »Generations«
On 16 and 17 June 2021 at the third Kultursymposium Weimar, the Goethe- Institut will pursue the issue of Generations. A global perspective is the aim with guests from culture, academics, industry, media and politics such as behavioural scientist Jane Goodall, sociologist and sexual therapist Ruth Westheimer and the historian and activist Rutger Bregman. This year, the Kultursymposium Weimar will be held online and supplemented by selected events in Weimar and at Goethe-Instituts worldwide. The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is partnering with the Goethe-Institut for the art project »Rewilding«.
From the rapid progression of climate change to political reforms, from loud protests for equality to silent transfers of influence and wealth, from time- honoured traditions to the longing for eternal youth: The theme of Generations connects many of the debates and conflicts of our era, which the 2021 Kultursymposium Weimar will take up using three thematic focal points:
Conflict & Cooperation asks how generations argue amongst and stand up for each other. Sustainability & the Future addresses how the conflicting goals of sustainability and growth can be reconciled. Identity & Memory focuses on narratives from the past that continue to impact the present and influence our self-image and perception. The Kultursymposium Weimar illuminates the diversity of the topic in online debates, interviews and digital performances with prominent voices tuning in live from all over the world at www.goethe.de/kultursymposium/en.
