Cultural policy researcher Zsuzsa Koltai is working in Görlitz as part of the Saxony Guest Researcher Program to clarify the question: How do we want to live together peacefully in the future?
The Faculty of Management and Cultural Studies at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences was successful in the Saxony Visiting Scholar Program. On November 10, our visiting professor Zsuzsa Koltai, a cultural policy researcher at the University of Pécs, will introduce herself to the university public. She is conducting research in Görlitz on the topic of resilience building using the example of the Upper Lusatian museum landscape and will be co-supervising the largest group of female doctoral students at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences (WKp - doctorate in the field of cultural policy).
Professor Koltai and her host, Prof. Matthias Theodor Vogt, can invite other female researchers from all over the world as part of the program - from Germany, Poland, Austria, Georgia, Mongolia, Japan, Cameroon and Uganda. Students and citizens are cordially invited to discuss the opportunities and challenges of intercultural openness with them at the "Meeting Point Interculturality" on Thursdays, November 10 and December 8 in the Görlitz auditorium of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences. Together with the cooperation partners City of Görlitz, Kulturraum, G.HH. Theater, Senckenberg Museum and EuropaChorAkademie, we cordially invite you to join us!
In his foreword, District Administrator Dr. Stephan Meyer emphasized: "The necessity of cross-border exchange for peaceful coexistence, especially in the field of art and culture, is beyond question, and the proof is provided every day by a glance at the newspaper. Here in the European City of Görlitz/Zgorzelec, you can experience at first hand how living together across borders can work, what obstacles there are, what challenges we face and what contribution art and culture can make. By meeting to develop strategies together, you will be making a valuable contribution to the further development of our society, which could not be more aptly described in the announcement of this event: 'The seminar is aimed at all those who care about the future of our human coexistence in peace and mutual understanding'. Because it is about nothing less than that: How do we want to live together peacefully in the future?"
