Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Frederik Poppe
Skills / Course Content: Esperanto, a constructed international auxiliary language created in the late 19th century by L. L. Zamenhof, has been associated with the peace movement. The proponents of Esperanto believe that a common language could contribute to better international understanding and collaboration. By removing language barriers, it becomes easier for people from different countries and cultures to connect and share ideas. Esperanto emerged during a time of great political tensions and conflicts in Europe. Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto, hoped that a shared language could help bridge divides and promote peace in a world torn by nationalism and ethnic conflicts.
While Esperanto has not become a global language, and its impact on the peace movement is debated, its ideals align with the vision of fostering international understanding and cooperation to contribute to a more peaceful world. Nationalist tendencies have regained strength in today's Europe. The seminar will discuss the relevance of language in the context of peace policy today.
Students will gain basic insights into the artificial language Esperanto and learn basic vocabulary.

Skills / Course Content: ¡°How can I help you to get rid of me?¡± ¡°How could you worsen your situation?¡± Although rather unusual at a first glance, these questions are an integral part of the standard repertoire of questions used when applying methods, theories, and mindsets of systemic social work. It is a solution and resource-oriented approach, which is of great importance to social work. It is based on a constructivist view of the world as well an understanding that people have ¡°eigensinn¡± (ownership of their own perspectives), i.e. they are autonomous. In addition to unusual questions, many other tools of systemic social work will be used in this seminar. By taking part in exercises in small groups, participants will get the opportunity to become familiar with the systemic social work approach and explore its effectiveness and benefits. Throughout the four-day course, active participation is the prerequisite for obtaining credits.
