Québec-Bayern Forum 2025
"Sustainability and social responsibility - culture-specific and intercultural perspectives"
3rd Québec-Bayern Forum, Passau
For the third time, the Chair of Intercultural Communication will host the Québec-Bavaria Forum at the University of Passau on May 20, 2025 - with a focus on “Sustainability and Social Responsibility - Culture-Specific and Intercultural Perspectives”. You can view a preliminary program here.
Sustainability in its various dimensions - ecological, social and economic - is a highly relevant topic that is also characterized by intercultural perspectives. In a globalized world, questions of social justice in particular should increasingly be considered from an intercultural perspective, for example in the context of migration. The targeted focus of our event on all dimensions of sustainability allows for a holistic understanding of the topic and is further enriched by the comparison of culturally specific perspectives from Bavaria and Quebec. As part of the overarching theme of global change, the forum contributes to a better understanding of the dynamics of today's world, as well as creating links between societies, cultures and their representatives, which can have an impact in the field of sustainability beyond the event itself.
The varied program makes it possible to explore and discuss the topic from different perspectives (research - teaching - practice; Québec - Bavaria).
- reflect current research results and experiences related to Bavaria and Québec as impulses,
- conduct an interdisciplinary and intercultural dialog that can strengthen cooperation between stakeholders from different sectors in Québec and Bavaria,
- promote scholarly dialog and networking between different target groups (students, companies, academia, public institutions).
