The True Scripture of the Southern Florescence
Wed, 27.1.2021, 17:00 - 18:00
Philosophical Zoom Café
The True Scripture of the Southern Florescence is besides the Daodejing one of the most important texts among philosophical Daoism. The book is attributed to Zhuangzi - a legendary master and thinker from China. Though, still largely unknown in the west, the book is one of the literary and philosophical highlights of China and world literature. It is told in parables, thoughts, anecdotes and dialogues. Selected extracts from the seven inner chapters of Zhuangzi are read and discussed in this zoom café. Thus, we are pleased to welcome all curious and interested people who would like to get to know a sometimes mystical-narrative, sometimes poetic, again and again humorous text that is dedicated to a simple, natural and flourishing philosophy of life.

Youth Protests and Social Change
Resistance releases the power needed for change. It is a phenomenon that is inherent in all human beings - probably in every living being. But what empowers us as individuals and as a society to take action against something? Is the impetus of outrage enough to make protest possible, or does it require resources and special knowledge? How do these protests look like, and how youth protests have developed recently? Young rebels opens up several spaces to learn about current resistant good practice initiatives of young people.
