For the last time this spring, 8 to 12-year-olds can go on a journey into the world of science on Wednesday, 21 March at 4.30 pm. They will meet many courageous people who have fought for peace between religions over the centuries.
Theologian Prof. Dr Andrea Strübind will talk about "Christians in the fight for human rights" on Wednesday, 21 March at 4.30 pm in the Audimax of the Lecture Hall Centre - and ask some tricky questions along the way. What do you believe in? What distinguishes religions from one another? Why do some people believe in one god and others in many gods? And: Why are there still places in the world today where people do not have the right and freedom to live according to their beliefs?
What many KinderUni students probably don't know either: There is a UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. What is it actually and what does it have to do with freedom of belief? If you want answers to these questions, you should quickly secure a ticket for the lecture.
Tickets (2 euros) for the lecture are available from Nordwest Ticket GmbH on 0421/363636 and 01805/361136 (14 c/min.) as well as from the NWZ offices. Admission to the lecture theatre centre on Uhlhornsweg is from 4.00 pm. Accompanying adults can follow the event as usual on a screen in the foyer of the building. The Malteser Hilfsdienst will provide security on site.
Anyone who would like to familiarise themselves with the topic of the lecture now has the opportunity to do so in all Oldenburg district libraries and in the youth library (Peterstraße). Special book tables have been set up here.
Media partners of the KinderUniversität Oldenburg are the Nordwest-Zeitung, NDR 1 Niedersachsen and Radio Bremen Vier. The project is supported by Landessparkasse zu Oldenburg (LzO), Nordmetall, the business association "Der Kleine Kreis e.V." and "Junge Öffentliche".
