"Recovery needs to be learned - training what is actually self-evident" - this is the title of the short lecture with which the educationalist Dr Johann Bölts will open the autumn semester of the Uni am Markt on Saturday, 28 September at 11.00 a.m. in the Exerzierhalle at Oldenburg's Pferdemarkt. The public lecture series is a co-operation project between the Centre for Lifelong Learning (C3L) at Oldenburg University and the Oldenburg State Theatre.
Bölts' lecture is about the "round-the-clock involvement" that increasingly characterises today's (working) life. Informal "brown bag meetings" during lunchtime and so-called "learn & lunch appointments" fill the last gaps in the work process. Working life is also characterised by the desideratum of constant availability. Attempts to counteract these developments through "work-life balance" and "life balance at work" and to harmonise work and private life all too often remain a waste of time. The lecture is intended as a plea for sensible behaviour between the poles of work and relaxation.
