Demonstration gegen Rechts am HBF

In view of the current transformation processes in the economy, ecology and work, which are profoundly challenging social institutions and the shared values of a social democracy, the network of labour and trade union research at the universities of the Ruhr (UAR) is organising the public event series "Work and Democracy" in cooperation with IG Metall, the RUB Academy for Co-Determination and the DGB-Bildungswerk Bund.

On six evenings in April to June 2024, the interactions between labour and democracy will be examined in more detail against the backdrop of current transformation processes.

In view of the current transformation processes in the economy, ecology and work, which are profoundly challenging social institutions and the shared values of a social democracy, the network of labour and trade union research at the universities of the Ruhr (UAR) is organising the public event series "Work and Democracy" in cooperation with IG Metall, the RUB Academy for Co-Determination and the DGB-Bildungswerk Bund.

On six evenings in April to June 2024, the interactions between labour and democracy will be examined in more detail against the backdrop of current transformation processes.


Together with experts from labour and trade union research, the aim is to discuss the close connection between work, co-determination and social recognition with a broad public. Gainful employment is not only the means of securing a material livelihood and social participation, but also the central social institution in which the recognition of different interests and cooperative forms of conflict resolution are learnt and practised. A working environment based on mutual recognition and solidarity promotes the democratic development of a society.

The lectures always take place on Tuesdays in hybrid form in the atrium of the O-Werk (Suttner-Nobel-Allee 4, Bochum) and via Zoom and are open to all interested parties free of charge. For your free participation in the Academy at the O-Werk Bochum on site or as a Zoom guest, please register in advance.
