Margarete Imhof and Timo Graffe in Mainz: Lecture on Acting in Multiple Crises

Between Climate Crisis and Education: A Lecture with Significance at JGU

On January 18, 2027, a topic that shapes both the literary and cultural discourse of our time as well as the education debate will take center stage at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz: How can knowledge of the climate crisis translate into effective action? Prof. Dr. Margarete Imhof and Timo Graffe combine educational psychology, sustainability, and the question of effective responsibility in this lecture. The event is part of the VOICES FOR CLIMATE series, which discusses the climate crisis in an interdisciplinary manner with a view towards necessary action.

Education as the Key to Change

The evening does not start with abstract buzzwords, but with the practical question of how learning processes can culminate in readiness for action. Imhof and Graffe provide an educational psychological perspective on the stages of action and demonstrate what measures foster development. This gives the lecture a clear intellectual tension: it thinks of climate not only as a crisis but as a task for schools, universities, and society.

Interdisciplinary, Approachable, Discussion-Rich

VOICES FOR CLIMATE sees itself as a lecture series that consolidates perspectives and does not view the status quo as a final point. The attendees will experience a lecture atmosphere in which interactive tools and discussion and Q&A rounds are explicitly part of the format. This creates closeness, intellectual movement, and a space where scientific expertise meets immediate applicability.
