Challenging issues of our time such as climate change, the biodiversity crisis, social inequality, and sustainable development can only be solved when we work together. With the question of gender equity, we are tackling a continuing aspect of social injustice in the new issue of our university magazine. The focus is on Orange Days – an annual campaign launched by the UN in 1991 to combat violence against women, which students participated in with an interdisciplinary scenographic project in Mainz’s cityscape.
The topics in the issue range from an international project on the digital preservation of our cultural heritage to the innovative use of smartphones in home nursing care and the question of the relevance of visual imagination for creative work.
The print edition of Forum is available in the Holzstrasse foyer, in the Magistrale on campus, and in the LUX Pavilion.
