Ideology
University students taking part in the Hirschmann scholarship programme debate future topics that concern them while studying.
Concept
The project partner is the think tank foraus. foraus advocates an informed dialogue among university students: independently, scientifically, relevantly.
Students learn from thematic experts and from exchanging ideas with each other in order to analyse and discuss future topics. Listening to and understanding each other's different arguments from various walks of life forms the core of the debate.
The collaboration with foraus encourages participants to develop their own ideas for tackling a problem that affects society as a whole, to discuss these in the network and at workshops and to develop their own projects from them. The process gives rise to new solutions that can be introduced into the public debate and gain approval there.
