The topic of this lecture series is “Animal-specific basic rights for animals as part of the rule of law”. The speaker is Dr. Eisenhart von Loeper. Since 2002, animal protection has been enshrined in the Basic Law and is one of the obligatory tasks of our society in Germany. In addition, protective measures for the preservation of individuals and animal species are also regulated at EU level. This event will shed light on why the relationship between humans and animals is so important and how human closeness to animals can promote health.

In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on environmental awareness and interest in climate protection at universities. Even though this has resulted in very successful formats to date, the direct relationship between humans and animals has not yet been sufficiently addressed in university contexts. In an increasingly complex world, it also makes sense not to look at major challenges in isolation. The lecture series of the Chair of Didactics and Educational Research in Healthcare and the Junior Professorship for Digital Health therefore refers to the synthesis "human-animal relationship" and offers a far-reaching platform for a comprehensive discussion and examination of the diverse aspects of animal welfare, environmental awareness and ethics.

You can register online. Participation is free of charge.
