Augsburg’s Mayor Eva Weber speaks in the podcast “Augsburg direkt“ on the occasion of the peace festival program “375 Years of the Peace Festival” with Professor Christoph Weller about the Transfer Center Peace Augsburg, the expectations of the Peace City regarding peace and conflict research, and the opportunities that arise from conflicts and their constructive resolution.
Promoting peace as part of urban culture – the Chair of Political Science, Peace and Conflict Research at the University of Augsburg also contributes to this effort. That is why the latest episode of “Augsburg direkt” centers around peace, as discussed by Mayor Eva Weber and Prof. Dr. Christoph Weller.
What does it actually mean to be a Peace City – beyond ceremonial occasions? How can peace be lived, researched, and translated into practice in everyday life? Why is this particularly exciting in Augsburg? How has our understanding of peace changed? And what is the new Transfer Center Peace Augsburg all about?
In the conversation between Weber and Weller, the focus is on the potential of constructive conflict resolution and where it is needed within an urban society. They explore how academic research and practical action work hand in hand to promote peace as a part of diverse urban culture – and how the Transfer Center Peace Augsburg connects the university and the city in Augsburg, the Peace City.
The Chair of Political Science, Peace and Conflict Research at the University of Augsburg, headed by Prof. Dr. Christoph Weller, is a member of the research network Conflicts.Meanings.Transitions.
