International UNESCO Chairs Conference
Friedrich Schiller University Jena
What can our lives and our living together look like in the future that is permeated by sustainability? What can a culture of sustainability look like?
These questions were debated at the international conference of German UNESCO Chairs organized by the UNESCO Chair on Global Understanding for Sustainability (Jena) and the UNESCO Chair on Transcultural Music Studies at the Franz Liszt Musikhochschule (Weimar). Representatives of UNESCO Chairs, artists, and international organizations such as the Club of Rome, the World Academy of Arts & Sciences, and the International Council for Philosophy and Humanities participated. One of the central topics of the conference was the implementation of The Jena Declaration. The events took place at the University of Jena and the Dornburg Castles.
