Organizing Team 2021
As a team, we placed high value on pluralist education and diversity. Since we have all participated in the first Online Summer Academy in 2020, we knew what it felt like to spend the Summer Academy in front of the computer. By drawing on our own experiences, we aimed to make the Summer Academy 2021 an even more engaging and diverting experience, where fun and networking was of no less importance than education and discussion.
For several years now, the Network for Pluralist Economics in Germany has organized the Summer Academy in cooperation with the Protestant Academy of Thuringia. As a vivid actor in civic education, the Protestant Academy of Thuringia provides spaces for civil discourse about the conditions of a democratic, liberal and just society.
