The Condition of No. Talks on Boycott, Censorship and Protest in Germany
Alongside culture, the debate about freedom of expression is most heated at universities and academies: Places where the free exchange of opinions should be a fundamental prerequisite for research and teaching. The anti-Semitic incidents and pro-Palestinian protests at German universities and academies in the context of the Gaza war are the starting point for the discussion. Based on their own experiences, Meron Mendel, director of the Anne Frank Educational Centre in Frankfurt am Main, and Geraldine Rauch, President of the Technical University of Berlin, will talk about this difficult topic.
