Education for All? An Evening about Opportunities, Participation and Justice

How fair are educational pathways really? The discourse workshop at VHS Bamberg-Stadt will open on October 27, 2026, a three-part event series addressing how social opportunities and living conditions are distributed in our society. The kickoff focuses on educational and participatory justice, combining scientific insights with local perspectives from Bamberg.

Scientific Insights into Educational Pathways

Prof. Dr. Corinna Kleinert from the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories in Bamberg will present empirical findings on the significance of socioeconomic background and individual life paths. Her lecture titled Who Comes Through the Education System and How? highlights how social conditions shape educational pathways and where participation is hindered.

Local Perspectives on Educational Justice

The subsequent panel discussion will center on the local situation. Stakeholders from ArbeiterKind Bamberg, the contact point for studies and disabilities at the University of Bamberg, the migration advisory board of the city of Bamberg, and other local institutions will discuss access to education, social inequality, and societal participation.

The event connects expertise from educational research with experiences from counseling, higher education, migration, community, and social practice. This creates a versatile discourse that does not remain at theoretical findings but makes tangible challenges and action possibilities in Bamberg visible.

Discussion Instead of Lecture

The evening will be moderated by Sonja Richter from the University of Bamberg. The event format emphasizes exchange and joint reflection: scientific impulses meet practical knowledge, personal experiences, and audience questions. Everyone interested is invited to participate in the discussion on educational opportunities and participatory justice.

Contextualization in the Justice Discourse Workshop

The evening marks the beginning of a discourse workshop with three perspectives on a central societal question. In addition to educational and participatory justice, themes such as spatial justice and intergenerational justice will follow. The event planning by the University of Bamberg and the VHS Bamberg-Stadt thus creates a framework for informed information, local networking, and open societal exchange.

Conclusion: Discussing Educational Justice Together

Visitors can expect an informative evening with a scientific lecture, regional practical reference, and moderated panel discussion. Those wanting to understand how social origin, individual life paths, and institutional structures influence educational opportunities will experience a relevant and stimulating discourse at VHS Bamberg-Stadt. Participation offers the opportunity to raise questions and learn about perspectives for greater participation locally.
