GSiK: Perspectives on a complex society
04/07/2026The interdisciplinary GSiK seminar programme is aimed at all students. It addresses central questions of cultural identity, ecological responsibility and social inequality.
In an increasingly interconnected world, it is becoming ever more important to understand the structures and dynamics of social coexistence. The GSiK (Global Systems and Intercultural Competence) seminar programme in the 2026 summer semester is dedicated to central questions of cultural identity, ecological responsibility and social inequality. The seminars will focus on topics such as religious diversity, norms, discrimination in everyday life and sport, and sustainable lifestyles.
The interdisciplinary seminars combine theoretical principles with practical approaches. They invite participants to critically reflect on their own position in a pluralistic society. The diverse programme promotes academic further education and personal development in equal measure. It is open to all JMU students.
