Democratic Design – #4 Democratic Education

Aedes Berlin

The fourth Lab Talk examines new approaches to teaching the next generation democratic values and participation  through planning and design

Aedes

As societal challenges grow increasingly complex, there is an urgent need for innovative, holistic and inclusive approaches. Securing democracy for the future means actively involving younger generations in decision-making processes and in shaping their built environment – fostering a sense of responsibility and participation. This shift must be reflected in schools, universities and their curricula.Bringing design and education together, this final Lab Talk asks: How can democratic values and participation be taught through planning and design? What kinds of spaces support this learning? And how can we recognise and value young people and their culture in public space – beyond a one-dimensional focus on economic viability? <a href="https://aedesmetrolab.de/portfolio/dd-4-education/" title="https://aedesmetrolab.de/portfolio/dd-4-education/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">More</a> PROGRAMMEWelcomeDunya Bouchi, Partner, Aedes, BerlinPresentationsAngelika Hinterbrandner, @ahinterbrandner, Policy Advisor and Author, BerlinScott Lloyd, Co-Founder, TEN Studio, Zurich/BelgradeTatjana Schneider, Professor for History and Theory of Architecture and Urbanism, TU BraunschweigMatthew Springett, Fiona MacDonald, Directors, MATT+FIONA, LondonDiscussionLukas Staudinger, Curator / Professor for Architecture and Urban Design, Berlin International University of Applied Science / Co-Founder, POLIGONAL, BerlinFront-Row PeersRuben Jodar, Ines Aubert, Architects/Founders Stiftung Freizeit, Hamburg/BerlinHendrik Weiner, Founder, Raumdialog, Berlin / Academic Staff, Dept. of Urban Management, BTU Cottbus After the talk, you are warmly invited to join the curators for a guided tour of the exhibition. About Democratic DesignIn Democratic Design – Space for Cooperation, Collaboration and Compromise, Aedes explores how architecture, planning processes and public spaces can foster democratic engagement and social cohesion – both more urgent than ever in times of profound societal uncertainty. The programme consists of an exhibition, a series of four Lab Talks and a catalogue featuring contributions from practitioners in Berlin, Germany and across Europe, selected through an open call in collaboration with European architecture centres.At the core of Democratic Design are democratic planning processes and the spaces they create. The presented projects amplify marginalised voices, encourage participation and inspire collective visions for the future. Dialogue and exchange are essential conditions for democracy, cultivating the ability to accept differing viewpoints and to compromise – the very foundations of democratic culture. <a href="https://aedesmetrolab.de/democratic-design/" title="https://aedesmetrolab.de/democratic-design/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">More</a> Democratic Design is made possible through the generous support of the Berlin Capital Cultural Fund (Hauptstadtkulturfonds) and additional support from the ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS.Image © Rimini Berlin
