Petrivision: Education

Petrivision addresses one of the major topics of our time every month. Under an annual theme, issues from society, philosophy, and religion are explored through speeches, music, dance, and theater in a transformative performance. In the hour between 11 p.m. and midnight, something magical often happens. Afterward, guests are invited to gather for conversation over bread and wine.

"Education" will be the theme of the Petrivision in early November as part of the series "Attitude." As a university church that works closely with all three Lübeck universities, this theme strikes at the heart of St. Petri. From the perspective of a cultural church, the Petrivision team also agrees: culture is education, not a luxury. But what should be included in the canon of education, and why? How fair is our education system? What role do role models play? And how much imagination is needed for a good education? These and other questions will be addressed by the evening's guest speakers, Dr. Michael Janneck, principal of the Johanneum, and Chaya Chromik, a politically active medical student at the University of Lübeck. The Vox Mandala choir will perform.

For many years, topics ranging from science and art, religion and society have been playfully and polyphonically staged in the nightly ‚Petrivision’s‘. The new series "Attitude", which begins on Saturday, April the 6th, in the Culture and University Church of Lübeck – St. Peter‘s, is expressly intended to take up and continue the great debates of the present. "Attitude" is currently a frequently used term. Attitude is expected and shown in regard to armed conflicts, threats to the democratic order, climate and gender equality. Attitude stands for a way of thinking: taking a stand, flying the flag and defying resistance to name a few. This series aims to explore the question of whether there can be only one "correct" stance on certain issues, or whether different views can be tolerated and accepted. Attitude should not only be presented as a moral challenge, but also an aesthetic one, expressed in questions of decency, style and etiquette. Attitude, as the creative minds of Petrivision see it, is both a question of ethics and the art of living.
