Wie macht man den Jüngsten Mut? Die Universität Graz beantwortet Fragen zur Corona-Krise #27

Studien und Erfahrungen zeigen, dass Kinder besonders unter den derzeitigen Restriktionen leiden. Sie können mit den herrschenden Unsicherheiten schwer umgehen, außerdem vermissen sie stärker als Ältere ihr gewohntes soziales Umfeld, ihre FreundInnen, die Alltagsstruktur in Kindergarten oder Schule. Wie kann man in der aktuellen Situation ihr subjektives Wohlbefinden steigern? Daniela Camhy, Expertin für Kinderphilosophie an der Universität Graz, hat eine Antwort darauf: „Den Jüngeren fällt es schwer, ihre Gedanken zu artikulieren und Fragen zu stellen. Leitet man sie aber gezielt dazu an und philosophiert man regelmäßig mit ihnen, fördert das unter anderem ihre Reflexionsfähigkeit sowie die individuelle Widerstandskraft.“

Die Initiative müsse von den Erwachsenen ausgehen, unterstreicht Camhy. Die Krise biete uns die Möglichkeit, neue Wertschätzungen zu erfahren und die Beziehungen mit unseren Kindern zu vertiefen. „Gemeinsames Nachdenken kann philosophische Gespräche in Gang setzen und sich zu einem gemeinsamen Dialog entwickeln“, führt die Expertin aus. Das gemeinsame Forschen biete die Möglichkeit und den Rahmen, sich mit den eigenen Gedanken, Normen, Werten und unterschiedlichen Lebensformen auseinanderzusetzen.

Als weitere Anleitung empfiehlt sie jeweils das erste Kapitel der folgenden Bücher für Kinder bzw. für Eltern und PädagogInnen.

Die Kinderphilosophie hat bedeutende Grundlagen geschaffen, um bereits früh die eigenständige Persönlichkeitsentwicklung sowie Problemlösungsfähigkeit, Selbstkritik, Konfliktfähigkeit und Empathie zu fördern.

Fair distribution: Researchers determine just greenhouse gas budgets for all EU regions

Ten years ago, on 12 December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the UN Climate Conference. In order to limit global warming to well below two degrees, only a certain amount of CO2 may be emitted worldwide. While the focus was originally on national emission targets, more than 200 subnational regions and almost 300 cities have now adopted their own targets. But how many emissions are they fairly entitled to? Researchers at the University of Graz have now developed transparent criteria for fair distribution at the subnational level for the first time and determined corresponding greenhouse gas budgets for all European regions. The paper was published today in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

Train by train: Koralm railway accelerates exchange between the Universities

Lectures at the University of Klagenfurt in the morning, seminars at the University of Graz in the afternoon: Austria's longest tunnel and a journey time of around 45 minutes make it easy. The Koralm railway increases the speed of networking between the two university locations. The collaboration builds on existing cooperation - for example in the areas of teacher training, Slavic studies and as employers, the universities are well coordinated.
