This week, Thomas Krüger, who has been President of the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb) since 2000, was a virtual guest at the IFS Ring Lecture "Civic Literacy as a Topic Area of Empirical Educational Research". In his lecture on the topic "The importance of (school) civic education in a seemingly polarizing society - What can schools do to strengthen tomorrow's democracy today?", he spoke about the importance and possibilities of school and extracurricular civic education against the background of the political and social challenges of recent years.

Many thanks for the interesting lecture and a lively discussion!
