  As a result of the workshop, a conception of a working unit “intervention” as a part of the research group is planned. Different competences should be concentrated in this working unit: (a) the recherche, validation and preparation of the empirical status in the field of basic and applied research in order to improve intergroup relations, (b) the development of concepts of evidence-based intervention and eventually the initiation of respective implementations and (c) the evaluation of measures, leading to the improvement of the relations between social groups.

Additional guest lectures in the context of the research colloquium will be:

• October, 23: Hans Oswald (Institut für Pädagogik, Universität Potsdam) speaking on the subject of "Rechtsorientierung und Ausländerfeindlichkeit von Jugendlichen in den neuen Bundesländern (Brandenburg): Zum Einfluss von Eltern und Gleichaltrigen". Location: Karl-Zeiß-Str. 3, Room 318.
