Burnout and on - Wenn sich sogar Junge erschöpft fühlen

Was machen Stress und Angst mit unserem Körper und der Psyche? Welche Symptome zeigen sich am meisten? Weshalb ist “Burnout” keine offizielle Diagnose? Inwiefern überfordert uns die Arbeitswelt und unser Alltag immer mehr? Oder ist das Thema enttabuisiert und wir vermehrt sensibilisiert? Verlangen wir dementsprechend schon von unseren Kindern zu viel? Welche Branchen sind am meisten gefährdet? Wie kann man gesund leben, entschleunigen und Zeit zurückgewinnen?

Open discussions between laymen and scientists

There have been Science Cafés in Bern since May 2000. The project is organized and supported by the University of Bern with the Science et Cité Foundation, the Bern University of Teacher Education and the Bern University of Applied Sciences.

Who attends? The public, managers from the scientific and political communities, wider society and professional moderators.

When does it take place? Every first Monday in the month, at 20 p.m. until 21.30 p.m.

What is discussed? Scientists are asked current questions from everyday life

Why? To encourage discussions between the university and the population, to reduce anxiety about and provide insight into the work carried out in the alleged ivory tower.

Cafés were always popular places for meeting to discuss current events and exchange opinions. You can discuss these problems face to face with researchers at the university and with movers and shakers from the world of politics and society once a month, ask your questions, express your anxieties and suggest your ideas for possible solutions – or simply listen to what others think.
