Reading series "Planting school of humanity"
Over the course of the anniversary year, authors and texts from the context of the historical school will be presented at selected locations, some of which have close links to the Philanthropinum, by well-known figures from politics, the church, culture and the media. The events take place on a monthly basis.
The reading series will kick off on 16 January 2024 in the auditorium of the Philanthropinum grammar school. In order to ensure that the series of events is perceived in a sustainable manner, cooperation and media support will be sought through appropriate media.
As part of the STADTLesen project, in addition to the twelve regular readings in the “Planting School of Humanity” series, there will also be a “special”, an entertaining programme that also focuses on the anniversary of the Philanthropinum.
