Today at the Berlin Science Week 2024, a thought-provoking 90-minute session unfolded, bringing together two dynamic voices: Lubna Hayatleh-Heinke a champion of female migrant empowerment, and Ingo Günther, a versatile actor and musician. Hosted by Gordian, the talk seamlessly merged personal storytelling, art, and cultural insights to explore the profound impact of decision-making on our identities and lives. Through Lubna's experience of navigating a new cultural landscape as a Syrian refugee and Ingo's reflections on the freedom and constraints within the creative arts, the conversation highlighted the universal yet highly contextual nature of decisions. The dialogue challenged the audience to rethink their decision-making processes, inviting them to consider how cultural values, intuition, and societal expectations shape our daily choices.

Today’s the day. Join Lubna, Ingo, and your host Gordian for an open and exciting dive into decision-making at Berlin Science Week - discover, participate, and rethink. Salöön, Holzmarkt, Berlin: 02 pm to 03:30 pm https://lnkd.in/eMP_etuy https://lnkd.in/eRcYuCTC

The arts can teach us how to bridge the playful freedom of choice with the practical resilience needed in everyday decision-making, especially in times of change. Through creative expression, individuals learn to explore options that encourage adaptability, self-discovery, and embracing unexpected outcomes. For those facing disruptive transitions—such as refugees or migrants adapting to new societal norms—the lessons from artistic decision-making can offer a form of resilience. While these individuals may not have the immediate 'safety net' of returning to familiar ground, they carry the skills learned in the arts: a heightened sense of adaptability, open-mindedness, and the ability to reframe mistakes as learning opportunities. This adaptability strengthens their capacity to establish new common ground, even in radically changing decision environments. Two days to go. Ready or not, our event at Berlin Science Week is around the corner - are you prepared to reflect on your choices? https://lnkd.in/emdXq9At

While the arts offer a space for playful, free decision-making, real-life decisions are often constrained by practical factors, societal norms, and personal responsibilities. When someone is forced to make decisions in a new or challenging environment—such as after relocating to a different society or navigating a crisis—the freedom to "play" with decisions becomes limited. In these contexts, the comfort of returning to a stable foundation or "regular life" is not always available, making each choice higher stakes. By contrast, individuals can take these risks in the arts, knowing they have the safety net of their usual reality to return to if a decision does not yield the desired outcome. This safety net allows them to explore and grow in a controlled environment, gaining insights they can carry into real-world decisions. Three days and counting. Prepare for Berlin Science Week - prepare for a shift in your decision-making mindset. https://lnkd.in/emdXq9At

Engaging in the arts creates a playground for exploring decisions in a low-stakes environment. When actors improvise scenes or dancers experiment with movement, they practice decision-making in a space that encourages risk-taking and resilience. Mistakes or missteps in this context are simply part of the process, not failures. This freedom to play with decisions builds a psychological resilience transferable to real-life situations. Here, the arts act as a microcosm where decisions can be made freely, mistakes can be embraced, and the lessons learned can be applied in more structured aspects of life. The arts thus serve as both an outlet for exploration and a bridge to more conventional decision-making contexts. Four days left! Brace yourself for Berlin Science Week - new perspectives in decision-making await. https://lnkd.in/emdXq9At

Common ground in decision-making often conjures thoughts of consensus, shared values, and structured dialogue. However, the arts bring a unique dimension to this foundation: they offer a secure and confident space to push boundaries, experiment with ideas, and experience freedom in choice-making. In art, whether in theater, painting, or music, individuals can explore decisions in imaginative, unconventional ways. Artistic expression allows for decision-making without the strict confines of outcome-based goals. This 'freedom to play ' nurtures creativity and builds resilience as individuals learn to navigate uncertainties and explore new perspectives without immediate real-life consequences. See you at Berlin Science Week in five days - get ready; your common sense in decision-making might just get a refresh. https://lnkd.in/emdXq9At

Today, we are thrilled to inform you that we will welcome Ingo Günther, a celebrated German artist whose work transcends music, composition, and acting, to join us on stage to explore and reflect on the changing dynamics of creative use of decision-making spaces. Ingo’s career is marked by his adaptability and innovative collaborations across diverse theatrical and musical landscapes, from his foundational work with the Paramounts to his extensive collaborations with avant-garde director Herbert Fritsch. His artistic endeavors often challenge and redefine the boundaries of traditional and contemporary performance arts, making him a compelling voice in discussions about the impact of exploring and changing perspectives and the transformative power of creativity that can be used within decision spaces. #BerlinScienceWeek24 #FallingWalls #ScienceCommunity #CommonGround #decisionmaking #decisionspaces #decisionsthattrulymatter Photo Credits: Ingo Günther

We hope you are as excited as we are to introduce Lubna Hayatleh-Heinke at our November 10, 2024, event at the Salöön at Holzmarkt. Lubna is a very dynamic figure who is reshaping how decision spaces are understood and navigated within the context of migration. Originally from Damascus and now an impactful personality in Germany, Lubna specializes in empowering migrant communities, mainly focusing on integrating women into the workforce and enhancing migrant participation through her innovative "Runde Tische" initiative. Her background in English Literature and her studies in Political Science and Sociology equips her to address the complex challenges of change and adaptation facing migrants. Lubna’s firsthand experience with abrupt cultural transitions provides her with unique insights into the evolving landscapes of decision-making in multicultural contexts and the opportunities and threats within the changing decision spaces. #BerlinScienceWeek24 #FallingWalls #ScienceCommunity #CommonGround #decisionmaking #decisionspaces Photo Credits: Alexander Camillo Heinke - @LXTHTHF
