„Labor Law“ Theme Day in Erfurt

The Forum Recht Foundation’s third Thematic Day in 2026 will focus on labor law—a field of law that directly shapes the daily lives of many people. The event will center on current issues surrounding rights and obligations in employment relationships, employee participation, protection against wrongful termination, collective bargaining autonomy, as well as discrimination and equal treatment in the workplace. Particular attention will be paid to the significance of labor law regulations for thought leaders in education, social work, and journalism: How can labor law topics be communicated in an accessible way? What social conflicts are reflected in labor law? And what role do courts play in the further development of the law?

A visit to the Federal Labor Court in Erfurt gives participants the opportunity to gain firsthand insight into the court’s rulings and to engage in conversation with experts. The theme day combines in-depth professional knowledge with a practical perspective and provides an opportunity for discussion and networking.

The theme days are one-day professional development sessions that combine a visit to a site related to law and the rule of law with practical discussions, expert presentations, and exchanges in a workshop format. Participants come from the fields of education (schools, political education, adult education centers, and other educational institutions), social work (including volunteer youth leaders and social workers), and media and journalism. Other individuals with professional ties to the subject area—such as lay judges or those active in politics—are also invited to participate.
