Keynote & Interactive Impulse
Ulf-Daniel Ehlers, Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University: "Future Skills: Future skills for the world of today?" (17.11., 1.30 pm, stage in the foyer and livestream) As biographies become increasingly flexible, the responsibility of individuals to develop individual competence strategies for their own lives is growing. Professional and private living spaces are becoming increasingly delimited and intertwined. In terms of education, we can diagnose a veritable "drift to self-organization" (Ehlers 2020). This is characterized by a de-standardization of educational pathways, in which the fit of informal and formal educational opportunities with professional and private requirements must increasingly be prioritized and implemented in individual learning and action strategies that are increasingly aimed at acquiring "future skills". Universities are faced with the challenge of responding to this. Future skills are currently on everyone's lips. As digital skills, of course - but there is more to it than just a list of skills that schools or universities could base their curricula on in order to prepare learners for all eventualities in a future-proof manner. Although the discussion about future skills encompasses aspects such as skills orientation and lifelong learning, it goes deeper. It goes so deep that it encompasses the foundations of the education system and the foundations of how we deal with work. The lecture will address the topic primarily from the perspective of higher education. Topic 1 is a review of the background, the transformation of higher education goals in a world of accelerated change. Topic 2 is the analysis of skills on the basis of various empirical studies carried out by the author and the classification of all future skills studies published to date in German-speaking countries. Topic 3 is the projection of academic learning into the future. All three topics are discussed here on the basis of empirically validated concepts and connect to the international discussion that exists in this area. The Future Skills concept goes beyond digitalization, takes up competence orientation in great depth and presents models and profiles for higher education development over the next 15 years for discussion.

Juan M. Garcia, Franz Liszt University of Music Weimar: Interactive impulse "Listening" (17.11., 14.00, stage in the foyer and livestream) After completing his studies, Juan M.V. Garcia performed worldwide with the vocal quartet "Klangbezirk" until 2014, as well as composing, arranging and directing at numerous German theaters. He has also worked as a freelance lecturer, presenter and music producer, and internationally as a vocal coach and guest lecturer between Taipei, Shanghai and Berlin. Teaching assignments for jazz and pop choir conducting and jazz singing have taken him to the Leipzig University of Music since 2011 and to the Weimar University of Music since 2014. At the annual eTeach conference, Juan Garcia will be presenting an interim version of the "Digital Error Choir". This has the task of freeing students of choral conducting at the University of Music from many of the secondary tasks that arise during rehearsals, thereby enabling them to focus their full attention on sound phenomena associated with incorrect interpretation of the musical text. The ability to hear mistakes is the core competence of a good choir conductor. However, this is difficult to teach as part of the curriculum. There is generally not enough time. We are pleased that we can take the time and are looking forward to the experiment!
