As a university, we educate the decision-makers of the future, handing down world concepts that shape the thinking and structures of future societies. At the threshold of a comprehensive transformation, in addition to the purely technical implementation of climate goals, a turnaround in people's consciousness is particularly needed. The Real.Sense.Lab, as an institute for perceptual competencies and consciousness formation, refers to processes of self- and environmental appropriation, to the formation of motivational and emotional competencies with the goal of providing people in and outside of the university with a repertoire of methods that will enable them to deal with the challenges of the future independently and responsibly.

In the Real.Sense.Lab, evolved environments (nature and urbanity) as well as social spaces are rediscovered and negotiated with current, performative perception techniques and strategies. The focus will be on the training of listening, seeing and spatial perception through movement and articulation. Consecutively, new formats will be derived from this, which, in the sense of a real laboratory, aim to implement new products and designs for a socially and ecologically oriented society. Taking into account the acoustic, visual-haptic and spatial sensory experience, the aim is a process- and personality-oriented ecology that can have a lasting impact on all educational institutions and environmental design.
