The goal of the lecture series is to bring perspectives from different research disciplines and fields of action towards the SDGs in two regions into dialogue. In particular, topics should be addressed in which professional, methodological or disciplinary intersections exist between Colombia and Germany. In one to two lecture(s) per meeting, the speakers will present Colombian and German perspectives and offer their relevance to the SDGs for discussion. The overarching interest of the lecture series is to provide insight into complex development challenges from an intercultural perspective.
