These subject matters are not 1 by 1 reflected below; in real university life these aspects occure interconnected in certain relations!

KRAM partakes in the democratic development of informed opinion and decision making in discussion circles, by suggesting concepts or formates for a subject matter or its treatment. Thus, KRAM supports foremost that affected persons can become participants! KRAM philosophy: we feel it important that affected parties are enabled to voice their interests, instead of merely speaking for them.
