Introduction: Cultural-Historical Activity Theory and German-Scandinavian Critical Psychology, revitalizing a dialogue.
(Berlin) Till Manderbach

In this brief introduction I will lay out the idea beyond organizing this program: Fostering a dialogue of the German-Scandinavian tradition in Critical Psychology with international currents that build on Cultural-Historical Psychology, too. Although sharing the same roots, the reception of recent developments in Cultural-Historical Psychology within Critical Psychology has been limited and vice versa. The aim is to revitalize a dialogue in psychology and education that connects research and praxis with the struggle for societal transformation.will also provide an overview on the forthcoming days of talks and discussions and ways to participate.
