Prejudices – When our minds play tricks on us
What’s it all about?
Sometimes we think we know exactly what a person is like. And that’s just because we’ve seen them briefly or heard something about them. Often, though, it’s just a story in our heads that isn’t true at all.
In this lecture, we’ll explore together what prejudices are and how they arise. We’ll discover how to recognise and challenge prejudices. Together, we’ll look at why it’s worth getting to know people properly. Because if you look closely, you’ll often realise that the person is quite different from what you first thought.
Our programme leaflet for the Year of Knowledge 2026 is available at many public locations in and around Mittweida. You can also download the programme as a PDF here. Alternatively, you can of course pick one up at the children’s universities at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, or sign up for our newsletter.

Cheat sheet
For lasting knowledge: After every lecture, we’ll give you a knowledge card as a gift. This way, you can gradually build up your own Children’s University cheat sheet. Each knowledge card contains the key points on the topic of the lecture – explained clearly and with plenty of examples. If you’ve missed a lecture, you can download your cards here.
Partnerships
Working together for children’s future: The Children’s University thrives on strong partnerships. Together with schools, businesses and other organisations, we create exciting learning opportunities that inspire children’s interest in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
