Welcome to the Bildung Biodigitale repository activated at baumhaus.digital on 18th April 2023 (AE530418)

Old definition: BB is an educational curriculum integrating paradigms of computer-oriented sciences (e.g. informatics, cybernetics, AI etc.) and nature-oriented sciences (e.g. biology, ecology, botanics etc.) into a life-centered didactic package. Instead of being composed of dry indoor frontal teaching lectures, BB seminars mostly take place outdoor, some of them are peripatetic –i.e. walking– and apart from „aesthetic“ and „theoretical“ components always include a „survival“ component.

New definition: Bildung Biodigitale is a seminar cycle which deploys eco-artificial education within University context.

``Ecoartificial education (EAE) integrates those forms of pedagogical and didactic practice where artificially intelligent systems are being deployed for the purpose of increase of Wuman’s knowledge and respect of the surrounding biosphere.''

EAE is about cultivating what Charles Darwin called ``the most noble attribute of man''

Humans are story-telling animals. In the peri(patetic|cycletic) SoSe2026 seminar at Gutshof Sauen, we shall reflect upon history of story-telling as it has been, since times immemorial, practiced in different cultures and different contexts (artistic, educational, political etc.). We will ask questions like: "How will story-telling look like in the future ? What methods, instruments and media will be used to-tell-the-story in year 2300 ? Will AIs and corporations be the principal story-tellers or are they just temporary actors reminding us how important it is that humanity should protect its "narrative sovereignity" ? What stories will be told, by whom, and to whom ?". But first and foremost: we will practice. Outdoor and indoor; by a fireplace and in Extended Reality, we - You, me, us - will be telling stories. And, hopefully, also learning in the process.

We eat them, kill them, crush them, exploit them, misunderstand them and in some lucky cases also love and venerate them. Being so different and so similar, they fascinate us, inspire us and scare us in the same time. They are us: animals.

The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man.

Bildung Biodigitale: standing on shoulders of giants and lying below shovels of dwarfs.

Carolus Linnaeus war ein  schwedischer Naturforscher, der mit der binären Nomenklatur die Grundlagen der modernen botanischen und zoologischen Taxonomie schuf.

Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (* 16. Februar 1834 in Potsdam; † 9. August 1919 in Jena) war ein deutscher Mediziner, Zoologe, Philosoph, Zeichner und Freidenker, der ab den 1860er Jahren die Ideen von Charles Darwin zu einer speziellen Abstammungslehre ausbaute. Er trug durch seine populären Schriften und Vorträge sehr zur Verbreitung des Darwinismus in Deutschland bei, den er im Schulunterricht eingegliedert sehen wollte. Darüber hinaus erarbeitete er eine ausführliche embryologische Argumentation für die Evolutionstheorie und formulierte in diesem Zusammenhang das Biogenetische Grundgesetz.

Dame Jane Goodall (* 3. April 1934 in London) ist eine britische Verhaltensforscherin, die 1960 begann, das Verhalten von Schimpansen im Gombe-Stream-Nationalpark in Tansania zu untersuchen. Um für den Erhalt der Habitate der Primaten und damit für den Schutz ihrer Arten zu werben, gründete sie das Jane-Goodall-Institut, das Behandlung und Verständnis der Primaten durch öffentliche Bildung und rechtliche Vertretung zu verbessern sucht, die Zusammenarbeit mit lokalen Gemeinden stärken will und junge Leute für diese Aufgaben gewinnt und ausbildet.

John Howard Moore (December 4, 1862 – June 17, 1916) was an American zoologist, philosopher, educator, humanitarian and socialist. He is considered to be an early, yet neglected, proponent of animal rights and ethical vegetarianism, and was a leading figure in the American humanitarian movement. Moore was a prolific writer, authoring numerous articles, books, essays, pamphlets on topics including animal rights, education, ethics, evolutionary biology, humanitarianism, socialism, temperance, utilitarianism and vegetarianism.
