Cultural Education in School Contexts
What makes school a locus of culture? This module will analyze the living environments of children and teens as well as the defining features of schools. Starting from an examination of their own school experiences, participants will reflect on the role of arts practitioners as external project members as well as the question to what extent can one’s own practice within art projects be used to effect change in “school.” This module focuses specifically on how to create effective partnerships under systemic school conditions.
Central questions

What added benefit does artistic work offer the school system?
What must be understood about the basic operating parameters of schools in order to work in school contexts effectively?
