An event of the Certificate Course “Artistic Interventions in Cultural Education” at the University of Hildesheim, funded by Stiftung Mercator
Friday, 8th July – Saturday, 9th July 2022 at the University of Hildesheim / Main Campus and Cultural Campus at the Domain of Marienburg
The Symposium addresses artists working in the field of Cultural Education and other societal contexts, scientists and scholars, students and practitioners in the fields of Cultural Education and Cultural Mediation as well as representatives from cultural and education institutions and administrations.
Art bears a particular potential for cultural education processes. Experiencing artistic principles and processes can stimulate inquisitiveness, independent and unconventional thought and action as well as one’s self-perception and that of one’s environment among children, youths and adults. It can also strengthen awareness of self-efficacy and of complex societal contexts. The International Symposium seeks to create access to and discuss knowledge and insights relating to cultural and education policy programmes in various countries, demonstrate a wide range of perspectives on aims, potentials and impacts of cultural interventions in educational contexts and make different artistic concepts and strategies for working in various social and educational contexts experienceable in practice workshops run by artists.
