Ass. (BKJ). Since 1995, she has been Head of Expertise & Kommunikation f\u00fcr Bildung, and since 2014, furthermore, Managing Director of \u201cTransfer f\u00fcr Bildung e.\u00a0V.\u201d In addition, she has teaching assignments at numerous universities: Westphalian Wilhelms University of M\u00fcnster, University of K\u00f6ln, Hagen Distance Learning University, Hochschule Niederrhein\/M\u00f6nchengladbach University of Applied Sciences, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, University of Luxembourg, Hochschule Osnabr\u00fcck University of Applied Sciences, Technische Hochschule K\u00f6ln, University of Hildesheim.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is your professional focus?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I research, teach and mediate in the fields of Cultural, Political and International Education. My two organisations \u2013 Expertise & Kommunikation f\u00fcr Bildung and Transfer f\u00fcr Bildung e.\u00a0V. \u2013 specialise in applied research and making it useful for practice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What potentials do you see in the certificate course \u201cArtistic Interventions in Cultural Education\u201d for your specialist field?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If collaborative schemes at individual and systemic level are regarded as key conditions for a better provision of Cultural Education, then the actors in these ventures have to be qualified\u00a0\u00a0 for them. Above all, it must become clear that very different professions bringing with them different skills and notions of Cultural Education encounter one another in collaborative schemes. Here I see the certificate course holding useful potentials. Moreover, qualification programmes are few and far between. In my study \u201cQualifizierungen zu Kooperativit\u00e4t und Interprofessionalit\u00e4t im Schnittfeld Kultur und Schule. Konzepte, Angebote\u201d (qualifying for cooperativeness and inter-professionalism in the intersection of culture and school \u2013 concepts and programmes), I was able to establish that there are virtually no further education programmes\u00a0 addressing collaborative schemes with non-school partners in Cultural Education. And things are no better for other actors, such as artists.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Which changes are needed at cultural policy or education policy level to strengthen the potentials of cooperation with artists for Cultural Education in Germany?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the 1980s at the latest, collaboration among organisers of non-school Cultural Education and artists has been commonplace. Apart from this area still being underfunded, I see little to catch up on. As a rule, coordination and qualification are performed within these collaborative schemes. What is new is schools cooperating with artists and cultural institutions. I find that such activities are still difficult. As soon as the employment of artists serves the purpose of providing substitutes for lessons, all potential has been wasted. In no circumstances do I agree with understanding artists per se as cultural educators. Rather, this is a qualification in its own right. Like other existing qualifications, it ought to enjoy more acceptance at cultural and education policy level, which would constitute a step towards providing more \u2013 above all pedagogical \u2013 qualifications.<\/p>\n
