Presentations, talks, workshops, panels

Schools are laboratories for the society of tomorrow. But how can they enable democratic, self-determined and sustainable action? At eleven Berlin schools, students, along with artists and everyday experts, explore the question of how schools can give them tools for actively shaping their lives.

Education in Concrete

School projects, presentations, manifesto
Presentations: May to June 2021

In the run-up to the exhibition Education Shock, students explore their school buildings, which were built in the 1960s and 1970s. They devise a manifesto for the design of good learning environments and present their projects during guided tours at the participating schools.

The Unforeseen

On the Lure of Risk in the Participatory Arts
Conference

Participatory art is more than art that invites participation. It relies on cooperation and dialog between all actors. So it’s about a kind of “re-literacy” of the understanding of art. But art, which sees itself not as a finished, material work, but as a collaborative process, eludes control.

New Experts!

In their school lives, teens in particular are experts in the immigration society yet they rarely have a say about it. Since December 2016, students at the Staatliche Europa-Schulen in Berlin have been seeking new imagery, presentation formats and narratives that do justice to their points of view.
