New DFG-funded project launched:
Achievement: A social practice in Primary School Classroom. An International Comparative Analysis on Germany and Italy
In APRA, in co-operation with the Centre of Excellence for Inclusion at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy), we are investigating creativity and ability norms and performance regulations in primary schools from an international comparative perspective. Our approach is documentary and ethnographic and at the same time comparative and follows a practice-theoretical perspective on the institution of school. Project team: Prof. Dr Michaela Kaiser, Séneca Jurado van Bürck (UOL); Prof. Dr Simone Seitz, Anna Schwermann, Sara Baroni (UBZ)

The DigiPro@UOL project at the Oldenburg site is investigating the digital cultural conditions of professional teacher behaviour in (art) teaching educational situations, especially in the post-digital age. About the project network.
The social virtual reality space Ökologische Beunruhigung , which was launched in 09/2024 as part of the advanced training course on art education and digitality (KOL.2439.N02), encourages people to react to selected artistic and art-mediating VR practices within teaching and learning contexts. Three artists and an art mediator developed their own scenic spaces in the social VR environment, which are dedicated to botanical fantasies and climate feelings from a more-than-human perspective. Accompanied by a moderator, the training participants start their tour in a specially designed foyer with the lecture performance Alaria (2024) by art educator and eco-educator Chantal Küng. Afterwards, the participating teachers will walk through adapted versions of the VR artworks Blooming Love (2020) by Daniel Hengst, Stranger to the Trees (2020) by Kat Austen and Metamorphosis (2022) by Du Zhang.
