In view of a changing educational landscape and new socio-political and technological challenges, the question arises as to whether the existing concepts of aesthetic education are still relevant.

Whether taught at school or outside of school - how is the relevance of art and its teaching justified today? How does the subject respond to social developments indicated by keywords such as 'inclusion' or 'migration'? How is aesthetic practice and theory changing in digitalised everyday life? Does art education in the museum and exhibition sector still need to fight for acceptance or has it long been accepted? And what significance does it have in relation to the expanding field of cultural education? To what extent is aesthetic education affected by a state-funded creative industry and the concepts of art and creativity that it disseminates? And last but not least: How can working contexts and discursive exchange be strengthened in this situation?
