    Article (English and German): Applied Cinema and Social Cohesion: Promoting Gender Equity through Film for Development among the Kom of North West Cameroon

    English abstract:

    "Applied Cinema uses filmmaking as a means of social intervention in communities. The Film for Development (FfD) variant first brings together disadvantaged people to reflect on their predicaments and brainstorm on solutions, resulting in story creation and the making of a participatory film that sensitizes the public for their stories. This study used the FfD approach to promote gender equity among the Kom Society of North West Cameroon. The study sought to answer the following questions: Which socio-cultural practices in Kom Society exclude women? What are women’s views on how to foster their inclusion in the Kom society? How can strategies for the inclusion of women be presented in a community sensitization film? Using participant observation, focus group discussions and key informant interviews, this study revealed two categories of practices that exclude women. The first includes those endorsed by the traditional leaders (institutional practices), while the second includes those actively fought against by the traditional leaders. Suggestions from respondents on how to empower women in Kom were further woven into a community film through participatory dramaturgy. It is at this point that this work tallies with Arts Education, especially from a functional and learning perspective, at the informal level."

    German Abtract: (Auszug):

    "Angewandtes Kino nutzt das Filmemachen als Mittel zur sozialen Intervention in verschiedenen Gemeinschaften. Der Ansatz „Film for Development“ (FfD) bringt benachteiligte Menschen zusammen, gibt ihnen Raum zur Reflexion ihrer Lage und zum Brainstormen von Lösungen und ermöglicht so neue Narrative und ein partizipatives Filmemachen, das die Öffentlichkeit für ihre Erzählungen sensibilisiert. Diese Forschungsarbeit nutzt den FfD-Ansatz, um Geschlechtergerechtigkeit in der Gesellschaft der Kom im Nordwesten Kameruns zu fördern. Folgende Fragen sucht die Arbeit zu beantworten: Durch welche soziokulturellen Praktiken der Kom-Gesellschaft werden Frauen ausgeschlossen? Wie kann aus Sicht der Frauen ihre Einbindung in die Kom-Gesellschaft gefördert werden? Wie können Strategien zur Einbindung von Frauen in einem Film dargestellt werden, der die Gemeinschaft sensibilisieren soll?"

    Enter the Specialists - The Power of Dominant Discourse in Dutch Music Education

    English abstract:

    "In this article, the work of power through discourse in music education in primary schools in the Netherlands is examined. After introducing the central concepts of culture, practice, discourse, and power, the current dominant musical discourse in the Netherlands is presented as expressed in three nested perspectives: the perspective of music as a specialist domain, the perspective of music as (essentially instrumental) performance, and the perspective of music as Art. Then, a central document in current music educational developments in Dutch primary schools is analysed. It is demonstrated that specifically the perspectives of music as a specialist domain and (partly) music as (instrumental) performance have a strong presence in this document. The article concludes with an appeal for more attention to the workings of dominant musical discourse in music pedagogical debates."

    Evert Bisschop Boele (2018)

    German Abstract:

    "Dieser Artikel reflektiert die Macht der Diskurse bezogen auf den Musikunterricht an Grundschulen in den Niederlanden. Nach der Einführung der zentralen Konzepte von Kultur, Praxis, Diskurs und Macht wird der derzeit dominierende musikalische Diskurs in den Niederlanden in drei ineinander verschränkten Perspektiven dargestellt: Musik als Fachgebiet von Spezialisten, Musik als (im Wesentlichen instrumentale) Aufführung und Musik als Kunst. Anschließend wird ein zentrales Dokument zu aktuellen musikpädagogischen Entwicklungen in den niederländischen Grundschulen analysiert. Hierbei zeigt sich, dass vor allem die Perspektiven von Musik als Fachgebiet und (teilweise) Musik als (instrumentale) Aufführung stark in diesem Dokument präsent sind. Der Artikel endet mit dem Aufruf der Macht, die dominierende musikalische Diskurse in musikpädagogischen Debatten haben, mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken."

    Only in german: Ländlicher Kulturtourismus - „Dritte Orte“ für (raum)produktive Transformation und partizipative Begegnung

    Abstract:

    "Welche Potenziale für ländliche Kulturentwicklung bietet das Handlungsfeld Tourismus? Wie ordnet sich das Thema Kulturtourismus aktuell ein in den kulturwissenschaftlichen Diskurs? Anhand der stadtsoziologischen Theorie von „Dritten Orten“ der Begegnung wird erläutert, warum und wie die in einer eigenen empirischen Studie erhobenen und weiter geschärften empirischen German Abstract: Kenntnisse über Alltags- und Reisekulturnutzung eingeordnet werden können, um teilhabeorientierten Kulturtourismus in ländlichen Räumen zu entwickeln. BewohnerInnen und TouristInnen werden als eigene Publikumsgruppen genauer betrachtet und die Frage geklärt, welche Bedeutung beide in ländlichen Kulturtourismus-Settings füreinander haben. Die touristischen Ressourcen von „Lokalität“ und „Authentizität“ ländlicher Kulturtourismusangebote ergeben sich als Ergebnis unterschiedlich geglückter Teilhabe von BewohnerInnen im kulturtouristischen System."

  • Nature as a Third Learning Place

    Third learning places with the Kinderfreunde Mühlviertel @ the Mühl-fun-viertel in Austria

    Pedagogical priciples of our organisationThe Kinderfreunde were founded in 1908. The life of workers' children should be improved through solidarity. Since then, our fields of work have become very diverse, but it is still about developing ideas for change and achieving concrete improvements. So we are working on making the living conditions and society more child-compatible and child-friendly. That is our political mission.

    Since 1908 we have also been working practically with children on a daily basis. Children play and learn in our facilities, in children's groups and at events. This is our educational work.

    Education focuses on the developing, the learning person and their relationships to other people. We Kinderfreunde design this pedagogical work in our own Kinderfreunde way.

    So we are a political-educational movement. We work with children and accompany them in their development, but we also work for them when we campaign politically to improve their living and development conditions.

    People with different educational backgrounds work in the various fields of activity of Kinderfreunde. Some Kinderfreunde earn their living in our organization, others are active as “volunteers”. The roles of the people involved are very different, from the kindergarten/after-school teacher to the holiday supervisor, or the person in charge of a Red Falcon group or the employee of a local children's friends group. However, all friends of children share the same vision: to improve the lives of children!

    And we Kinderfreunde are connected by a common basic pedagogical understanding and we are united in the conviction that every activity at Kinderfreunde – no matter in which area – is important for the life and development of the children. Play, learning, adventure, community, education, protection... all of these are part of being a child and are essential to the child's development. The more diverse the offers for children, young people and their families, the more likely they are to meet their individual needs.

    The fact that our work in the educational and political field is shaped by our Kinderfreunde attitude distinguishes it from the work of others. In everything we think and do, we as friends of children are guided by our values: equality, justice, freedom, peace, diversity and solidarity.

    That's why our pedagogy is special - a Kinderfreunde pedagogy. It is the way to achieve our goal: A successful life for all people!

    CHILDREN RIGHTS

    All children have rights!

    For more than 30 years we have been fighting for the awareness, compliance and implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in Austria.

    A lot has happened in these 30 years, including some articles of the 2011 Convention that were given constitutional status. But for the concrete life situation of many children, the situation is still not something to celebrate: many children live in poverty, many children experience violence, many children do not get the therapy they need quickly enough and much more.

    That is why we continue to work to ensure that all children's rights become a reality for all children!

    Nature as a learning place

    Nature as a learning place in the Mühl-fun-viertel

    The aim was to create a place where everyone can learn, play and enjoy nature. A place that reminds you how beautiful life is. A place that connects!

    A holiday paradise where performance and costs are individually coordinated, because everyone is welcome. Families, school classes, groups of children and young people, clubs, company outings and management seminars come to us.

    Directly on the lake, in the middle of nature in the border triangle - Germany, Austria, Czech Republic - the Mühl-fun-viertel was created in a place that symbolizes the connection between peoples, in a place that connects. At this location, a space was created that combines the infrastructure of youth hostels, campgrounds and seminar centers.

    We think about tomorrow and use the energy of nature. With minimal emissions, fascinating technology brings the energy of the sun, wind and water directly to the Mühl-fun-viertel. Electricity and water heating is free and environmentally friendly.

    Sustainability and careful use of our planet's resources are important priorities in the Mühl-fun-viertel. We preserve our nature so that we can show our children what great experiences one can have in it.
