Dear colleagues, partners and friends of EDUCULT,

Effective research requires strong connections, both here in Europe and across the globe. Importantly, these connections can also be of direct benefit to civil society, especially if the field of culture and education aims to improve upon itself and stay relevant. Moreover, it is a chance to bring up pressing topics and to build networks which can strategically support the field. That is one of many reasons why EDUCULT was present at the International Children’s Culture Forum in Tampere, Finland this month. In co-operation with the Finnish Children’s Cultural Centers and the European Network of Observatories in the Field of Cultural and Arts Education (ENO), the Tampere Paper was developed as a thematic conclusion to the conference. Based on the Children’s Cultural Rights stated in the 1989 UN Convention, it reminds us of what should have already become reality: Securing every child’s right to participation, advancing multi-professional cooperation and partnerships, understanding diversity and the advancement of well-being, encouraging critical thinking and self-expression, building and supporting sustainable communities, arts education and finally, the need for cultural education to be founded on current and professional research.

To make this happen, we also need to think within cross-disciplinary connections – arts, culture, education, policies as well as social, economic and environmental questions are always intertwined. Different stakeholders should be involved, co-creation between public actors and the civil society brings more attention, and international cooperation in the field of culture and education should be strengthened. We try to do that in our projects here at EDUCULT. These goals may be somewhat broad, but we see research as a holistic approach to understanding our world and societies – and how to further develop them.

So, let’s keep this topic going and do our best to join together! We wish you an inspiring read!

Art and Conflict – Artists in the Wake of Illiberal Cultural Policy

Künstlerhaus Graz recently held an exhibition by the young Hungarian artist Ákos Ezer.  Under the title “Art and Conflict”, I was invited to deal with the socio-political and cultural-political context that is currently affecting contemporary Hungarian art, even though Ezer and many of his colleagues consider their artistic works to be non-political. As an Austrian, I saw it as my task not only to reflect on the current political developments in Hungary and their effects on cultural policy, but also to incorporate the current political changes that are becoming increasingly apparent in Hungary’s neighbouring countries and thus also in Austria.

First Time

The aim of the ERASMUS+ project is to strengthen international cooperation between civil society organisations in the field of lifelong learning. Project managers who (for the first time) work or want to work in an international environment shall be supported. As part of this project, we have published two research reports with our partners from Denmark, Italy, Poland and Hungary. The first study analyses the achievements and challenges faced by project managers in international civil society cooperation projects. The second study focuses on competences that are helpful and important for the successful implementation of these projects. The data sets  are based on surveys and interviews with project managers in the partner countries. The research forms the basis for developing a support portal for the first-time managers of international projects. [read more]

International Children’s Cultural Forum

Is culture and art education inclusive? How do we implement children’s cultural rights in different countries? What does the future of children’s culture and arts education look like? The first International Children’s Cultural Forum in Finland took place from the 30^th of September – 2^nd  of October 2019 in the city of Tampere. The forum’s aims were to widen international co-operation and to deepen the shared understanding of the value base of children’s rights and their role in a well-functioning society. The livestream of the Forum can be viewed online, including Aron Weigl’s lecture on the 30^th of September entitled “Worldwide cultural rights for children: arts education as a challenge of transcultural relations”. During the forum, the “Tampere Paper” was developed, which is to be understood as a recommendation for the EU and its member states on how culture for children should be supported. [read more]

The 11^th International Conference on Cultural Policy Research: Call for Papers

The 11th International Conference on Cultural Policy Research (ICCPR 2020) will be held in the historic city of Kyoto, Japan. The conference is hosted by Doshisha University in association with the Japan Association for Cultural Policy Research. ICCPR 2020’s theme is the Resilience of Cultural Policy. In the rapid globalization and digital transformation of recent years, one major challenge for cultural policy seems to be how best to maintain or strengthen regional, local or various representations of communities’ own culture. Cultural policies of many nations, in the meantime, are increasingly expected to work with (or for) other policy areas such as economic development, social inclusion and urban planning. Is such an approach to cultural policy crossing many policy areas negatively affecting ‘cultural policy proper’ concerns? Was there any time in history when cultural policy was independent, autonomous and detached from socio-economic aims of government? To what extent is cultural policy of today ‘resilient’, or should it be so? These are some of the issues this conference would like to address with invited guests and participants from all over the world. The submission of proposals is now open and EDUCULT, as part of the conference’s Scientific Committee, is excited for your submittals.

Deadline for submission of proposals: December 13th, 2019 [read more]

Question Me and Answers (QM&A): Group Exhibition & Launch Fest

The Initiative: QM&A aims to support artists who have only recently moved to Vienna to resume their artistic activities. The background to this is the problem that it is difficult for artists of all kinds to find a connection to the art market or the artists’ community in Vienna. But it is even more difficult for people who come to Vienna as migrants or refugees. They often have no network at all in the European art business and are not in a secure working relationship that would allow them to build up a network in their free time. It wants to shorten the process of networking and actively improve the networking among artists who have been living in Austria for a long time and newcomers. The basis of this project is thus active networking. [read more]

Fellowship Weltmuseum

Dear colleagues, partners and friends of EDUCULT,

 

Spring time is conference time! With the longer days come also the symposia, conferences and meetings. For EDUCULT this means currently not only the participation in external events, but also the planning and implementation of our own symposia. There are two themes that stand symbolically for what is presently driving us so strongly: contemporary developments in cultural education on the one hand and diversity and the cohesion of societies on the other.

The latter is at the heart of an international research network initiated and led by Kobe University in Japan. In February, EDUCULT was invited to exchange political strategies for dealing with migration phenomena in Kobe and to present the cultural-political situation in Austria and Vienna. It is astonishing how much Japan attaches to this topic in science, although people with a migration background make up only about three percent in the country. For economic and demographic reasons, however, more immigrants could be recruited in the near future – and the fear of an East Asian refugee catastrophe is always present. Research with wise foresight. In Austria, the topic has long since arrived in reality. We will therefore dedicate a symposium in May to questioning the roles of art and culture in social cohesion. What do participatory approaches in the field of arts and culture achieve here?

From there it is not far to the platforms for discourse on cultural education, in which we will participate, for example, next week in the conference of the Council for Cultural Education. In Münster, the question will be asked as to how research into cultural education must be conducted in order to be relevant to practice. Together with the conference participants, we want to work on the applied research, as we implement it on a daily basis, as a possible solution and think further. And at a conference organised jointly with KulturKontakt Austria in April we will discuss the consequences of digital developments for cultural education and creativity, especially in school contexts. There is no doubt that the post-digital age is also leaving its mark here. But does this possibly open up new forms of participation? That is where the circle closes …

We look forward to meeting you at one of these events and discussing the pressing social issues that concern us at the moment in arts, culture, education and politics.

In any case, we hope you enjoy reading this newsletter about our current projects.

See you soon!

Conservative – Right Wing Coalition and Cultural Politics in Austria

In 2000 there was still an impressive potential for resistance in the cultural scene, which formed an offensive front against the xenophobic policies of the new rulers. The Burgtheater actor and rock singer Franz Morak was a conservative cultural politician from the scene who took on a decidedly political mission. Andreas Kohl, then President of Parliament, said it was time to “clean up the left-wing trash”. Morak was influenced by a revanchism that grew from his bad experiences with the Burgtheater director Claus Peymann and his left-wing friends. The mastermind of the FPÖ, Jörg Haider, said at the time that the hand that feeds you should not bite. [read more]

Salon of Cultures: “What is the effect of participation in art and culture?”

The Symposium, within the context of the BRIDGING Project, is dedicated to the potentials and possibilities of co-creative activities. Co-creation promises a higher level of collaboration and co-determination by shaping the creative process in a participatory way from the very beginning. What are the advantages of co-creation in terms of inclusive exchange between all participants? Can co-creation overcome the dangers and difficulties of participatory activities? Through the presentation of the results of an Erasmus+ project on the topic and with the help of experts, these and other questions will be explained in both a moderated discussion and in small group sessions. The symposium will be held at the Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art in Vienna on the 8^th of May 2019 from 13:30 until 19:00. [read more]

Dear friends and partners of EDUCULT,

 

welcome to the EDUCULT-Newsletter starting off the new season in English: EDUCULT takes Europe!

The European Heritage Year is in its last quarter while EDUCULT is launching two new Erasmus+ projects. „Co-Creation“ aims at compiling good practices and innovative approaches for a co-creative cooperation between volunteers and professionals in culture associations, public culture institutions and the culture departments of municipalities that promote the „transformative potential“ of new public governance as well as creative empowerment. „Culture Factor“, realised together with Polish, Danish, Hungarian and Italian partners, will focus on international cultural exchange and cooperation in adult education.

While new projects emerge, the on-going „BRIDGING“ project continues to produce new results. The English version of a survey about co-creative and participative action in amateur and volunteer arts in five European countries has been published. It highlights the urgent need to define more precisely what arts education and lifelong learning should look like in order to link different social groups.

The International Conference on Cultural Policy Research in Tallinn at the end of August was particularly intense. Three of EDUCULT’s collaborators took part and presented current research results on the governance of arts education for discussion in its own panel. In general, at the conference it became clear that the sector of cultural policy research, oscillating between quantitative and qualitative methods, spans a broad field and has to repeatedly tie in with neighbouring disciplines in order to deal with relevant questions. Digitisation is one of these areas that received widespread attention in Tallinn – a topic that EDUCULT will also be dealing with more intensively in the near future.

Last but not least, the evaluation of the European Heritage Label has entered the final stage. After the last steering group meeting in Brussels, the final report is being prepared.

Have a look in these and other current projects. As always, we wish you an inspiring read!

Kids Dress Warm!

Reflections on the disputed territory between the return of grading and being held back on the one hand and the occupation with art as a form of the system liberating personality formation on the other.

Recently Heinz Fassmann, the Minister of Education of the ruling conservative/right-wing coalition, has launched another “school package”. It sees itself as a deliberate attempt to counteract the liberal and artistically motivated tendencies of current school developments. The planned measures are particularly concerned with the Neue Mittelschule (New Secondary School), which would be closed immediately. [read more]
