About the
Event

In the 2016/17 school year, a new curriculum for history, social studies and political education went into effect in Austria. The aim of the new curriculum is to foster a “reflective and (self)-reflexive awareness of history and politics” in young people. Together with educational and museum experts we will discuss the contribution museums can make towards achieving this goal as places of learning outside the classroom. What possibilities do examining authentic objects and learning “at the original location” open up? How do museums create a positive setting for dealing with controversial topics? What opportunities does a combination of science and an artistic/aesthetic approach present for helping 12-18 year olds learn about history in a pluralistic society?
