After successful completion of the course, students are able to design a project that is oriented towards the common good creatively and on their own responsibility and to implement it in a team-oriented manner.
Due to the directly practice-based orientation of the course, learning results are achieved through both "headwork" and "manual work" and, in the tradition of "learning by doing", cognitive, social and emotional learning are brought together. Through networking, transdisciplinary thinking and action, a variety of positive learning experiences, both individual and collective, should be possible. The open process design should motivate students to actively and self-determinedly acquire possibilities of behaviour and action (also beyond the course framework).
> Cooperative work in concrete project situations that enable practice-oriented and independent learning> Process design by means of artistic thinking and acting in order to find creative and "other" approaches (even for seemingly complex problems)> Bringing together brainwork and manual work, cognitive and emotional learning, in order to initiate socially relevant socio-spatial innovations through diverse (including intercultural) learning experiences> Weaving of formal and informal structures to form growing networks and a solidary cooperation in order to establish or stabilise socially integrative (informal) educational landscapes
> Learning by Doing: 1:1 project conception and implementation> action-oriented project work in a team> recherche and discussion of best practice> preparation of project reports
Regular participation, 1:1 project implementation and preparation of a project report (logbook, storyboard, picture story, etc.) in which the course of the project and the associated individual and collective learning experiences are documented in text and picture in a manner appropriate to the process.
Previous experience is not required, but a special interest in working creatively with 4th grade elementary school children in design is a prerequisite.
