After successful completion of the course, students are able to design a project that is oriented towards learning 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).
The course is part of the FFG-funded project "BiB-Lab / Innovation Lab for Educational Spaces in Motion": www.bib-lab.atIn the course of the three-year research project, innovative educational spaces for learning in and out of school are being developed and exemplarily tested in the area of the Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung in the course of participation and networking processes.> Cooperative work in concrete project situations at "Grätzl-Labor" (open space for kids and young people)> 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
Workshop conception and implementation, action-oriented project work in a team, recherche, project diary, preparation of project reports
The total number of hours required for this course is 75 hours (3 ECTS = 3 x 25 semester work hours), we start in the first week of February.The LVA takes place weekly in the BiB-Lab "Grätzl-Labor", Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung, 1100 Vienna, Alma-Rosé-Gasse (U1 station Neulaa). We offer course groups with different course days (Monday to Friday), the continuous presence on site during the course times (12:00-17:00) is a prerequisite for a positive completion. Therefore, please only enrol in one of the groups if you can actually keep to the attendance times on site for the entire semester!
Regular participation in the LVA dates; development and implementation of a creative project room and activity for children and young people; logbook/project diary; preparation of a project report in which the course of the project and the associated individual and collective learning experiences are documented in text and pictures in a process-adequate manner.
Registration only by TISS-group-registration!
No special prior knowledge is required, but a special interest in working with children and young people (aged approx. 10-14 years) in a creative way that is relevant to the educational space and in communicating this with joy and commitment is a prerequisite.
