The project is dedicated to contemporary, participatory literary history didactics based on the Romantic period and is being realised in cooperation with learning partners outside of schools. The aim is also to strengthen systematic collaboration between regional and national cultural institutions, schools/teaching and academic didactics, with the goal of achieving a multidimensional, interactive development of literary, artistic and cultural-historical evidence to promote the cultural and aesthetic education of young people.
On the teaching side, teachers should be able to access tried and tested concepts and (also digitally supported) teaching impulses that enable the integration of exhibition content from the Deutsches Romantik-Museum (Frankfurt am Main), the Pomeranian State Museum (Greifswald), the Beethoven-Haus Bonn and other possible partners into the area of literary history in German lessons, but also into parts of teaching in the subjects of visual arts or music.
On the institutional side, further development processes are to be stimulated, accompanied and evaluated, which enable dialogue with and the development of new target groups in the education system and thus also convey the relevance of cultural institutions for the future. On the didactic and scientific side, we plan to design an innovative didactic approach to the history of literature that we will accompany scientifically and put into practice, taking into account not only the current state of research, but also current social and digital developments.
The central goals of the inter-state and inter-institutional cooperation project are
- Support young people's encounters with the literature, art and culture of the Romantic era and reflect on the significance of literary and cultural-historical objects for individual personal development,
- Promote cultural and aesthetic education and domain-specific competences in the field of literature and history didactics as part of German lessons and the related subjects fine arts and music,
- Participatory, dialogue-based and process-oriented further development of the teaching of the cultural heritage of the Romantic era through the systematic collaboration between academic and cultural institutions and concepts involving important groups in the education system (pupils, teachers, disseminators),
- Further develop didactic-academic concepts for a reflexive, interdisciplinary teaching approach to literary history oriented towards an extended concept of text in cooperation with learning partners outside of schools,
- Support systematic, practice-orientated and interdisciplinary collaboration between academia, schools and cultural institutions from the perspective of internal and inter-institutional development processes.
