Aim

handed down through verbal language, sound language, performance and images, cultural codes generate world views and identities. Perceiving language, media, forms of visual and performing arts as well as sound art as code systems, reflecting critically on them, and using them creatively for primary school teaching succeeds on the basis of basic subject-specific and subject-didactic knowledge about aesthetic coding and decoding strategies. Encoding and decoding messages, taking into account their (cultural, historical, spatial, ecological, and medial) contexts, enables transformative learning processes in the creative engagement with the delicate balance between humans/environment or nature/culture
