AKTION Austria – Czech Republic
As part of the ‘AKTION Austria – Czech Republic’ programme, students from the University of West Bohemia visited the University of Education in Lower Austria and learned about methods of future studies.
The workshop on the topic of ‘World Cultural Heritage of the Future’, organised by the UNESCO Chair at the PH Lower Austria with Carmen Sippl and Karin Tengler, brought together teacher training students from the PH Lower Austria and the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. As part of this bilateral cooperation, the teacher training students learned about the mosaic of methods for future education, took part in a future workshop and visited the interactive exhibition ‘Future on Campus (ZaC)’ at the Baden campus of the PH NÖ. They developed their own teaching methods for futures literacy and tested them with class 4a of the Praxisvolksschule and their teacher Sonja Brauner.
The diverse range of workshops was complemented by a guided tour of Baden in the footsteps of the World Heritage Site ‘Great Spa Towns of Europe’ by World Heritage Manager Alexandra Harrer. The students, who were accompanied by OeAD lecturer Bettina Steinbauer, documented their stay at the PH NÖ in an episode of the podcast ‘Zukünfte⋅Bildung’ (Futures⋅Education) and an article in the blog ‘Das Anthropozän lernen und lehren’ (Learning and Teaching the Anthropocene), with a scientific publication to follow.
Finally, the participants attended the ÖDaF conference on ‘Culture and Society in DaF/DaZ Teaching’ in Vienna, which was thematically relevant to the exchange. This conference visit helped to use the diverse conference programme as a further training opportunity, but also as a means of exchanging knowledge and experience, in order to combine theoretical content with practical experience and to explore the teaching profession of the future.
The exchange was funded by the ‘AKTION Austria – Czech Republic’ programme of the OeAD and BMFWF.
