Online symposium on 5/6 December 2024 on ecological children's and young adult literature
What role can children's and young adult literature play in the context of sustainable, ecological education? Children's literary texts convey not only childhood images, but also images of the future and imagined worlds of nature and the environment. Ecological aspects can be conveyed to the children's reading audience in literary texts by means of perspective-taking. Children's literary texts are also slowly moving away from a Eurocentric view and highlighting global complexity. The authors of the recently published edited volume Ökologische Kinder- und Jugendliteratur: Grundlagen – Themen – Didaktik present a children's literary work in short and provide didactic impulses for its use in teaching ecological aspects in the classroom. The focus is on narrative literature from picture books to young adult novels, on poetry and drama after 1970.
Symposium: "One Day There Will Be...": Creating Knowledge – Narrating Futures
How can the understanding of science be increased? Which innovative forms of science communication have an impact? How can research-based learning in teacher training promote an understanding of science through interdisciplinary approaches? How does artificial intelligence change science teaching? What role do narratives and images, graphics and visualisations play in communicating complex contexts? What can the Anthropocene achieve as a transdisciplinary framework for thinking? What forms does children's and young adult literature take in communicating science and shaping the future? How do art and knowledge transfer interact? Which teaching methods make the value chain of knowledge visible? etc.
26-27 September, 2024 at Campus Baden of the University College of Teacher Education Lower Austria. More info on the project website and on the padlet.
Warm invitation to the Inauguration
