Mirrors, windows and sliding glass doors! Design the learning environment in an anti-bias manner

Post date April 8, 2024

Children need materials that act like “mirrors, windows and sliding glass doors” (Rubine Sims Bishop): mirrors in which they can find themselves and the worlds they live in; Windows that allow you to see the diversity of the world; Sliding doors that allow insights into the previously unknown and the change between different worlds. This is particularly important for children who are socially marginalized and are still underrepresented or stereotyped in materials.
In the workshop you will receive a short introduction to the approach of prejudice-conscious education and upbringing© as well as insight into the basic principles of the discrimination-sensitive design of learning environments. The focus of the workshop is on children's books. Exchange rounds enable self- and practical reflection.

The country focus is Peru.
In this year's edition of the festival we would like to bring you closer to the diversity of the third largest country in South America after Brazil and Argentina! Peru is largely located in the Amazon rainforest. Mostly known for Machu Picchu, an ancient Inca sanctuary high in the Andes, and numerous other archaeological sites of the Inca culture.

CineLatino 2024 focuses on the population groups of Peru, on the longest mountain range in the world: the Andes. What opportunities do the different generations of the Altiplano have in the face of climate change, marginalization and destruction of indigenous cultures?

Opening on Thursday, May 2nd at 20 p.m. in Stuttgart
The festival begins in Stuttgart on Thursday, May 2.5nd. at 20 p.m. with the film “Las hijas” (The Daughters) by Kattia G. Zúñiga, Panama/Chile 2023, 80 min., OmeU, which was awarded “Best Film” in Malaga. Two sisters on a journey to visit their father make new friends, flirt and discover their sexuality. A colorful teenage life towards emancipation.

Another reference to a Stuttgart specialty:
Thematic afternoon, this time about Nicaragua
1979 revolution in Nicaragua - back then the beginning of a dream for many leftists and today?
A dream of revolution, documentary, 95 minutes, written and directed by Petra Hoffmann

When the revolution triumphed in Nicaragua almost 45 years ago, a dream began. A young generation takes over the government in a country of great utopia. From West Germany alone, 15.000 “Brigadists” are coming to rebuild the country that has been bled dry: Liberals, Greens, trade unionists, social democrats, leftists and church representatives harvest coffee and cotton, build schools, kindergartens and hospital wards. No movement has mobilized so many people. What happened to the wishes and dreams of revolutionaries and their supporters?
Petra Hoffmann, who will be available for the interview, was unable to travel to Nicaragua to film due to the current political situation, the Ortega dictatorship.
For her film, she uses historical film clips, statements from those involved in the trial, but also statements from former comrades in arms from Europe with whom she met in Costa Rica on the border with Nicaragua.

ESD network meeting – talk to each other and learn from each other

Post date March 12, 2024

How can we enable people to act sustainably? What experiences do educational actors from a wide variety of subject and action contexts have when teaching ESD? Are there insights, messages or examples that are transferable from which we can learn from each other?

The world is becoming more and more complicated and confusing. In order to develop an understanding of social, ecological and economic connections, a variety of different perspectives are required. Education for sustainable development aims to show connections and effects using a variety of perspectives and make them tangible.

With short impulses and exchanges, we want to jointly explore the added value of education for sustainable development across thematic boundaries, make it tangible and mutually benefit from our experiences.

Impulses
• The fair computer mouse, Nager IT, Susanne Jordan
• Plastic'up, let's do it! A practical implementation of the 2030 Agenda, Cathy Pla-to
• FairLaufen in Stuttgart – digital city rally, Welthaus Stuttgart, Esma Ki-zilaslan
• Together we can fix any thing, iFixit, Adriana Zwink
• ESD in nature and environmental protection, Baden-Württemberg Environmental Academy, NN
• Commitment to ESD in schools, Teachers for Future, NN
