Go into the City. Extracurricular Field Trips
Dresden
- for Prague: see below -
School should prepare students for life outside sustainable. That means that teachers should, as much as possible, bring aspects of the world outside into the classroom or that they should leave the classroom to go into the real world. It is, after all, easiest for a person to discuss, ponder, and reflect on the things they have experienced themselves, especially in community.
"Go out of school into the city" is a concept that takes this didactic approach as described. At extracurricular learning locations, students are encouraged to gain experiences then to talk about and reflect on them and finally to make these places their own through connections to their lives and experiences.
This is often much easier and more long lasting than you might think. If you have a few simple guidelines in place, a museum comes to life, a memorial place becomes a place of encounters, or a theatre a fantastical game.
The training, led by experienced teachers and educators from the fields of museum, theatre, and memorial places, introduces a technique of developing out-of-school learning venues using specific, student-centred methods. These can also be easily transferred to other extracurricular learning locations such as monuments, churches, mosques and much more.
Content:
1. Pedagogy and didactics of extracurricular learning locations
2. Introduction, testing and reflection of site-specific methods. A single day is dedicated to each of the following three points. Working is done at the various locations.
