Sommersemester 2023

Social and political learning encourages participation and the building of a democratically, inclusively, and environmentally sustainable society. This learning takes place both in children's social and family life and in schools, especially Primary School. Currently Sachunterricht in the Primary School develop methodologies and practices to initiate and promote children's social and political learning. One of the principles of Sachunterricht includes exploring and understanding the political and social dimension of the environment and developing skills in order to deal with things in the world, among them the ability to act democratically. Its constructive perspective makes it possible to explore other places for children's learning, such as the museum. This space is favorable for children's factual learning with regard to their political and social formation, their appropriation of rights and duties, their critical and autonomous spirit, and their impact on actions in society. The Museum as a space for political and social learning applies in the curriculum and teaching of Primary School and contributes to the practices of historical and sustainable construction of objects, as well as to children's political and social relations with objects and their environment.
