Deutschlandbezogene Bildungsbiographien durch PASCH-Initiativen
In der vorliegenden Studie wird untersucht, welche Faktoren den Deutschlandbezug von PASCH-Alumni beeinflussen. Hierfür wurden eine Fragebogenerhebung und Gruppeninterviews mit PASCH-Alumni aus Bulgarien, Ägypten und Brasilien durchgeführt. Außerdem wurden Expert:innen der entsprechenden Länderkontexte befragt. Zentrale Faktoren für einen nachhaltigen Deutschlandbezug sind demnach einzelne PASCH-Aktivitäten und die Rolle der Lehrkräfte bzw. der schulischen Kontextbedingungen. Für die AKBP bedeutet dies v.a. die Lehrkräfte zu stärken, Alumni-Netzwerke inkl. Aktivitäten auszubauen sowie die einzelnen länderspezifischen Kontexte für den Erfolg der PASCH-Initiative verstehen zu lerne
Australia: at a glance
A middle power globally and an important epicentre in the Southern Hemisphere, Australia enjoys a very favourable reputation around the world: from sun-drenched beaches, ancient Aboriginal culture, to world-class universities. External cultural policy is often disguised as economic diplomacy. Also closely knit with commercial interests is Australia’s strongest ECP asset – international tertiary education
Diversity and inclusion in international cultural relations
In the field of international relations and transnational cooperation, normative attitudes and values of foreign cultural and educational policy (FCEP) sometimes precede practice in Germany and within internationally active organisations. However, in order to be able to act credibly to the outside world, cultural mediator organisations in particular should also implement structures of diversity and inclusion. In this study, the concepts of diver-sity and inclusion will be explained, a selection of existing measures will be presented and concrete steps for implementing diversity and inclusion will be shown. For the area of for-eign cultural and educational policy, this results in suggestions as to how a corresponding cultural change within organisations could be supported
An Exercise in Sitting with Discomfort
Temporary international relocation initiatives (TIRIs) for artists and cultural workers are a form of international solidarity. Yet they are embedded in a context shaped by colonial history and global North-South power dynamics. In this report, the authors draw on the experiences of relocated artists as well as those of team members within TIRIs and host organisations to examine if TIRIs are currently equipped to identify power asymmetries, injustice, discrimination and racism at individual, institutional and structural levels and to effectively mitigate them. Finally, they develop holistic practical recommendations for greater equity and justice as well as an anti-racist approach for TIRIs and host organisations. This report addresses decision-makers and teams in TIRIs and host organisations, arts institutions, funders and policymakers. Both recognizing the existence of structural, systemic and individual injustice, racism and discrimination, and contributing to their eradication requires discomfort and constant self-reflection. Therefore, this report is an exercise in sitting with discomfort. The authors see this discomfort as a catalyst for change processes - an engine to sustain pressure to enact this change that cannot simply be dissolved by individual action
Singapore: at a glance
As a small state, one of Singapore’s primary goals is to find its niche identity and balance its economic and cultural agendas in practicing cultural diplomacy and expanding foreign policy space. Singapore focuses on people-to-people diplomacy and invites actors overseas and across all social sectors to shape public diplomacy under state-driven initiatives. It continuously places a high priority on education and research over arts and culture in its ECP
