How can thoughts, ideas, and perspectives be expressed using analog and digital means? The summer project of wannseeFORUM and Gangway eV became a makerspace with analog and digital techniques: 3D printing and modeling with clay, cutting plotter and linocut/etching, embroidery machine and manual embroidery became a testing ground.
The seminar offered different approaches to try out forms of expression and to engage in conversation about topics such as freedom and its limits, fashion as a means of expressing opinions and as part of identity formation, justice and other socio-political issues.
Self-directed learning formed the basis of the seminar, just as it does in the Gangway eV Street College. Young people, lecturers, and social workers from the Street College, along with wannseeFORUM staff, practically tested the cooperation between a traditional educational institution and youth social work as mutual learners. The experiences from the joint summer project, held from July 22nd to 26th, 2024, will inform future collaborative seminars – including one in the summer of 2025.
The seminar was a collaboration with Gangway eV.
It was funded by the Senate Department for Education, Youth and Family
It took place as part of the collaboration in the program „Civic youth education in the AdB“ in the project group „Social Question and Civic Participation“ instead, funded by the Federal Ministry for Family, seniors, women and youth.
