Interactions in cultural mediation
The "Kultur macht Schule" program, which provides cultural activities for schools in Aargau, has been researched by the Institute for Art Education at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK).
Since 2005, pupils at elementary school and upper secondary level in the canton of Aargau have been able to experience cultural and artistic content as part of the program. The focus is on encounters with artists as well as an examination of the past, present and future.
In 2013, around 89,000 pupils took part in the "Kultur macht Schule" program - the canton of Aargau is well established in dealing with cultural and artistic content as part of individual education.
The publication "Wechselwirkungen. Cultural mediation and its effects" provides space for the controversial debate on the effects of cultural mediation.
19 international authors from research and practice take a reflective stance towards the discourse on impact, describe their experiences of working as cultural mediators, discuss the pitfalls of research and explore new perspectives on what impact can be.
