Project Summary

“BILDUNG – MOTOR & THEATRICAL ASPECTS OF LIFELONG LEARNING” is an international cooperation for adult education. It’s aiming towards actions and insights about “learning to learn” regarding motor and theatre methodology in social work and education.
Against the background of increasing national and European tensions as well as a lack of effectiveness in the education system as shown by PISA, BILDUNG has set the goal to contribute to these fields in both a practical sense of direct-help and in a sustainable, systemic approach on an European niveau based on the diversity of methods of thematic theater and movement-methods in life long learning.

The objectives of the project are:
1. The creation of a reliable quality-measure plus an understandable guidance in the social- and educational work with theater and movement forms, specifically regarding the work with people with fewer opportunities- ergo enabling a reliable quality-management for this workfield.
2. Strengthening of European cooperation in research and development.
3. To help adults with fewer opportunities to enhance their skills, self-confidence and career opportunities in several phases of the project.
4. Making a european contribution to the development of: the educational landscape, learn learning, subjectorientation, the body’s role in learning, equal opportunities, intercultural learning and the benefits of theatrical methods.
5. The development of an empirically secured method- manual.
6. The development of an empirically and practically secure online method-pool with public availability. Third party institutions contribute and use this plattform further after the projects completion.
7. Organization and execution of a congress and trainings of regional and international multipliers.

The number of participants vary within the project-phases and -units and totals to about 20 professionals and trainees from the partner organizations, several hundreds of regional multipliers with different professional level and more than hundred participants with fewer opportunities.
The project will run for twenty month and includes three project-phases, fully documented and processed for the international public. Each phase includes five main project-units which are evenly distributed over the participating organizations..

The “Input phase” serves the collection and documentation of the methods of the individual partner organizations and the horizontal transfer of these skills to the other partners; and secondly, the development of innovative models of action which will be implemented in the next phase. In addition, regional multipliers are given the chance to participate in the method-training of the host organization. The meetings run over two and a half days at a selected venue on an average of six hours a day
.
BILDUNG will be continued in second innovative Application.
There theproject will be started again in an Input-phase to come to the „laboratory-Phase“ and include a „Multiplier-Phase“
In the “Laboratory-phase” the findings and hypotheses of the previous phases being developed further, validated and translated into practical methodology. The focus varies greatly in terms of topic, methodology, and empirical approach.

The “Multipliers- phase” at the end of the project includes a multiplier-trainings parallel conducted by the partner organization. The results of work of BILDUNG are going to be passed on at these trainings and with a BILDUNG-Congress. The project ends with a transnational conclusion-meeting in Wiesbaden.
The development of the participating institutions and professionals to “think-tanks” in the subject of “motor and theatre aspects of life long learing” – which includes a solid understanding of general educational processes, subject orientation and learning dynamics is among the most important effects of BILDUNG. They will be able to multiply their knowledge holders autonomously and sustainable.
In the context of the international project-units participants with fewer opportunities will be making important experiences find creative ways of self-expression and get supports in learning how to acquire new knowledge on their own. The cultural diversity is celebrated and seen as an opportunity and thus BILDUNG contributes to international understanding.
The outputs of BILDUNG – a online method-pool, a manual, the multiplicator-educations and the big BILDUNG-congress – may contribute to the improvement of social help- and educational processes. Especially in consideration of the BILDUNG Congress the project results will contribute to the european debates on education and help towards a more efficient and humane education systems for all age groups.
BILDUNG is going to be a vivid thematic platform for professionals from around the world and a useful key-tool for quality assurance in the social and educational work without geographical, socioeconomical or cultural limitations long after the project is completed
