Workshop with the 5th grade of Gutenberg Gymnasium. From their website www.gutenberg-gymnasium.de
“Students in grades 5 and 6 experience culture in their classes, focusing on music, art, or sports: literature, theater, art, wind instruments, pop, and sports. The culture classes create opportunities for identification and a sense of community without a sense of competition. They are supported by a team consisting of a class teacher, a culture teacher, and student mentors, our culture coaches.
In an additional culture lesson per week, six activity days throughout the school year, and through exchanges with Mainz cultural institutions, the children can develop their individual potential. Through these projects, interests are deepened, creative processes are awakened, and the joy of doing things is experienced. The climax is the workshop evening at the end of the orientation phase: All sixth-grade students prepare a colorful presentation on a common theme.”
“The “Zentrum Baukultur Rheinland-Pfalz” (Rhineland-Palatinate Center for Building Culture) serves as a forum for the current debate on planning and construction, as well as the social conditions that determine them. Its goal is to promote building culture, the art of building, and environmental design. Building culture and architecture, as a shared responsibility, are to be raised more prominently, in recognition of their significance for everyday life. As a vibrant event venue and meeting place for all topics related to building culture, architecture, and urban planning, the public gallery serves as a platform for communicating building culture.”
