Schools and Museums in a Society Shaped by Migration
Conference Held on 13–14 October 2014 to Mark the Completion of the Diversity in Schools Project (video recording available, in German)
The Jewish Museum Berlin organized the conference Schools and Museums in a Society Shaped by Migration for teachers, school social workers, museum staff, and experts in diversity and anti-discrimination.
We presented the experiences and results of the Diversity in Schools project and several of the museum’s other collaborations with schools. Educators were invited to share ideas with experts on the best way to deal with heterogeneity in schools. We questioned how learning settings and change processes at schools could be structured and reflected on what a non-discriminatory school and museum culture might look like.
