Supplementary study Inclusion & Diversity

The topics of inclusion and diversity are cross-cutting issues in both society and education policy and are the subject of intense debate in the fields of art and education. Developing the artistic abilities of every person - regardless of age, gender, disability or origin - should be part of every artistic and artistic-educational programme and enable everyone to participate in cultural activities.

The main aim of the supplementary study programme Inclusion I Diversity is to familiarise students with this interdisciplinary subject and to enable them to work in this field. They will acquire the following skills: apply inclusion-promoting methods, act in a diversity-sensitive manner and act in a mindful and differentiated way in heterogeneous contexts sound theoretical, methodological and practical knowledge of inclusion and diversity in both the pedagogical and artistic fields skills to design artistic-pedagogical processes and projects skills to critically analyse and apply acquired principles to artistic, pedagogical and scientific areas of inclusion and diversity and their connections in theory and practice.
