Ich lese gerade eine hervorragende Rezension über die Kulturelle Bildung in Großbritanien und gebe diese Zitate hier weiter als Einstiegsplädoyer, weshalb ich mich für diesen Bereich der Bildung einsetzen möchte. Diese unabhängige Rezension von Darren Henley wurde vom britischen Kultus- und Bildungsministerium 2012 veröffenlicht und bietet nicht nur einen interessanten Überblick über die aktuelle Situation der Kulturelle Bildung in GB, sondern auch konkrete Entwicklungsvorschläge.
At its best, a sound Cultural Education should allow children to gain knowledge through the learning of facts; understanding through the development of their critical faculties and skills through the opportunity to practise specific art forms. Involvement with cultural activities, whether as an active participant (creating a piece of art or craft, reading a book, making a short film) or actively experiencing an event or place (visiting a heritage site, gallery or museum, seeing how a building works, watching a music, dance, or film performance) can be habit forming for the rest of a young person’s life.However, it should be noted that the quality of the interaction is of utmost importance. A poor experience during childhood could risk putting a child off future similar cultural activities into adulthood. So, it remains vitally important that all interactions that children and young people have in this area are of high quality, particularly if they are experiencing a specific area of culture for the very first time.
