The Learning Units each present arts education histories with a different geographical and historical focus. They invite to engage with histories, to reflect on one’s own previously acquired knowledge and to re-activate historical experiences in current art and education practice. Seven topics provide orientation in the resources, allowing to follow a path connecting several learning units.
The methods proposed range from individual exercises to concepts for learning processes in groups over a whole semester. As the resources have been conceived for a wide range of different learning contexts internationally each learning unit contains guidance as to who are the specific addressees and the proposed context of use – appropriations and adaptions for other contexts are welcome!

Path: “The artist” - “the child” - “the native”
This path is based on research into the discursive co-constitution of the triad of “the artist” – “the child” – “the native” and its historical connections to colonialism and mechanisms of exclusion.
Path: Archival Activism
We have to know where these ideas came from, who invented them, where and why. We have to find out how and why they circulated, how they became influential and whose interests they ultimately serve(d). And the case of the non-hegemonic concepts of art education, we have to understand where, how and why they have been suppressed and/or marginalised.
