Cultural Education
|
The Ernst Schering Foundation seeks to contribute to the promotion of the cultural and artistic education of children and young people. To this end, the Ernst Schering Foundation supports innovative projects and programs that provide children and young people with an age-appropriate approach to art and enable them to experience and understand art with all their senses. Whether it is dance, theater, painting or music: Bringing young people in contact with artists and cultural institutions increases their interest in art and culture. They receive important stimuli for their personal development and are encouraged to draw on their creative potential and to express their ideas, fantasies and points of view in their own artistic way. With these programs, the Foundation also aims to compensate for the well-known deficits in education by offering integrative programs for children and young people from socially educationally disadvantaged families.

Spiel oder nicht Spiel? Theaterprojekt für Jugendliche
|
Was ‚echte' von ‚gespielten' Situationen unterscheiden helfen kann, ist das Gefühl zu spielen, und dies nicht nur auf einer Theaterbühne. Das Spielgefühl kann alle befallen, Akteure genauso wie beteiligte oder unbeteiligte Zuschauer - denn letztlich handelt es sich um eine Modulation ihrer Wahrnehmung. Am 26. Januar untersuchte der Berliner Regisseur Julian Klein in der Komischen Oper in einem Theaterworkshop für und mit 10 Berliner Stipendiaten der START Stiftung dieses Spektrum des Spielgefühls. |

Curious about Sculpture?
|
This is the question asked at this year’s Children’s Day at the Bode Museum – a multifaceted topic! On October 21, 2012, from noon to 5 p.m., children especially aged 5 to 12 are invited to discover the museum’s collection of sculptures and statues that span more than 1,000 years of history. A variety of guided tours suitable for children, which form the core of the program, invite the children to immerse themselves in the Bode Museum “universe,” to focus on and explore the museum’s works of art. |

Empty Nest at the DT's Kinderzimmer
|
Since last year, the Ernst Schering Foundation has supported the Kinderzimmer or Children’s Room of the Deutsches Theater, a new and rather unconventional venue for children and teenagers. Now the green container in front of the theatre is open for the summer season, with its rear wall folded back in order to create an open-air stage. In “Empty Nest” (première June 7, 2012, 8 pm) actors of the youth club will present scenes evolving around endings and new beginnings as well as good and bad memories that took place in their childhood room. |

At Night in the Children’s Room
|
07.03.2012, Berlin | Since October 2011, the Deutsche Theater (DT) boasts of a new, rather unconventional venue: the Children’s Room. Following a 10-day fall camp, where 80 teenagers had discussed the question, “What Do We Need?,” it is now up to students at a DT partner school to move into the green container in front of the Deutsche Theater and fill the space with instruments and imagination. Under the tutelage of two artists, the 8th-graders will develop a play that will deal with the dark sides of young people’s lives. In a very literal sense: When night falls in the Children’s Room, nothing is like it is during the day. |

What Do We Need? – More Room for Children’s Creativity
| 05.10.2011, Berlin | The Deutsche Theater (DT) opens a new, quite distinctive venue: the Children’s Room. On October 4–15, 2011, eighty children and teenagers will participate in a fall camp at the Deutsche Theater and over a period of 10 days talk about the question of “What Do We Need?” In a total of six groups, the young people will try to come up with answers to this question by staging plays and creating spaces, images and music. The results will be presented to the public on October 16, 2011, at 4 p.m., at the Kammerspiele and in different locations in and around the DT (hall, box, Reinhardt Room, square in front of the DT). This event will kick off a long-term “occupation of the children’s room” – the design of a container, as a space by young people for young people, which will at times be used for art projects, first in the hall, and starting in March 2012, on the square in front of the Deutsche Theater. | |
“what happens then” – Existence and Its Consequences
| 29.05.2011, Berlin | On June 15, 2011, at 7:00 p.m., there will be the premiere of the third and final part of a three-year children’s and youth theater project initiated and run by Theater o. N., which aims to help young people overcome cultural poverty by actively involving them in the development of a play. “what happens then” depicts and analyzes the life situation of five young people from Berlin-Hellersdorf: Kati, Marie, Laura, Jeffrey and Stefan. While the theatrical work first seemed foreign and exhausting to them, it also aroused their curiosity to the point that they decided to get involved; since January 2011, they have met once a week as well as for additional rehearsals. |  |
Expert Forum on Open Education Programs
| 25.01.2011, Berlin | What can be accomplished by out-of-school courses and educational programs that are open, without application, to children and youth? Where children from a variety of backgrounds can come and participate as they please? How is it actually possible to structure and plan such programs and courses? In light of the current public and political debates about the effectiveness of education, providers of open education programs put their work up for discussion: During an expert forum entitled “Art is open: Arts and cultural education programs in the contexts of emancipation, social work, and art education,” the Jugend im Museum e.V. association and the Berlinische Galerie – State Museum of Modern Art, Photography, and Architecture will join initiators and promoters of arts and culture education for children and youth, artists, museum staff, teachers, and educators to discuss the individual and emancipatory qualities of open arts and cultural programs. |

“Unter Strom/Wir bauen Musik”
| 15.09.2010, Berlin | Entitled “Unter Strom/Wir bauen Musik” (Electrified/We Are Building Music), a project has been launched by the Hans Werner Henze Music School in Marzahn-Hellersdorf, which aims to get children and youths excited about music while also drawing links to science and technology. Reaching out to the teenagers by focusing on a form of music a lot of them connect to at this age, the project was initiated on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of a musical instrument, which is considered to have paved the way for electronic music – the “trautonium.” |  |
Children’s and Youth Theater Project of the Theater o.N. | Zinnober
| 24.08.2010, Berlin | How do we get children and youths who are not exposed to the arts in their family environment excited about theater, music or art? In close cooperation with teachers in Hellersdorf, the Theater o.N. | Zinnober under the direction of Ania Michaelis gets the very youngest involved in developing a play and thus caught up in creating and experiencing art. Since March 2010, an actress, a director, a musician, and a costume designer of the Theater o.N. have worked with sixteen first, second, and third graders at the Grundschule am Schleipfuhl, an elementary school in Berlin-Hellersdorf. For six months, the artists and children dreamt, romped and argued, built masks and rehearsed. |
