Germany is constantly shaped by migration-related processes and phenomena and can thus be described as a migration society. This means that you as a teacher are confronted with the fact that today more than one third of the children in the Federal Republic of Germany have a family or own migration history. Nevertheless, this fact, in which we all (and as teachers especially) are involved, is often ignored or problematized by educational institutions by continuing to cling to natio-ethno-cultural constructions of normality. Children who deviate from this are often systematically disadvantaged in the German school system. Here, especially the elementary school as the first school for all children has the chance and duty to react accordingly. The seminar deals with historical and currently competing pedagogical responses to migration both theoretically and oriented towards action as a teacher. Through excursions into critical social work, social and cultural studies, knowledge about topics such as culture, foreignness, racism or empowerment will be gained and made fruitful for primary school pedagogical practice in order to reduce your own uncertainties and thus to be able to meet the needs of all students in the migration society.
This course is addressed to students from Regensburg university as well as to international students.
