School partnerships

The focus of school projects is on artistic research: As part of the school partnerships initiated by HKW, on project days and weeks schoolchildren do research together with artists, examine the meaning of the topics negotiated at HKW for their own lives and work on their findings artistically in presentations or workshops. The aim is to integrate new topics and methods into school practice and to enable the world to be explored through artistic research.

Audio walks: Starting beginning of June 2021

As part of Education Shock, students teamed up with artists ans engaged with their school buildings of the 1960s and 1970s. They devised a manifesto for the design of good learning environments. Starting in June 2021, the eight participating Berlin schools and the students’ visions can be explored on audio walks.

Dear Future, November 18 & 19, 2021

Schools are laboratories for the society of tomorrow. But how can they enable democratic, self-determined and sustainable action? At eleven Berlin schools, students, along with artists and everyday experts, explore the question of how schools can give them tools for actively shaping their lives.

The climate crisis is the greatest challenge of our era. How can the experiences that young activists of the Fridays for Future movement gather outside of school can be taken back to school? Artistic approaches for a climate-neutral school.

New Experts!

In their school lives, teens in particular are experts in the immigration society yet they rarely have a say about it. Since December 2016, students at the Staatliche Europa-Schulen in Berlin have been seeking new imagery, presentation formats and narratives that do justice to their points of view.
