A 1: In 2014, the Leonardo-Project “Diversity and Identity“, organized by the Käthe Kollwitz School, offers 18 students, attending a professional training to become qualified educators, the chance for a professional training abroad. The professional college for qualifying educators is a branch of the Käthe Kollwitz School and consists of a specified intercultural class with 24 students. The teachings in this class include topics such as migration, foreignness, intercultural learning, children’s bilingual-/ multi- language acquisition, inclusion, developmental theories and identity. Educational issues are discussed with regard to professional, social, political, and ethical matters, as well as practical work experiences and methods of pedagogical implementation. The intercultural class follows a specific intercultural curriculum, which can be linked to various aspects of the project i.e. diversity and identity. The project is included in the students’ second year of professional training; the participants do a six-week placement in various institutions, such as kindergarten, preschool, elementary and comprehensive school, including afternoon care. The project offers the students a variety of learning experiences and tracks diverse learning objects, for example getting to know work areas and concepts in the educational field, comparing national / local educational curricula, finding out about language acquisition concepts and teaching methods, developing professional manners, experiencing pedagogical approaches, taking part in daily working routines. The project is experienced-based and focuses on individual learning by doing, including reflections and evaluations. Thus, students will be able to gain competences in various areas such as foreign language acquisition, intercultural skills, capacity to act professionally, expansion of personal and social abilities. In addition, participants broaden their competences related to communication, self-reflection, biographical awareness, and critical thinking. Participants are prepared (counseling, application procedure, intercultural training) and supervised (teacher visits, Lo-Net, partners) by the intercultural team at the Käthe Kollwitz School in cooperation with the partners. Participants also reflect on their learning experiences during reflection days, conferences and via reports. Throughout the project students are supported in teamwork and individually. Evaluation of the project happens on a regular basis within the intercultural team and with the partners. It is presented to the public via presentations, local newspaper articles as well as the homepage (http://www.kks-marburg.de/index.php/internationales/sozialpaedagogische-auslandspraktika.html). Europass and a school certificate are established. Our partners in Sweden, Finland, Spain, France and Latvia have been working with us for many years now. We were able to gain a new partner in Ireland for 2014.
