Connecting places of learning. Paths of cooperation between school, university, museums and other out-of school contexts of learning

Abstract

This paper presents three forms of cooperation between school, university, museums, and other out-of-school contexts of learning, which can be helpful for future preparations of such cooperation: the one-day events, the project week(s), and the cooperative project that partners engage in regularly over a longer period of time. Since one-day events and project week(s) are already fairly well established in school praxis, these will only be sketched briefly here while the focus is on the third, less frequently executed format. In general, none of these formats is reduced to bilateral cooperation; however, the advantages of multilateral over bilateral cooperations increase in longterm projects.
