FAR AWAY AND YET SO NEAR
The interactive exhibition takes children on a sensory journey to the homes of other children in the world. It is not about the exact depiction of countries, but about an insight into the diversity of life and cultures: How do clothes and hairstyles differ, what is eaten elsewhere, how do people in other countries talk and write, how do they live and work?
In dealing with these issues, children, young people and adults experience similarities between cultures, perceive differences as enrichment and learn to appreciate diversity as a value.
The exhibition promotes communication between the cultures and thus promotes integration. In the dialogue on questions of everyday life, mutual understanding grows and the fear of the foreign disappears. Especially for schools with a high migration background, this kind of lively learning can open up new ways of dealing with each other.
