FIRST GAP SESSION:
stirring paper presentation:
lifelong learning of children and adults: not just school: many people/studies look at school: we want to get out of this: there is always learning in children: in consumption, in tv, in interaction, in play, everywhere and at every time...
childhood in the degrowth and other movements often neglected: ex. human blockades by children: children will be exposed to what we do now: needed in the conference, child-unfriendly environments: education of adults well-recognized but may be too late: some things you cannot learn at adult state: learning group and gardening group do not mention children: applause!
back to stirring paper: childhood has changed: children have been more embedded: nowadays children like adults put into schedules: islands without interaction: How has childhood been before..?
on the other hand: children like and learn experiences: in DG society CH should be enabled to make experiences:
Negative facts due to modern society: bad motor abilities: concentration difficulties in schools: no first-hand experience with/of nature: teachers show how nature is: abstraction from the very beginning
Four lines from stirring paper:
1. town-planning interventions: free movement + security + participation
2. social dimension: image of children, etc.
3. economic interventions: work time, consumption
4. pedagogical interventions:
Summary from BCN mere collection of what is known since years
yesterday's presentation: degrowth is not less of the same: doing things differently: a metamorphosis
Group Phase! Splitting:
Presi:
I: more general talk: image of childhood: we need a new comprehension of childhood: get rid of "childhood" and "children"
II: up in trees: why aren't young people here (at degrowth)?
III: evolutionary basic needs of children and how to satisfy them?
VI: alle Kraft für kindheitsgerechte Entwicklung (that's degrowth)
V: feeling of being needed: society where they are needed and participate:
VI: laws and scientific studies to put things in to practice: right to play in UN children rights: not translated into German.
… several more to be put on a list tomorrow ...
GAP II:
Introduction round of new members:
how to organize?: focus on three most important things: use the categories of the stirring paper
putting all the topics on the blackboard
we are discussing too much about how to organize our discussion and selection of topics
10 point voting system of (I don't know how many) "proposals": groups of topic are organized: some proposals for action emerge:
Again: Why are there no children under 18?: not well communicated + not interesting: democracy and participation, rights and school system would be interesting for them
6 topic dimensions:
1. economic
2. social
3. urban
4. pedagogical intervention
5. political
6. others
Topics proposed for group work:
- schools & learning
- childhood/concept
- urban space
- anthropologically founded needs of children
- action & strategies (work on proposed actions, overlap with other groups is fine/intended)
- economy & work
- feedback work & presentation
GAP III:
"Kleine Anfrage stellen" for the translation of the "right to play"
Put the article of UN human right convention again in the center of the attention: Nachtrag: notice that there were also some critical voices concerning the article
Childhood today = legal and social discrimination:
