Impulse für [schulische] Entwicklungen aus „klassischer“ Reformpädagogik und Inklusiver Pädagogik.

Die Unterzeichner-Staaten der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention haben sich auf dem Feld der Bildung (Art. 24) zu einem umfassenden Reformprozess verpflichtet. Inklusive Pädagogik kann daher als aktuell-innovative reformpädagogische Entwicklung bewertet werden, besonders insofern sie die Möglichkeiten und Potentiale aller Schüler*innen für Aktivität und Teilhabe aufgreift. Grundlagen, Persönlichkeiten und praktische Erfahrungen aus der „klassischen“ Reformpädagogik können in vielerlei Hinsicht für diesen Prozess hilfreich sein. Sie werden in diesem Buch umfassend dargestellt und können zur Entwicklung eigener innovativer pädagogischer Praxis anregen.

Die Neuerfindung eines Naturprodukts – zwischen Mythos und Wahrheit

Milk is traditionally seen as a healthy staple food, especially in the western world. But its image has seen a significant shift in recent years. Since the cessation of EU milk quotas, the dairy industry has focused on increased production and on opening up new markets, especially in the Asian world. This expansion is leading to changes in the methods of animal husbandry. The rapid development divides milk producers into winners and losers of the restructuring. But what form of milk production do the farmers and consumers want? How healthy is milk in truth? And why is the milk market booming in the first place? What are the positive and negative aspects of this industry? Thomas Stollenwerk has written a factual book about milk that leaves no question unanswered.

When Barbara Nothegger became a mother in 2013, she and her family took the plunge and moved to a communal living project in Vienna. About 100 people got together and built an alternative living space with flexible apartments, communal gardens, open space for kids, and an ecological lifestyle. The community’s members wanted to be there for each other, just like people were in traditional villages. But how can community work in a world marked by individualism? Are communal living projects an answer to pressing issues of modern life such as isolation, rising rents, and increasingly depleted resources? Barbara Nothegger takes a look at similar living projects in Germany and Switzerland and demonstrates how good neighborhood ties create a better quality of life. She humorously portrays her own path to happiness in the communal living project.
