Ernest Jouhy (1961)

Ernest Jouhy (actually: Ernst Leopold Jablonski ; * 1913 in Berlin ; † 1988 ) was an educational and cultural scientist. Jouhy stands - together with Manès Sperber and Ivan Illich - in the tradition of a "German-Jewish cosmopolitan" education.

Life

Ernst Jablonski received the code name Ernest Jouhy in the Resistance , which he retained after 1944. He went to school in Berlin, organized in a socialist student group, joined the Communist Party and in 1933 from the University of Berlin relegated . He emigrated to France in 1933. Since February 1939 he worked for the "Comité israélite pour les enfants d'Allemagne et d'Europe centrale réfugiés en France" as an educator in the Château de la Guette in the Île de France with unaccompanied young refugees from the " Reich ", a project of Rothschild family . In 1939 he obtained a diploma in psychology from the Sorbonne in Paris. In the French resistance he belonged to the Mouvement des Ouvriers Immigrés and participated in the disintegration of the military strength of the German armed forces .

After the war he worked in home education in France before becoming a teacher at the Odenwald School in 1951 . In 1952 he left the KPD. In 1959 he received his doctorate in psychology from the Sorbonne. In 1968/69 he went first as a lecturer, then as a full professor for social pedagogy at the University of Frankfurt , where he was able to set up an institute for "Pedagogy: Third World" and a course of the same name in the educational science department.

After preliminary considerations and the search for a suitable location, Ernest Jouhy founded a non-profit association in 1961 in Châteauneuf-de-Mazenc , Drôme , the FIEF (Foyer International d'Etudes Françaises), which is open to schoolchildren, teachers and students of all nationalities. He chose this location because it symbolizes the feudal repression of absolutist rule as well as the traces of resistance against fascism and the German occupation and also in relation to the liberation of the Vercors and is therefore particularly suitable for Franco-German encounters.

He is considered one of the founders of intercultural learning . The terms “ ethnocentrism ” and “Eurocentrism”, which he defined early on in the German context, are now among the fundamental concepts in connection with the one world problem , the dependency theory and the north-south divide , as well as global learning .

In 1983 he received the Great Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany
