V., she has headed the university working group "World Heritage Education" since 2009.

Your central teaching and research project “UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Cultural Mediation” has been investigating fundamental issues in the aesthetic mediation of the world heritage since 2001 and supports the establishment of a European-oriented world heritage education . It includes direct connections to educational practice in schools, to the German UNESCO Commission and to museum educational centers of world heritage sites, such as the Lorsch Abbey, the Augustusburg and Falkenlust castles in Brühl, the Zollverein colliery in Essen, the Museum Island in Berlin, the ore mine Rammelsberg in Goslar and the UNESCO natural heritage Kellerwald as well as the Messel pit. There has been a long-term research cooperation with Corvey Castle , Höxter. Essential elements are the development of museum cases , new concepts for e-learning and teaching materials. Since 2015, this has also included educational projects for conveying the UNESCO World Document Heritage.

Historical children's drawing research

In the course of the 20th century, drawings by children and adolescents in an authentic way and in direct visual language show the social upheavals, the dramatic change in many societies, war, suffering and displacement as well as the carefree moments of childhood, longings and feelings of peace from the perspective of adolescents formulated. As historical documents and sources, children's and young people's drawings refer not only to individual experiences, but also to the respective zeitgeist, to worldviews, indoctrinations and ideas - as well as to the eventful history of curricula and their contents in the history of the educational systems, above all the school.

It is mostly thanks to the commitment of legal guardians, teachers and supervisors that numerous drawings by children and young people in societal crises and war situations were considered valuable documents, preserved and often handed down to posterity under difficult circumstances. In various branches of research, the dimensions of the existing holdings of historical children's and young people's drawings in the archives scattered around the world have now been recognized as an important cultural asset that is worthy of protection, the diversity of which reflects the perspectives of entire generations and the associated social developments. These collections and research of historical children's drawings are dedicated to authentic and significant documents of aesthetic design and writing before digitization (up to 1995) and the associated serious changes in childhood. These stocks are of great relevance for future educational work and for interdisciplinary research.

Collections of historical children's and young people's drawings from the various periods of the 19th and 20th centuries are only partially recorded in the holdings of school museums, historical museums, state archives, university collections, libraries or private collections. However, these bundles are not integrated into the art market or the research areas of art history. The history of the origins of the collections and the origins of the children's and young people's drawings is extremely diverse in terms of cultural and educational policy and begins in part as early as the early 20th century.

The research of Ströter-Bender, in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Kunibert Bering from the Düsseldorf Art Academy is devoting himself to a research desideratum. Therefore, they founded IRAND in 2017 . International Research and Archives Network Historical Children's and Youth Drawings . In November 2017 the international conference "Childhood in Danger" - drawings by children and young people of the 20th century took place as a cooperation project between the University of Paderborn and the Art Academy Düsseldorf. In the long term, the network aims to initiate the inclusion of representative works in the UNESCO World Document Heritage. In 2020 the archive network was incorporated as: Cooperating Institution of the UNESCO Memory of the World Sub-Committee on Education and Research (SCEaR). International Advisory Committee (IAC).

Letter-ART project

The concept of the Letter-ART project "Remember 1914-1918. Art. War. Peace" is the memory of children, adolescents and young adults of the First World War in the form of art and creative comments on envelopes. It is a reminder of the traditional art of writing letters, but also of the field postcards and the move-in or death notices from authorities. These were an integral part of social life during the First World War. The peace letters of that era, such as those of the sculptor Käthe Kollwitz or those of the Worpswede artist Heinrich Vogeler, were also inspiring .

The Letter-ART project is under the patronage of the German UNESCO Commission. It cooperates with the UNESCO project schools, the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge eV and the UNESCO Memory of the World program (world document heritage). The project aims to provide impulses for thinking about the consequences of war. It also sees itself as a contribution to supporting UNESCO's peace concept. Since spring 2014, the Letter-ART works have been exhibited in UNESCO World Heritage Sites, in the Rshew Peace Park in Russia, the Marienkirche in Bonn, Corvey Castle and the University of Applied Sciences in Kiel and the University of Paderborn. More than 1000 Letter-ART works were shown in the summer of 2017 at the memorial to the First World War, the Mémorial in Sainte Anne d´Auray, France (Morbihan).
