KOMM education area

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The KOMM educational area was founded in 1984 in Nuremberg in what was then KOMM and existed until the end of March 2018. It was a voluntary group that had set itself the task of enriching cultural life in Nuremberg with ideas beyond the usual forms of institutions. The focus of his work was on exhibitions and political education for young people and adults.

In terms of content, the work of the KOMM education department was based on the ideas of socioculture . This means that people are not only seen as consumers, but should - ideally - actively participate in the creation of the product, the cultural offer. This concept of culture is based on the ideas of Joseph Beuys ("everyone is an artist") as well as those of the Nuremberg cultural advisor Hermann Glaser or the Frankfurt cultural director Hilmar Hoffmann ("civil rights culture" and "culture from all, for all") ).

Until its dissolution, the KOMM education area was an accepted factor in the Nuremberg exhibition landscape. Since 1985 he had organized and created well over 100 exhibitions and other events. These were accompanied by events that were intended to enable individual aspects to be deepened using different media.
