first Culture as a compulsory task? - Culture for cash situation? Saxony-Anhalt is on the right track cultural education to safeguard law (Music Education Law, Law Library) and thus the recommendations of the Study Commission on Culture in Germany "to implement. How will the future of the division between subject and voluntary tasks are regulated in the culture? The article 36 of the Constitution of Saxony-Anhalt, adopted under a government with the FDP participation makes a very clear statement:
Article 36 Arts, Culture and Sport
(1) Arts, culture and sport across the country and to the communities to protect and promote.
(2) home-related facilities and characteristics of individual regions within the country are cultivated.
(3) The State and local authorities promote it in their financial capacities, the cultural activities all citizens in particular in that they maintain publicly accessible museums, libraries, memorials, theaters, sports venues and other facilities.
(4) The State provides support in the communities for the protection and maintenance of monuments of culture and nature.
(5) Details shall be the law. For the FDP, therefore culture is a compulsory task. Primarily, the funding of local authorities - amongst other by a real, task-oriented design of the Compensation Act - will be improved so that they can carry out their voluntary duties. Then, the municipalities and their elected councils themselves To decide what their cultural landscape is worth the spot.
Should be saved because of the demographic development in the field of child and youth education and culture? At this stage, the FDP sees no need for reductions in child and youth education, and in the culture. The so-called demographic rate of return should be used to further improve quality. But it is also make that support critically examine which of their listings from the respective target group really are accepted and, where appropriate, in their own interest to change.
second Participation - Social aspects
participation: Every child in Saxony-Anhalt is to have the opportunity to participate in cultural activities. How should this be implemented in practice? Already today there are a variety of cultural activities that are reduced for children or even offered for free. It must however be taken to ensure that children learn that culture is something "worth". Outside the school there are, however, first and foremost the parents who bring their children to cultural events in more detail.
Aim for special programs for "educated classes" or "socially disadvantaged" populations on what role to play in this culture and cultural education program? many cultural opportunities for people with disadvantaged social background has now reduced considerably. On the part of the federal government is also provided in the education package for vulnerable children that it includes a participatory budget for the association, cultural and holiday deals with. As cultural offers for "educated classes" can be made more attractive, is a question that must be answered before all the providers themselves.
Should there be for people with disabilities a special promotion of cultural education? The social participation of people with disabilities, not least is the cultural participation. The FDP is estimated that there are basically everyone should be able to use all the offers of the culture.
third School and non-formal education are How to network policies - youth policy, cultural policy, education policy - how can this be realized, is a permeable support arts education in these three fields in terms of a modular support reasonable and feasible? The FDP is the medium for a complete transfer of the teaching staff on the one Schulträger. Youth welfare, culture and education would be able to be from one source and in one piece. Voting problems could be resolved at the local level.
How important is to preserve cultural and aesthetic education in early childhood education preschool and how should this be encouraged? In FDP-responsibility, the Ministry of Social Affairs in the last legislative term, the program "Education: elementary introduced in the daycare. To cultural and aesthetic early education is a particularly attention is paid. In the curriculum of teacher training is also required that the communication of this Skills and the trainees to pass. This is accompanied by a change in business understanding, of course, is far from over.
How important is the education and informal education in the future gene national policy? The importance of cultural education in comparison to other (social, scientific-technical, vocational, environmental) issues? education policy is the largest political field, which is almost exclusively the responsibility of the countries. For this reason alone it will retain its outstanding character continues. Cultural education is about learning and traditional modern culture techniques is the key to education more dar. The transmission of culture also forms the basis of social life. Cultural education is the view of the FDP is an important investment in the future. By transmitting cultural values and artistic skills to children and young people independent and responsible behavior are enabled.
How important are cultural education in schools? Should they be free for students? cultural education have a high intrinsic value. Offerings in schools are free of charge as part of the curriculum. In the use of cultural facilities supplementing the teaching should be the students recognize that they cost something. Only then will they also be prepared later, for example, through taxes or entrance fees to fund cultural activities. For students who can not afford a fee, it must give assistance which enables them to participate. In the education from the government this is by design.
How in the range of all-day schools, professional quality - be assured - for example, with offers from artists? The FDP believes that of all-day schools in particular afternoon deals should be made by associations and independent providers. Artistic work is beyond the regularly rated by objective quality criteria. In particular, the teachers and the parents are invited to observe because of the extent that such offer meets their needs and quality expectations.
See it as a national task to record the activities and products of cultural education training across the country to improve in school / day school information and impact of cultural education? Schools are required to ask for references from suppliers and to find out from other institutions. Saxony-Anhalt's Schools must already provide to regular internal and external evaluation, this should also be included with such offers. The relevant organizations to help in the selection are generally happy and are therefore also supported by the country. In particular, since the cultural scene is very lively, it would be illusory to capture all current deals.
4th Special scenes How should be introduced to children and young people to theater or to the theater in the country? The country and the communities support the accession of children and young people in the theater with significant financial resources. This will remain so. The visit of theaters or theater people in schools will remain safe in the future the traditional means. As the organizers put on successful children and young people work near the theater, but they must decide for themselves. Here, the use of drama teachers and youth clubs have proved very successful.
Will the country be involved in the continuation of the multi-generational housing and intergenerational projects? The country and the federal government are already committed and the FDP will continue to do so.
Music: Keep an initiative, such as "Instrument for Every Child" (NRW program) would be useful in Saxony-Anhalt? "JeKi" was a very ambitious and in the basic intention most certainly laudable program of the CDU / FDP government in North Rhine-Westphalia. It probably has a similar initiative to such an extent never previously given. Due to lack of experience had "JeKi" inevitable weaknesses, especially it came to the long-term success, which, unfortunately, not long ago stopped everywhere. For the structures in Saxony-Anhalt "seems JeKi inappropriate particularly welcoming the lack of professionals in music lessons at the moment.
How important in the future state policy literature have and reading skills, which plays the role of children and youth education? What role does culture play in integrative projects for migrants? The joy of reading is the key to reading ability. In Saxony-Anhalt are already some interesting projects with state support, which should also be continued. Girls read, on average, than boys and therefore probably have a better reading skills. In the next few years will increasingly aim attention must be directed, can succeed as to be able to inspire boys (again) for reading. In German class and should have more young literature from the country found itself account for the interests of the students to speak better and to give new authors a recommendation.
For integration projects for people with an immigrant background culture certainly plays a major role. Last but not least just opened cultural interest in learning the German language.
Will it be within a range of "integration of migrants" is a targeted promotion? How important is to have future media education in Saxony-Anhalt, how can citizens participate in media (open channels, non-commercial local radio stations) here? as social welfare institutions, this is primarily a matter for local authorities. Already now there are interesting projects for the integration of migrants, sometimes with the support of the country. Because at the moment no concessions are planned.
media education will have to get in the future a greater role to prepare children and young people to the requirements of the information society. The chances but also the risks associated with the use of media, must be part of the interdisciplinary teaching. Instead of state control by banning the FDP is primarily on voluntary commitments by the companies. Therefore, we support initiatives that children, teachers and parents in the critical use of media content train and train. Community media can help for sure. They provide an impetus for social and cultural activities. The FDP sees the work of community media as an indispensable part of the media landscape in Saxony-Anhalt and advocates continue to promote them. The clubs need to develop itself a contemporary speech, especially for young people. Good examples for this already.
institutional development: Is the state government prepared to support the cultural landscape support in the acquisition of EU projects and European funds in organizational and substantive as (counseling, co-financing, guarantees)? The country is already helping in the acquisition of European funding. What, however, concerned co-financing and guarantees to prove in the future the support that each project is eligible and possible aid.
5th Popular culture, high culture, cultural industries How important is the so-called mainstream culture in comparison to "high culture", is how this will affect the country's development? The promotion of culture is primarily the responsibility of municipalities. The municipalities are financially equip so that they can also meet these. Therefore, the FDP faction in the parliament in 2009 own draft revenue sharing law provided for local authorities, which failed, unfortunately, the CDU and SPD. here envisaged increases in allocations to local governments in the amount of € 170 million financing from the state budget has also been demonstrated. High culture, however, has such a high deficit, that it can not be borne solely by local authorities. There is also still in the national interest, supporting act. It will be no cuts. The same applies to the promotion of popular culture across the country, which should be continued at the current level.
Could and should by actions of state policy, the "climate" for popular culture, folk art, amateur art, children's and youth culture be improved? This is primarily the responsibility of local players, the country should strictly speaking not here. But the country will be as before, with grants for projects and organizations, as well as cultural education in the schools support.
What value in cultural promotion is to have the Sachsen-Anhalt Art Foundation with regard to mainstream culture? On purpose of the foundation, namely the promotion of fine and applied arts, the performing arts, film and theater, media arts, literature and music, and interdisciplinary projects should not be shaken. The promotion of projects to mainstream culture is communal task.
How can graduates of artistic, cultural and educational and cultural studies courses in Magdeburg, Halle and Merseburg be held in the country? Are there plans to strengthen the cultural industry? that the graduates of our universities throughout Germany and are in demand abroad is, indeed, first of all a good sign for the quality of the studies. Demographic change will provide them with more long-term prospects in Saxony-Anhalt. How many employment opportunities exist for graduates of artistic and cultural programs there, but is mainly a question of how much companies, communities and society as a whole art and culture is worth, not least in competition for financial resources to social policies.
The cultural industries have in fact recognized more by politics than fruitful hybrid of culture and business. In particular, the economic development should be treated the same artists as self-employed. With the Education Ministry finally acknowledge the reality and separate itself from the image of the artist must be dependent on government subsidies. At the federal tax law as the country needs, together with the cultural industries in a simple tax rules for artists Gallery owners, art or music teacher penetrate, taking particular account of many long preparation phase and prior-period revenues. To provide affordable social security for artists, the artists' social fund will remain in their structure.
