Re­spect — Be­ing dif­fe­rent tog­e­ther: an in­no­va­ti­ve ex­hi­bi­ti­on at the Mu­se­um der Ar­beit

The “Re­spect” ex­hi­bi­ti­on at the Mu­se­um der Ar­beit curr­ent­ly in­vi­tes vi­si­tors to rethink key is­sues re­la­ting to iden­ti­ty, dis­cri­mi­na­ti­on and equa­li­ty. Young peo­p­le aged 14 and over and young adults can ex­pe­ri­ence a di­ver­se pre­sen­ta­ti­on that not on­ly of­fers ex­ci­ting im­pul­ses for self-re­flec­tion, but al­so pro­mo­tes dia­lo­gue about re­spectful in­ter­ac­tion in school, edu­ca­ti­on and pro­fes­sio­nal life. Wi­th a com­bi­na­ti­on of short texts, vi­deo clips, playful mo­du­les and in­ter­ac­ti­ve places for de­ba­ting, “Re­spekt” crea­tes a li­vely at­mo­sphe­re for re­flec­tion and dis­cus­sion about li­ving tog­e­ther in a di­ver­se so­cie­ty.

School clas­ses and youth groups in par­ti­cu­lar be­ne­fit from cus­to­mi­sed of­fers: In ad­di­ti­on to an ac­com­pa­nied vi­sit to the ex­hi­bi­ti­on wi­th re­flec­tion and eva­lua­ti­on pha­ses, the fo­cus is on work­shops that teach to­pics such as a strong class com­mu­ni­ty or how to deal wi­th dis­cri­mi­na­ti­on in a prac­ti­cal and ac­tion-ori­en­ta­ted way. Un­der ex­pert gui­dance, par­ti­ci­pan­ts de­ve­lop their own codes of va­lues for suc­cessful co­exis­tence and learn how they can stand up for others. The ex­hi­bi­ti­on is de­si­gned to go bey­ond tra­di­tio­nal edu­ca­tio­nal for­mats and open up new spaces for di­ver­si­ty sen­si­ti­vi­ty and de­mo­cra­tic co­exis­tence.
