Abstract
Recently, in 2015, the SCEaR Working Group Schools has taken up the initiative to develop several international educational programmes for the UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme, cooperating with its Secretariat. These programmes focus on schools and other educational institutions in interdisciplinary teaching and research networks. Arts education offers a variety of possibilities that enable a constructive and creative contribution to the world and artistic knowledge within the “Memory of the World Programme”. In three art projects at the University of Paderborn—which are presented as examples in this article—creative approaches were applied with artistic research methods. The results reflect the materiality and the value of archives and documents in the UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme. They show the potential of exploring strategies in art, history and cultural identity.
