Mentoring Programme 

The Academy of Unlearning by kulturen in bewegung is a mentoring programme for migrant and BIPoC women* in art education. It connects them with art educators in Viennese institutions to gain a deeper understanding of this field of work, to grow personally and to develop a network in the respected field.

In one-on-one- meetings, mentees gain an insight into the activities and structures of a cultural institution and work with their mentor to develop a final project idea, which is is then implemented in the institution's art education programme.

The workshop programme, in which all mentors and mentees take part, discusses current issues in critical art education and gives inspiration for the design of the final project idea.

The Academy of Unlearning is a place for encounters and collective learning based on the appreciation of different disciplines and a wide range of experiences. Unlearning means consciously questioning certain convictions, habits or bodies of knowledge to create space for new perspectives and to critically reflect on institutional power structures.

Academy of Unlearning will take place again in 2025. The open call for participation will be announced via the website, newsletter, social media and partner institutions.
