In 2016, another project day took place at the Tübingen Uhland-Gymnasium. Together with 10^th graders, students of anthropology under the direction of Veronika Ederer PhD spent one morning teaching lessons.

The geographic frame of the project day invited to travel to Bangladesh, India, Albania and Siberia without having to leave the classroom. And to make this morning even more exciting for the students, the organisers came up with all sorts of things: partner and team work, a fictional shamanic ritual, images and films, objects and culinary delights from India.

For the second time the SFB ResourceCultures visited the Tübingen Uhland-Gymnasium. The subject of this year's project day with 10^th grade students was ‘Culture as a Resource’. Under the direction of Veronika Ederer PhD, ethnologist, archaeologist and museum pedagogue from Zurich, students of cultural anthropology presented the project.

All lessons stressed the importance to understand living conditions radically different from what the youngsters were used to and to realise culture as a resource to cope with this. One example was education, for which children in many countries take on a burdensome way to school. Language and pictorial symbols, reflections on social types exemplified the meaning of standards, such as courtesy and greeting rules in everyday life. The background for social differentiations was highlighted by an introduction into the Indian caste system.

The variety of topics also required a variety of teaching methods. Teachers’ input, partner and group work, image review, text work and a role-playing game made the morning exciting and varied. The feedback from the students was clear: such days, with topics and teaching methods like these should happen more often!

‘Welcome to the Kulturhaus’ was the title of the project day in June 2014, which students of Eberhard Karls University held in a 7^th grade class at the Uhland-Gymnasium in Tübingen under the direction of Veronika Ederer PhD. The aim of the project day was to show the pupils the diversity and equality of human cultures and to recognise culture as a resource. Understanding different aspects of human cultures was also be made possible by the use of different approaches. A self-designed ‘Kulturhaus’ (house of cultures), in which researchers were invited to get to know a culture, served as a model.

Due to this approach, the project day turned out to be very varied and interactive. Input from teachers, tasting of African and Asian dishes, team work, a simple children's game and a group quiz took turns. The ‘Kulturhaus’ and a portfolio, in which brief background information, images, recipes and songs were collected, accompanied the motivated group of students through the morning, who visibly enjoyed the unaccustomed but highly inspiring lessons.
