Prickelnde Literatur

Die Steirischen Literaturpfade machen jetzt Schule: Priv.-Doz. Mag. Dr. Andrea Hofmeister, Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wernfried Hofmeister, Dr. Ylva Schwinghammer und Mag. Jürgen Ehrenmüller bilden das Projektteam (v.l.)

Die Steirischen Literaturpfade machen jetzt Schule: Priv.-Doz. Mag. Dr. Andrea Hofmeister, Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wernfried Hofmeister, Dr. Ylva Schwinghammer und Mag. Jürgen Ehrenmüller bilden das Projektteam (v.l.)

Sparkling Science Projekt "Arbeitskoffer zu den Literaturpfaden des Mittelalters" startet durch

Steirische Literatur des Mittelalters, kurz, prägnant und für jede/jeden verständlich aufbereitet, ist das Erfolgskonzept der "Steirischen Literturpfade". Dass dieses Wissen nun auch in die heimischen Schulen getragen wird, ist neu. Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wernfried Hofmeister, Mediävist am Institut für Germanistik an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, startet in den nächsten zwei Jahren mit seinem Team durch. In diesem Zeitraum heißt es nämlich gemeinsam mit PartnerInnen aus dem Bildungsbereich die ältere deutsche Literatur in einen Koffer zusammen zu packen und in die Klassenzimmer zu tragen - dafür werden die Grazer Wissenschafter durch das Forschungsprogramm des Bundesministeriums für Wissenschaft und Forschung, "Sparkling Science", unterstützt.

 

Virtuelles Textportal

Hofmeister und sein Team haben Konzepte und Materialien zur Vermittlung älterer deutscher Literatur im Schul unterricht ausgearbeitet und versuchen dies im Projekt über ein virtuelles Textportal zu realisieren: auf dieser Plattform stehen die mittelalterlichen Texte - in Orginialsprache und Übersetzung -, Begleitende Lexika und Arbeitsmaterialen zur Verfügung. Inhaltlich spielt vor allem das "Mutterprojekt" Steirische Literaturpfade des Mittelalters eine zentrale Rolle. "Der Arbeitskoffer, mit dem wir in die Schulen gehen, ist eng verknüpft mit Inhalten dieser acht literarischen Schauplätze in der Steiermark", erklärt Hofmeister. "Denn im Grundgedanke der Literaturpfade steckt auch die nachhaltige Bewirtschaftung. Und das passiert hier durch die Einbindung der Thematik in den Schulunterricht", betont er. Am kommenden Samstag, den 20. Oktober 2012 wird der siebte Literatur-Wanderweg in Vorau und am Nationalfeiertag, 26. Oktober 2012, der achte in Wildon eröffnet. Nähere Infos unter http://literaturpfade.uni-graz.at.

 

Leben soll das Projekt, das geisteswissenschaftliche Forschung in die Klassenzimmer bringt und auch ein enormes Potenzial in der LehrerInnenbildung birgt, vor allem durch die enge Kooperation mit regionalen BildunspartnerInnen, wie zum Beispiel der KinderUni Graz und dem Landesschulrat für Steiermark. Begleitet wird das Projekt mit einer Studie zum Thema Textverstehensprozess im Umgang mit mittelalterlichen Texten.

Talent Talks bridge the gap in career guidance

The Styrian Chamber of Commerce (WKO Steiermark), the Styrian Chamber of Labour (AK Steiermark) and the AMS are joining forces when it comes to training young people and, through the “Talent Talks”, are creating a seamless pathway to career guidance. This takes preparation and follow-up support – just in time for the start of the term and the scheme’s tenth anniversary – to a whole new level. A new survey conducted by the Talent Centre among 2,687 former participants to mark the anniversary shows just how important this development is. Of the young people who received follow-up support from the Talent Report, 74.6 per cent stated that they had a good understanding of their own strengths and talents following the Talent Check. Without follow-up support, the figure was 66.5 per cent – a significant difference of 8.1 percentage points.

Austria’s emissions rose in 2025: University of Graz researchers analyse the causes

The Environment Agency Austria has today published the figures for the country’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2025. While emissions fell sharply year on year from 2022 to 2024, they rose again by just under 0.7 per cent in 2025. Researchers at the University of Graz have analysed how much of this increase was due to structural changes in the economy and how much was attributable to external factors over which there is little control. “In 2025, the colder winter compared with 2024 increased emissions by 0.81 per cent, while the weak economy reduced them by 0.38 per cent. If we factor out these influences, we find an underlying increase of 0.26 per cent compared with the previous year,” reports economist Karl Steininger. “This clearly means that Austria is not on track to meet its climate targets, which require a substantial reduction in emissions by 2030.”
