Vorschulerziehung im Ausland
Year: 1974
Country: West Germany
Section: documentary

Description: The media project 'Preschool Education Abroad' originated from an initiative by Hans-Jürgen Weineck, a film and television journalist from Heidelberg, and the Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs of Baden-Württemberg, and was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Science and the state ministries of education and cultural affairs. The starting point for the development of the media network was the fact that the new initiatives in the field of preschool education developed in the Federal Republic of Germany in recent years were, to a significant extent, influenced by corresponding developments in other countries. Concepts and experiences existed there that provided an opportunity to reexamine conventional ideas in the field of preschool education, which could offer inspiration for a structural and content-related reorientation. It therefore seemed sensible to present the models and activities for preschool education developed in various countries and make them accessible to all educational professionals who work with children. The episode 'Socialzation' begins by showing Israeli children in a kibbutz kindergarten. Here, the children experience separation from their biological caregivers at an early age and come to see the teacher as a surrogate mother. The parents work nearby, so the separation is only experienced in the immediate moment. Socialization under limited living conditions is illustrated with examples from a Bedouin camp, slum children in a redevelopment area, and a satellite town of Amsterdam. The film then explores socialization in kindergartens, focusing on the child's interactions with peers. The footage shows children from various kindergartens across Europe. Finally, the film highlights the important relationship between the teacher, the parents, and the child.

Description: The expedition report documents the first south-to-north crossing of Brazilian Guiana. Between 1935 and 1937, the German geologist and zoologist Otto Schulz-Kampfhenkel (who also authored a book of the same name) explored a previously completely unexplored jungle region by first navigating the Amazon and then its tributary, the Rio Jary, all the way up to Guayana. Among other things, the film depicts the jungle life of the Oayana and Oayapi. These two Indian tribes, whose culture had remained at the Neolithic stage, were believed to be extinct until that time.
