Media Teaching Prizewinner: Hut ab! [Hats off]
Network project
In Anwesenheit von Bildungsministerin Sonja Hammerschmid wurde das internationale Medienkompetenzfestival mla:connect am 19. Oktober eröffnet. Danach wurden in einem dreitägigem Fest im übervollen Wiener Theatersaal des MuseumsQuartiers – Mumok die Gewinner des media literacy awards 2016 gefeiert. 520 Schulen reichten ihre Projekte ein und wollten den Medien-Award gewinnen. Es wurde ein Fest für das burgenländische Netzwerkprojekt "Hut ab".
Schülerinnen und Schüler des Gymnasiums der Diözese präsentierten mit einer Multimediashow ihre schulbezogenen "Hut ab" - Projekte und erzählten über das umfangreiche Gesamtprojekt.
Jury statement:
This eLSA/KidZ/EPICT Online networking project from Burgenland in which 20 schools, 50 teachers and over 500 students took part is a wonderful example of how networking can function and what great results can be expected.
Starting out from the book Die Hüte der Frau Strubinski [Mrs Strubinski’s Hats] by Heinz Janisch and Helga Bansch the students got to grips with the subject of ‘Our Lives – between conformity and individuality: who am I? Or should one perhaps ask: who is this I?’ The results included a comprehensive website, jointly told stories, various hats, a great number of video clips and photos and the opinions of 650 students about the issue of headscarves were collected and evaluated. Alongside the development of social competencies and compatibility with teamwork, the students also developed their local and virtual communication skills and organisational talents. Living subjects, interschool project teaching and six months collaborative media work – that’s a remarkable result.

In life we all wear various ‘hats’, play various roles by which we fulfil different expectations. We are students/daughters, teachers/fathers, first in the class or class clown, boy or girl. Which hats must we wear and which can we take off? This is the subject that forms the starting point for this networking project in Burgenland in which 20 schools were involved. Beginning with the book Die Hüte der Frau Strubinski [Mrs Strubinski’s Hats] by Heinz Janisch and Helga Bansch, the schools worked together for six months. Apart from personal and social competencies the project necessitated local and virtual communications skills and organisational talent. These abilities link the subject – who am I? Which hat am I wearing in class, in the family, in society? – with a socially critical examination and exploration of human dignity and tolerance.
The biggest virtual team teaching project in Austria reached a climax and conclusion in a joint virtual teaching period on 18 March 2016 in which all the networked schools took part. From Seewinkel to Jennersdorf and even as far as Albania the students told the author about the highlights of their collaborative project via video conference. Outcomes include video clips, fashion shows, raps, artistically-made hat interpretations, interactive short stories, mathematical calculations and a survey with the title ‘Can hair be a sin?) in which 670 students allow insight into their opinion of the subject ‘headscarves and Islam’. The project group – girls of class 5AB in the Diocese of Eisenstadt Gymnasium also presented their results publicly with great impact. Their summary: We think that the older a person is, the more negative their image of those who wear headscarves. And the younger the person the less living together is problematic and conflictual.’
A tremendous example for successful cooperation. Chapeau!
