In the BMBF meta-project of the funding guideline "Cultural Education in Rural Areas", it has already become clear: associations fill gaps in education systems that used to be the responsibility of states and governments (cf. Kolleck and Fischer 2023, forthcoming). Thus, they and other NGOs have become significant actors in the education sector, alongside state institutions, international organisations and companies. However, due to their transnational cooperation with other NGOs, their role and influence differ from that of traditional actors, explains Professor Nina Kolleck of the MetaKLuB meta-project.
This transnational influence of NGOs on education systems, which has not yet been examined, is to be explored with the help of funding from the Starting Grant of the European Research Council. Read more here.
Nina Kolleck has been head of the BMBF meta-project in the funding guideline "Cultural Arts Education in Rural Areas" at the University of Leipzig since 2019. Previous professorships took her to RWTH Aachen and FU Berlin. She has also been a visiting professor at the University of California Berkeley, the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv University.
