interview with an intern
Christina Kunze MA
In September 2010, the project office proreg grown. For some dedicated work hours, Christina Kunze MA involved actively in the well-filled agenda of my office. They supported me especially in the technical research currently being conducted on interactive media for visitor centers. - The Band I would like to introduce to the readers of proregnews my current employee once ...
mh:
Christina, have you studied German Philology and Political Sciences in Regensburg. While studying you have a lot completed internships, especially in the editorial department and as a lecturer in politics and the press. Even as deputy director of the interest association of the professions and medium-sized companies have you been active, and eventually you have worked for many years in full-time as a dramatic and public relations officer at the Stuttgart Theatre of Old Town. - This professional career reads really impressive. Geo-tourism and hiking, landscape marketing or environmental education, to name a few areas of expertise of my project office, which has now but not too much to do. How did you get the idea at proreg to ask for a short-term placement? What do you particularly interested in my professional activities?
ck: Ever since my little daughter was born, we try to live confident, yes, you can almost speak of a change of heart. Suddenly you a lot of questions, questions himself. Above all, I took the parents time to get to focus on me and make something new, something which has always been there, I have not seen. Under the motto "you discover yourself" I came by coincidence the "Nature Education", for nature has always been an important part in my life I am also a committed member NABU and I think if one is enthusiastic about a thing, then you can pass on that too, even if I enter the "education" is new territory. Next I do a training for natural teacher and the subsequent certification to obtain a practical internship is provided - and this is the bow to you Michael, because I when I googled for an internship in the vicinity of Eberbach, I am on the Website of the National Park Centre Eberbach proreg encountered. I asked myself, Why, what's proreg , was kept informed on your website and finally a practical question daring.
"making the case for the region"
mh:
What interests you most of my professional activities?
ck:
Basically I'm fascinated by your work that you are a small part of you, indeed, somehow "immortalize" it was as the path of the river's history Eberbacher . I'm not talking like this to set a monument, but that you care about, the people behind the stove to lure-and in the landscape and its history, environmental education at its best. Above all, the courage to have become familiar in his region and of course the very fact that you people here show how beautiful their home is, you have to go through life with open eyes. Somehow I'm interested in everything that makes proreg , especially up Geotourism, environmental education, nature education. Well, proreg `s makes it possible to believe, given your range of topics, barely, that it is a" one-man company "...
" Is nature education sustainable? "
mh:
nature education has received in recent years a lot of momentum. Some talk somewhat critical of a "eventisation the landscape". What would your perspective - in 2010 and beyond - the main task of the nature of environmental education pedagogy, respectively?
ck:
Wow, what questions ... and the answer is an absolute greenhorn? To be honest, I have not done it no thought. "Events" but it sounds terrible, especially since it does not take much to experience nature and themselves to learn in nature ... The nature education, it is above all about the relationship between man and nature, and which concerns, in light global warming; of species extinction, etc. are more important? It is above all a matter of conscious life is to live sustainably, and the best all collected without your index finger. Pestalozzi speaks of an "ethical compass" which lies dormant in all of us are only just woken up - and that is the object of nature education, which may be personality-forming nature through experience.
mh:
Where do you see opportunities? Where do you see weaknesses and limitations of environmental education? Nature education is "sustainable"?
ck:
opportunities I see quite clearly in the nature of cooperation between teachers and schools, kindergartens, etc., than ever used to be the foundation for love and responsibility towards nature can be down, the better. We can improve the world, unfortunately not, that's a limit to the environmental education, but we can at least make a little bit better or at least try. Education is of course also part of nature education and environmental education, because only when you recognize the complexity of our ecosystem and understand that everything is a closed system and every activity has an impact on us all, we can create an awareness, an awareness of the whole! Nature education could be a step to be at peace with itself and at least in its environment to live in a sustainable - And this is probably more viable for the future!
"What do theater and
staging tourism
experiences in common?"
mh:
seven years you have worked in a theater. With tourism and theater landscape has not really done something, right? Clearly, public relations is needed in both areas, the regional marketing as well as in the theater marketing. But the activities and objectives are still completely different, or maybe not? What do you think has the production on the theater stage with a production of tourist experiences to do? If theater and tourism may not so far apart?
ck:
Interesting question, really. The whole world is a stage and everybody plays his role, a better, others worse. Some pieces are very well staged and want to leave some left over. - Theater and tourism, have at least the "Initial D" together, but I remember even more, because both carry their audience into another world, and both can only succeed if something comes back, that is, the dialogue between actors and audience exists and Although during the show and then ... But it is true, when I think about it right there are really many parallels. Both can be held indoors and outdoors and is both (sometimes unfortunately) more and more of the "event character" in the foreground, experience as much as possible and as quickly as possible. It is much nicer to pause, especially in light of the hectic, short-lived time to decelerate. For example, it is wonderful to visit the forest's favorite place to sit down and listen. Just sit, do nothing and especially not even reach!
mh:
Christina, what you want from the short internship at proreg for your future career like to take? Crucial question: What are your plans for the future?
ck:
It may sound a bit cheeky, but honestly, I would on a regular cooperation with proreg , after the internship, very convenient ...
mh:
Thank you for your time and - to working with you!
