The participative educational program to the exhibition FREDERICK KIESLER: Life Visions gives leeway to youthful perspectives. By engaging intensively with Frederick Kiesler’s visionary concept of space, Viennese schoolchildren created multi-faceted works to be shown in the exhibition.
 
Several months before the opening of the exhibition, the project had already started in collaboration with a class at a vocational school and two secondary school classes; it was supported by people working in the creative fields of design, the fine arts, architecture, and dance. This gave rise to strikingly diverse contributions, which give glimpses into the students’ life visions. *

* As a cooperation between the MAK and KulturKontakt Austria (KKA), the project was initiated with the 1e class at the vocational school for stylists and make-up artists [Berufsschule für Frisur, Maske und Perücke] in the framework of “Programm K3—Cultural Education with Apprentices.” The team toikoi_erzählende räume has taken on responsibility for the conception and implementation of the content. For their project, students in the 7a class at the Bundesgymnasium Wien 9 received KKA funding (through the “culture connected” initiative of the Federal Ministry of Education and Women’s Affairs), while for their project, students in the 6b class at the BORG for music and art were funded through the Ministry’s 2015/16 cultural budget for federally funded public schools.
