Short Description:

The purpose of the Working Group on Ethnological Education, affiliated with the German Society for Ethnology (DGV, earlier German Anthropological Association (DGSKA)) is to teach ethnological knowledge to a broader public. Student members carry out educational activities in kindergartens, schools and adult education, and disseminate knowledge through the media, projects, publications and museums. Through this work, ethnology students build qualifications and networks, gain insight into applied anthropology and better access to internships, and part-time jobs. The Working Group, with 60 members, holds annual meetings to present research projects and results, to disseminate knowledge of career opportunities for ethnologists in the field of education, and to socialize and nurture the network.
