The project SpraKuS (Linguistic and Cultural Learning in the Salzburg Museum. Means of Participation) focuses on ways to use the museum as a learning venue for linguistic and cultural learning: on the one hand, in the form of a course offered over one semester at the Salzburg Museum to accompany the exhibition „ Salzburg einzigartig (Salzburg Unique)” (from Spring 2022); on the other hand, in the form of individual modules that can be offered by the Salzburg Museum to interested groups as needed (from11/2020), independent of thematic exhibitions.

The modules concentrate on three very well-known and historically relevant places (Fortress, Glockenspiel (Salzburg’s iconic bell tower), Panorama Museum) and can be used especially in existing learner groups for excursions, for example in language and integration courses, in voluntary language work, or as part of learning support for adolescent learners. They enable these diverse target groups to have learning experiences in environments where technical, linguistic and cultural learning are authentically linked. These learning experiences are mprimarily intended to raise awareness; help break down threshold fears and serve as “door openers” for active participation in cultural and social life in the city of Salzburg.

The language course, which is linked to the exhibition “Salzburg einzigartig (Salzburg unique)” [working title], enables particularly sustainable and comprehensive learning experiences by being offered over the course of a semester and being closely linked to historical and cultural topics. The ”Salzburg einzigartig (Salzburg unique)” exhibition deals with central themes of Salzburg’s history. At the centre of each exhibition room is a leading object and its location in time and space. Various narrative perspectives are thematized around this leading object. As in previous exhibitions, the roomtexts for this exhibition will alsobe available in easy-to-read language (at level A2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
