Werte der Klassiker – Klassiker der Werte

In view of current debates about the values of our culture, the teaching of German faces claims higher than ever before: literary texts promote the development of cultural awareness and thus they are an elementary prerequisite for value formation processes and identity development. But in what way can the classics of German literature contribute to this? Considering the challenges of a change in the student body caused by migration and flight, didactic concepts are required that develop and help shape the new social responsibility of the teaching of German with reference to a succeeding integration. Therefore, the volume deals in particular with the question of which learning processes promote the awareness of values in order to allow for a successful coexistence within society.
