School chaos in Nippes: Veronica Ferres and herbmakers provide laughs!

With the Cologne parents, it could soon be funny. On July 24th at 8:15 p.m., ZDF will show the new Impro comedy "other parents-the 1st grade", which will now run in the spectators' living rooms. This colorful story is all about the challenges of parents who found a primary school for their children in Cologne-Nippes. The unconventional headmistress Ms. Marx (crazy played by Veronica Ferres ) and the strict teacher Walter Kleefisch (convincingly represented by Henning Krautmacher ) on improvisation Dialogues leads. While Ms. Marx is enthusiastic about the support of her schoolchildren, Kleefisch sees her a threat to old traditions. So here two worlds clash who escalate in a chaotic teacher room.

The topics that go through the action are the lack of teachers, ailing school buildings and the behavior of "helicopter parents". Ferres is convinced that teachers should be valued more and better paid, while Krautmacher calls for an impetus to revise the school system in order to take into account the individual talents of the students. When preparing for the role, Ferres accompanied Headmaster in their everyday life, and Krautmacher had to get used to the improvised format. This not only creates entertaining scenes, but also a connection to the reality of Cologne school education.

A look at Nippes

nippes is not only the scene of the cinematic adventures, but also a district with its own, colorful social structure. Here is the Nippes Museum, which not only provides political education, but is also a contact point for many migrants. With a high proportion of foreign families, the museum offers a wide range of offers for integration and support. Intercultural projects and school aids are provided that contribute to the education and socio -political say. About two thirds of visitors are migrants, usually young women and girls - an impressive sign of the importance of education and integration in the region. The Nippes Museum works closely with over 60 Cologne schools and offers learning opportunities for all age and status groups.

Developments in the Cologne educational landscape also reflects the new series. The challenges that parents experience in Nippes are anything but new, and the problems are considered from different perspectives. The focus on intercultural educational approaches is clearly visible in the context of migration and diversity. This is where the theory of intercultural and diversity pedagogy comes into play. These concepts aim to promote the cultural uniqueness of migrants and to recognize the differences. Individual schools have already made progress through programs such as "Quality in Multicultural Schools" to implement diversity -promoting measures that are also included in the fabric of the series "Other parents - the 1st grade".
