Live Art Danmark: Klassebytningen

Det er spørgsmålene bag Klassebytningen – et kunst- og medborgerskabsprojekt, hvor to 5. klasser fra Hasle Skole og Ellevangskolen har byttet liv og virkelighed for en dag. Eleverne har besøgt hinandens skoler, kvarterer og fritidsliv, fulgt hinandens rejseguider og oplevet, hvad der er særligt ved den andens hverdag.

Nu mødes de for første gang ansigt til ansigt!

Vi inviterer jer til en festlig offentlig visning på DOKK1, hvor eleverne fortæller om deres oplevelser, viser film og deler de indsigter, overraskelser og spørgsmål, som klassebytningen har givet anledning til. Mødet mellem de to klasser bliver iscenesat som et underholdende realityshow, som er fuldt af nysgerrighed, humor og eftertanke.

Klassebytningen handler ikke blot om børn. Den handler også om Aarhus og om at forstå hinanden på tværs af bydele, sociale skel og forskellige livsvilkår. 

Vi glæder os til at se alle jer, der interesserer sig for børns liv, fællesskaber og Aarhus’ fremtid på DOKK1! Der er gratis adgang.

Venlig hilsen fra Live Art Danmark, 5.C. fra Hasle skole og 5.Z fra Ellevangskolen.

Live Art Danmark er grundlagt i 2004 af Henrik Vestergaard og Ellen Friis med det formål at præsentere, udvikle og dokumentere nyskabende live oplevelser, der inddrager et publikum i alle aldre og undersøger vores fælles samfund og virkelighed.

What is everyday life like for children who live just a few kilometres apart, but grow up in different parts of the same city? What do you discover when you step into someone else's life for a day?

These are the questions behind The Class Exchange - an art and civic engagement project in which two Year 5 classes from Hasle School and Ellevang School have swapped lives and everyday realities for a day. The pupils visited each other's schools, neighbourhoods, and leisure activities, followed one another's guides to the city, and experienced what makes the other class's daily life unique.

Now they are meeting face to face for the very first time.

Join us at DOKK1 for a celebratory public presentation, where the pupils will share their experiences, screen short films, and talk about the insights, surprises, and questions that emerged from the exchange. Their first meeting is staged as an entertaining reality show filled with curiosity, humour, and reflection.

The Class Exchange is not only about children. It is also about Aarhus - about understanding one another across neighbourhoods, social divides, and different life experiences.

We look forward to welcoming everyone who is interested in children's lives, communities, and the future of Aarhus. Admission is free, but advance booking is recommended via info@liveart.dk.

Best wishes from 

Live Art Denmark, Class 5.C from Hasle School, and Class 5.Z from Ellevang School
