Two of the 16 approved applications in this year's "Calls for Transfer" funding program were for HfMT projects - out of a total of 119 submissions! The project "A Network Architecture for the Mindful Media Lab (MML)" submitted by KMM Director Prof. Barbara Hans and the project "HipHop Academy Certificate@HfMT" under the leadership of Benjamin Sprick, Research Associate Applied Aesthetics and Vice President Dr. Bilinç Ercan-Catanzaro were funded.

Prof. Dr. Barbara Hans:
"The Mindful Media Lab - Competence Center for Democratic Resilience - is building a network structure to strengthen journalism. The starting point is growing pressure and attacks on media professionals, which jeopardize press freedom and thus democratic resilience. In a network of practitioners, researchers, educators, associations and other experts, needs are identified, solutions are developed and translated into training and support services. In the future, the lab's work will be extended to cultural organizations. More information: resilientedemokratie.de."

Dr. Benjamin Sprick:
The HipHop Academy Zertifikat@HfMT brings together the Hamburg University of Music and Drama (HfMT) and the HipHop Academy Hamburg (HHA) in a sustainable and transfer-oriented cooperation. The focus is on a mutual transfer of knowledge that combines artistic practice, scientific findings and social perspectives in an innovative way. In joint workshop formats, a democracy-building process is initiated in which all participants and both institutions explore common and divergent educational requirements and cooperatively develop teaching and practice formats that deal with the largest youth culture in the world.
