In Prof. Martins's new seminar "World Dance Calling", students first experience world dances and then learn to call dances themselves. They will now apply their Caller skills in several English/sports/music/ethics classrooms of Sebastianschule Neuthard, Albert-Schweitzer-Schule Muggensturm, Sophie-Scholl-Realschule and Gemeinschaftsschule Illingen. Two teachers already booked this as an ongoing project under the title "Akzeptanz" (AccepDance) and "Zusammenhalt" ("holding together") for their schools' "Peace & Democracy Education" schemes.
