The first part of this paper asks how European art education traditionally positions itself despite an ever-changing world, mainly in respect to the question how to teach cultural heritage. Focussing the history of art we can see that teaching the canon connected with development narratives is still dominant. But some trends can be observed that open the chance to further develop those traditions, e.g. focussing intercultural entanglements, transcultural understandings of ‘objects’ and including the issue of power. These trends try to provide answers to today's challenges. The inquiry finally leads to an analytical grid as a model to understand contemporary complexities in a better way. In the middle section, this is discussed in more detail using a concrete example, the political demands for the return of cultural heritage, the Benin bronzes that were stolen by British colonialists in Nigeria in the 19th century and are now mainly in European museums. It gets clear that the application of the model – developed in the first part – to this example reveals its limits, as unsolvable problems occur. The case study of the Benin bronzes triggers a set of new questions that are becoming increasingly important for art education – at least in Germany – but which have hardly been asked so far. Examples are: Who speaks? In which language? With whom? Who owns? Is negation a model for intercultural dialogue? Etcetera. In the last part, this set of questions is posed to a concrete international project with partners in Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa that the author is co-ordinating at the Art of Fine Academy in Munich. The set of questions is used to critically explore this project in a way that could also be transferred to any other project in the field of art and cultural education in formal and non-formal settings.

Folk art is part of ethnic culture consisting of cultural heritage and living traditions and reflects the experience which has been accumulated by most people of the nation since the ancient times. The present-day transfer of values of traditional ethnos from generation to generation depends on the succession of education, customs and traditions, hence, the significance of ethno-cultural education for the preservation of national identity is emphasized in the General Programmes for Secondary Education. The youth’s negative attitude to upholding ethno-culture, their treatment of folk art as a “relic” determined the goal the research – to review the 11th–12th formers’ cognition of folk art as the precondition for the development of ethnic culture. The paper presents the data of the survey which included the 11th and 12th formers (N = 534) of fourteen general education schools in Lithuania and reveals the learners’ attitude to folk art. The interview with teachers of art (N = 25) demonstrated that they identify the cognition of folk art with ethnic art, and notice a lack of attention for this topic in the programmes of art education.
