Bildungshäuser of the future

Needs-orientated learning space concepts in adult education

Project duration: November 2021 - November 2022

New learning spaces such as ‘third places’, co-working, makerspaces, fab labs or repair cafés are an expression of contemporary ‘educational freedom’.

The main objective of this project is therefore to analyse these modern learning space concepts in order to derive possible development potential for adult education - especially for educational institutions in German-speaking countries. The results of the project will be published in a perspective brochure and should provide an impulse for the sustainable further development of educational centres.

Info

Why?

Educational centres are faced with the challenge of reflecting on their identity and raison d'être as educational centres. They describe themselves as places of encounter and exchange and are challenged to modernise their structures and concepts so that they remain so in the future. The development of needs-orientated learning space concepts points the way forward.

Publications

How do educational centres need to change in order to remain fit for the future - in terms of content and economics? This question was at the centre of a barcamp held as part of an online networking meeting of educational institutions in German-speaking countries in January 2021. And it stuck with us!
