From Tool to Thinking: Digital Competences in Adult Education

A BarCamp event will be held in Hannover, Germany, on 24 June 2026, to open the floor for in-depth discussions of adult education experts and practitioners about the implications of digitalisation for society in general and for educational institutions in particular. The event is organised by VHS Hannover, and it is titled "From Tool to Thinking: Digital competences in adult education thought through critically" *. We expect to have about 100 participants from all over Germany.

The event is organised in the form of a BarCamp - a conference self-organized by participants who bring their own topics, questions and contributions, and under the lead of an experienced moderator, work on them in sessions and workshops set up on the fly in the venue itself.
