How can education contribute to making cities and neighborhoods vibrant, livable spaces? And what forms of education do we need to strengthen people for the future so that they can take responsibility, help shape society and initiate change?

Discover projects and initiatives that are rethinking education. Meet people who have a vision for the education of the future - whether from schools, universities, associations, cities or businesses. Because education is diverse, lively and everywhere where people learn and create together.

With the StadtWandel Dresden event series, we invite you to visit exciting places and inspiring educational projects in Dresden. Every month, we visit a new location - with space for exchange, questions, discussions and networking.

Come along, be inspired and become part of the change.

The series is cooperatively organized by the Green Office of TU Dresden, HTW Dresden, Volkshochschule Dresden and Verbraucherzentrale Sachsen.
