What will learning look like in the future, and in some cases already in the present? An exhibition at the Wiener Planungswerkstatt attempts to provide answers. 

What do school and kindergarten buildings have to achieve in terms of pedagogy, architecture and urban development today and in the future? What does the daily routine at an educational campus look like and which professional groups work there?

An exhibition by Wiener Planungswerkstatt at Friedrich-Schmidt-Platz 9 (next to City Hall) aims to answer these questions. The show "How we build education" is open until November 15 on weekdays from 10 am to 6 pm and on Thursdays until 7.30 pm. There are free guided tours.

Exciting for parents with children who will be starting school in a few years' time. By 2034, the city plans to build another nine educational campuses, a central vocational school and an educational institution for elementary school teachers (kindergarten teachers). The program is called BIENE. Visitors will find important information about this in the exhibition.

With the BIENE program, we have succeeded in combining modern pedagogy with the needs of children and young people and well thought-out spatial concepts. We create innovative learning environments and at the same time free space for the development of all children and young people.

By the way: Deputy Mayor Christoph Wiederkehr (Neos), who opened the exhibition, is now the sponsor of a piece of plywood furniture. These birch wood building blocks are part of the program and represent educational topics based on the principle of sustainability. Further sponsorships will be awarded.
