The EEB Anhalt: Education as a bridge between generations and topics!

In the living world of adult education, the facilities are often in the competition for the heads and hearts of the participants. A good example of this is the Evangelical Adult Education Anhalt (EEB Anhalt) in Dessau-Roßlau. This institution, founded in 1991 and led by Michael Rohleder, focuses on the central mission of education and encounter, which is the meeting point for everyone who wants to deal with politics, culture, science and theology. My church newspaper reports that the EEB Anhalt places special emphasis on the spiritual aspect of the offers and in cooperation with the Evangelical Akademie Saxony-Anhalt.

The EEB Anhalt events, including the popular Dessau evenings and online issues, address a wide audience and cover topics such as the effects of artificial intelligence. It is particularly gratifying for those responsible that the relationship between the participants between women and men is balanced. In addition, a focus is on volunteering, which is reflected in offers for women and men's work as well as in the support of hospice work and telephone counseling.

lifelong learning and social mandate

The idea of ​​lifelong learning is not just a keyword, but a central concern in adult education. Evangelical family education offers support for educational issues and sporting activities, while in the church you can also use vocational training in the church area from the Evangelical Academy. Berlin Evangelisch emphasizes that commitment in the social field stimulates to refresh or learn skills.

Adult education also sees itself as a task for society as a whole that goes far beyond the purely professional training and further education. In the context of this education, topics such as sustainability, understanding of democracy and interreligious dialogue are becoming increasingly important. The roots of Protestant adult education lie in the communication of the gospel and the Reformation, which gives it a deeper dimension.

tradition meets innovation

With the new seat of the common Evangelical Education plant in the Wildbad Rothenburg, the trend becomes visible to reflect on and professional educational work methodically and scientifically. Bavaria Evangelisch documents that the Working Group for Evangelical Adult Education in Bavaria e.V. now consists of 81 members who are strong for the design of modern education.

An important aspect here has been digitization, which not only produces new offers, but also the way in which knowledge is conveyed. In the future, the challenge is to bring relevant content to people and to address the younger generation in particular. Educational rooms must be designed that integrate both digital formats and the valuable personal encounter.

With all of these approaches, the Protestant adult education shows that it not only sees itself as a provider of knowledge, but also as a key to the impulse for social developments and as a platform for the exchange between generations and specialists. If you are interested in the variety of topics and events, you will find enough opportunity to actively contribute and participate in the various facilities.
