 *WHY?*
Social development also requires an adjustment of teaching. Particularly
development of multimedia technologies and modified ways of perception (in
particular of younger people) have to be considered when talking about
transferring knowledge, fostering skills and cultivating abilities at all
levels of a lifelong learning process. Teachers and instructors have to
attune to a contemporary learning culture and need refined conceptual and
methodical competences.
The ‘Volkshochschule Kreis Kronach’, as the regional centre for lifelong
learning, responds to these challenges and has established a regional
network with various schools and educational and vocational training
institutions. It would like to share these experiences and explore
approaches.

 *WHAT?*
Participants will learn about:
•methodologies and didactics of new teaching media (e.g. interactive
whiteboards, Skype, etc.);
•how to enrich teaching and training with different multimedia tools;
•how to increase interest and motivation of students through virtualisation
of teaching;
•imminent pedagogical and methodological difficulties in using new
technologies.

 *HOW?*
Participants will:
•visit different schools and institutes (further education, vocational and
secondary schools);
•observe teachers' work in the classroom;
•discuss advantages and obstacles of different approaches;
•meet specialists and practitioners of new teaching media.

 *WHOM?*
• Company training managers,
• directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or
providers,
• educational and vocational training inspectors,
• head teachers, teacher trainers,
• pedagogical or guidance advisers,
• representatives of chambers of commerce/ industry/crafts,
• representatives of education and training networks and associations,
• representatives of employers’ organisations,
• representatives of local, regional and national authorities.

*     *Short description in the host country's language: *
Die Entwicklung der Gesellschaft verlangt auch eine Weiterentwicklung und
Anpassung unterrichtlicher Aktivitäten. Besonders die multimedialen
Technologien und die damit einhergehende geänderte Art der Wahrnehmung
bedürfen der Berücksichtigung bei der Vermittlung von Wissen, Fertigkeiten
und Fähigkeiten in allen Phasen des Lebenslangen Lernens.
Lehrkräfte und Ausbilder müssen sich auf eine zeitgemäße Lernkultur
einstellen und benötigen dazu weiter entwickelte methodische und inhaltliche
Kompetenzen.
