How Can Integration Succeed Through Education? What Role Does Language Play as a Key to Participation? How Can Digital Transformation Contribute to Greater Equality of Opportunity?
As part of Berlin Science Week 2025, Cornelsen and the ECDF invite teachers, education professionals and those interested in adult education to an inspiring afternoon on November 7, 2025. Together, we will discuss how education can succeed in a diverse society – with a special focus on the opportunities offered by language integration and the digital transformation of learning.
