LOVE-Storm

Logo LOVE-Storm"The LOVE-Storm project helps to combat hate speech and cyberbullying with a coherent online training concept," said jury members Prof. Katharina Scheiter and Stephan Rinke in their laudation. In the free training courses, strategies against hate comments and (cyber)bullying are trained and knowledge of how to act is built up. LOVE-Storm supports courageous advocacy for respect for human dignity, promotes respectful treatment of different positions, and encourages the development of a fair communication culture online. Teachers in adult and continuing education learn counter-speech strategies in an online workshop for multipliers, which they pass on to their target groups.

EBmooc plus

Logo EBmooc plusThe open online course EBmooc plus provides adult educators in teaching, training and education management with the most important information on digital working in practice. For staff in continuing education, the learning offer from CONEDU | Association for Educational Research and Media came at just the right time. During the Corona pandemic, it was and is an important building block for transferring face-to-face seminars into online formats. Because "Going online instead of canceling" was not only the title of a spontaneous additional offer, but also a credo in EBmooc plus that everyone took to heart," notes laudator Dr. Marie Batzel. The self-study course consists of eight modules covering topics such as open educational resources and media competence, as well as an additional final module. It is free of charge, can be completed at any time and is certified.

Coaches for online learning

Logo VHS Coaches für Online-LernenWith the training course "Coaches for online learning", the VHS Leipzig, in cooperation with the Saxon Adult Education Association, promotes the skills of teachers to design online-supported environments conducive to learning and thus to accompany participants' self-directed educational processes pedagogically. The goal of the training is to enable teachers to independently design, implement, and didactically shape online-supported teaching-learning scenarios and to rehearse collegial exchange. During the training, the course instructors develop concept ideas that they can then implement themselves. The laudators, Dr. Jochen Robes and Prof. Olaf Zawacki-Richter, emphasized the special transfer potential of the project, which succeeded in setting up an innovative and effective blended learning program with relatively few resources.

History

Since 1997, the DIE has been awarding the "Innovation Prize for Continuing Education". The award publicizes new and promising approaches in continuing education and presents them for discussion to a broader public. One of the central criteria for the award is that the projects must be innovative and field-tested, and that they must give new impetus to adult education.

From the very beginning, the Innovation Prize has been supported by the DIE's long-standing publishing partner, wbv Media in Bielefeld.

As of this year, the "Innovation Prize for Continuing Education" of the German Institute for Adult Education (DIE) is also supported by the "Dr. Norbert F.B. Greger Foundation for Innovative and Sustainable Adult Education" based in Mülheim an der Ruhr.

The funding directly benefits the institutions of the award winners.
