NEW LEARNING WORLDS
Learning Neumünster (Schleswig-Holstein)
Learning Information Centre
I. Problem
Citizens, institutions and companies in Neumünster seeking
specific information on the subject of studying and education
are frequently faced with the time-consuming and not
always successful task of searching in the labyrinth of
regional institutions.
II. Solution approach
Since April 2004, information and advice can be obtained at
the “Learning-Information Centre” on all subjects and questions
relating to education and further study. The organisation
Lernladen Neumünster e.V. set up this "centre" in the
customer centre of a major regional daily newspaper in the
heart of Neumünster.
This cooperation guarantees low-threshold access to learning
and further study. Even groups of persons who have
been previously remote from education can be reached
more easily.
An information service offered in the mornings on a
one-to-one basis is supplemented by display systems where
educational institutions in Neumünster can introduce and
publicise their programmes. At a computerised workstation,
visitors can also help themselves, e.g. by carrying out
Internet research in course data bases, trying out learning
software, etc.
These services are supplemented by regional players
who offer free information and advice on specific themes at
the Learning Information Centre. These institutions offer
information and advice on subjects from their respective
fields of work. All participating regional players exchange
information about their respective counselling services at
regular meetings, making it possible to refer customers and
offer each other support.
In August 2004, the Learning Information Centre was
able to present to the general public a six-month programme
with a total of 50 counselling dates by 15 different
regional experts.
III. Outlook
The “Learning Information Centre” has the potential to
make a significant contribution towards the quantitative
and qualitative optimisation of information and counselling
services in the fields of learning, education and further education
in the region of Neumünster.
In the medium to long-term, the centre will acquire and
offer other services in the field of “learning” for and by institutions,
organisations, companies, governmental authorities
and citizens.
