Message issue 1/2014 - Messe Stuttgart

In the exhibition area “New Technologies”, educators can find out more about the
latest developments in multimedia, IT and eLearning.
“Early learning” continues to play an
important role at didacta.
Just how this aim of an inclusive education
can be achieved will be one
of the issues addressed by academic
and practical experts during the
forums and seminars taking place at
didacta from 25 to 29 March 2014
at Messe Stuttgart. Because, in addition
to school furnishings or the
demand for teaching staff, the practical
implementation of inclusion also affects,
for example, teaching materials.
These must also meet the changed
requirements. At didacta, school book
publishers will be presenting the latest
textbooks specifically developed
for this concept.
The currently hot topic of inclusion
is just one of many issues addressed
at Europe’s largest educational trade
fair. “Based on the latest developments
in the education sector, it was our
aim to tailor the didacta trade fair
programme to the change in visitor
demands,” explains Joachim Sauter,
Team Leader at Messe Stuttgart. “Together
with the trade fair’s conceptual
supporters, the Didacta Association
of the Education Industry and the
German Association of Educational
Media, we have thus further developed
its successful concept. didacta 2014
will welcome visitors to six trade fair
“We must have the courage, not to
cure the symptoms, but to get to the
root of the problem. This needs to
be the maxim of education policies
drafted to tackle the issue.”
Prof. Wassilios E. Fthenakis,
President of the Didacta Association
halls, as well as the ICS International
Congress Centre Stuttgart.”
For example, “New Technologies” and
“Ministries/Institutions/Organisations”
are new additions to the Stuttgart
event“. The exhibition area “New
Technologies” will showcase solutions
for a modern classroom, presented
by suppliers of teaching and learning
software, multimedia board systems,
IT furniture, presentation technology
and eLearning platforms. didacta provides
teachers, educators, instructors,
pedagogues and personnel managers
with a comprehensive introduction to
the latest technologies, demonstrating
their skilful and didactic use in the
classroom.
In the area “Ministries/Institutions/
Organisations”, didacta visitors can
gather important and up-to-date information
from the stands of the
Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Cultural
Affairs and the Federal Ministry
for Education and Research, from
teaching and parent associations, as
well as education unions.
