According to the City of Vienna, the Directorate of Education for Vienna is the hub of educational innovation beyond the borders of Vienna, beyond the borders of Austria with international influence. The Education Directorate is turning 100 and, in its anniversary year, wants to draw attention to the changing needs of pedagogy in society, to meet every child and every person interested in education where he or she stands.
All-day school, multilingualism, parental work, sustainability, co-design, inclusion, financial education and digitalization are "topics that pose different challenges for Vienna in urban areas as well as in rural regions and enable new opportunities."
The topic of migration is particularly important, which is why the Education Directorate also works with various embassies. This is also the case with the Turkish Embassy in Vienna.
Während des Besuches wurden in verschiedenen Aspekten die Bildung der Türken in Österreich und gemeinsame Projekte und Zusammenarbeit in diesem Bereich besprochen.
