With the "Award for Innovation in Adult Education", the DIE supports the recognition of this achievement and makes visible where it is particularly impressive.

TOPIC OF THE INNOVATION AWARD 2023

Shaping socio-ecological transformation.

Background information

The DIE has been awarding the „Award for Innovation in Adult Education“ since 1997. The award publicises new and promising approaches in continuing education and presents them to a wider public for discussion. The key criteria for the award are that the projects must be innovative and tried and tested in practice and that they provide new impetus for adult education.

Since 2020, the Innovation Award has been supported by the „Dr Norbert F.B. Greger Foundation for Innovative and Sustainable Adult Education“, based in Mülheim an der Ruhr. The purpose of the foundation is to promote scientific or practical, innovative and promising adult education projects, which have been honoured every two years by the DIE Innovation Prize since 1997. The funding directly benefits the institutions of the award winners.
