The Leibniz-Institute for Educational Media (GEI) became a hub of inspiration and innovation on November 6-7 as educators and digital humanities experts convened for the first study visit of the groundbreaking Homo Digitalis project. This two-day event marked a transformative leap toward modernizing education in the West Balkans, blending the rich traditions of the humanities with cutting-edge digital tools.

 

Participants delved into dynamic sessions exploring how digital libraries, multimedia resources, and participatory design can revolutionize teaching and research. From hands-on workshops creating user-centered educational tools to practical demonstrations of multimedia in humanities education, the event showcased the boundless potential of digital integration.

 

“The energy and enthusiasm in the room were palpable,” said one participant. “We’re walking away not just with tools but with a vision for the future of education.”

 

Day one focused on transforming teaching with digital tools, offering educators actionable strategies to make humanities education more engaging. Day two emphasized usability and participatory design, equipping attendees to create intuitive, impactful platforms tailored to educators’ and students’ needs.

 

As the Homo Digitalis project lays the foundation for a tech-enhanced future, this visit highlighted the power of collaboration and innovation. Participants are now empowered to drive real change, creating classrooms that are as interactive and dynamic as the digital age demands.

 

The future of education is here – and it starts with Homo Digitalis.
