Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung

The German Federal Agency for Civic Education saw the future of network-building is digital

Challenge

Due to COVID-19, the German Federal Agency for Civic Education (Bundeszentrale für Politische Bildung, or bpb) needed to rethink how to run the Networking European Citizenship Education (NECE) conference and offer new possibilities to engage people and organizations online.

Solution

In collaboration with the NECE team, the bpb built a digital campus environment via Howspace with over 30 smaller events leading up to the three-day conference.

Results

Co-created documentation: Many individuals and NGOs were involved in the process of preparing a new declaration for the importance of civic education during the pandemic.
Opening up participation to a global audience: By using Howspace, NECE was able to engage people in between events and easily open participation up beyond a solely European audience to a global one.
New mindset and working methods: Howspace helped NECE deploy new working methods focused on co-creation. Using Howspace changed both the mindset and working methods for NECE for years to come.
