Didays Nextgen: Vienna's big educational offensive for digital talents!

The city of Vienna is full of ideas for the future of education. From June 13th to 26th, 2025, the Didays Nextgen will take place - an innovative educational format that includes over 400 students from Vienna in the focus of digital education and current technologies. The offer is aimed at children and adolescents of all ages and offers you the opportunity to actively deal with topics such as digitization, artificial intelligence and MINT professions. Vienna Holding reports that the goal of this initiative is not only the awareness of digital issues, but also the promotion of equal opportunities and diversity, especially for girls.

As part of the Didays Nextgen, there will be a diverse program that provides workshops, hackathons and dialogue with industry experts. Through these events, the young generation is to be actively involved in the digital transformation. A special highlight is the three -day focus of girls "Nextgen Girls", which gives girls between the ages of 12 and 14 the opportunity to take part in the digital girls hackathon. Here you program applications for sustainability issues, which is of great interest and makes a valuable contribution to education in technology.

Diverse program for all age groups

The program of the Didays Nextgen is hard to overlook. On June 13, a workshop day for elementary schools will be held at the FH Technikum, which is devoted to the safe handling of the Internet. An exchange between pupils from 16 years and AI experts also takes place on this day in the “The Forum”. This opens up an exciting dialogue about artificial intelligence and digital administration in education.

From June 16 to June 18, the Digital Girls Hackathon will take place in the A1 headquarters. Here 60 girls have the opportunity to test their skills in programming and to develop solutions to sustainability challenges. On June 18, there will be a workshop day especially for the "Nextgen Girls" to reduce fear of contact in technology and digital spaces and learn practical skills.

Vienna as a pioneer for digital education

The goal of the Didays Nextgen is also to position Vienna as an innovation and business location. The initiative also represents a model project for future education initiatives, as Digital City Vienna . In addition to the many workshops, the “Space in the City” space festival also takes place in the last week of June, at which there are interactive events for students from 10 years, as well as a conference on the Wiener Charter on digital rights for children and adolescents.

The interest in artificial intelligence in education increases, with A study by the Deutsche Telekom Stiftung shows that many schools are still using this technology correctly. Potentials such as personalized learning paths and the support of teachers by AI should also be more integrated in Vienna in order to optimally prepare students for the challenges of the digital world.

The Didays Nextgen stand for an exciting and future -oriented development in the educational landscape of Vienna and offer a variety of opportunities to already set the course for a digital future.
