25 Years of IT Summer Festival for Women: A Digital Exploration in Braunschweig

In early August 2026, a jubilee will be celebrated at the Volkshochschule Braunschweig, uniquely combining learning, exchange, and digital competence. The IT Summer Festival for Women brings together practical courses, open encounters, and a supportive learning atmosphere – covering topics from Artificial Intelligence to Social Media, job applications, design, and cybersecurity.

A Festival that Empowers Women Digitally

Since 1997, the Counseling and Coordination Center for Women and Work has supported women in professional matters, re-entering the workforce, and changes in their work lives. The anniversary festival showcases this experience in concentrated form: small learning groups, application-oriented content, and ample space for questions, experimenting, and networking shape the event experience.

Practical Courses Instead of Dry Theory

The program focuses on direct applicability in everyday life and work. Whether it’s AI tools, Canva, digital work, smartphone topics, or communication strategies – here, the emphasis is not on a big stage but on concrete experimentation. This is what makes the event so attractive for the target audience: Participants gain tangible knowledge, new impulses, and often more confidence in using digital tools.

Atmosphere with Encounters, Exchange, and Joy of Learning

The event planning is designed for a low-threshold, open format. The courses will be held at VHS Braunschweig at Heydenstraße 2, complemented by treats and beverages from the cafeteria team. This creates an environment where a public atmosphere and joy of learning come together – relaxed, focused, and personal.

What Visitors Can Expect for the Anniversary

For the 25th anniversary of the IT Summer Festival for Women, guests can expect a versatile educational festival featuring professional practice, digital topics, and personal development. Those who want to expand their digital skills, make new contacts, and learn about current IT trends in a protected environment should experience this jubilee live.
