history
The Evangelical Adult Education Saxony has its roots in the “group-oriented community work in the Ev.-Luth. Regional Church of Saxony ”(GOG). As a pilot project in the late 1960s / early 1970s, the GOG established itself as adult education and access to learning for members of the parishes, voluntary leaders of parish groups, pastors, critical and committed parishioners and church leaders. Under the direction of Regine Thiebach and Wolfgang Bartel, she not only offered a long-term course for adult education since 1971, but also developed material for the communities, such as a collection of methods and a "manual for group-oriented community work".
The new social and political conditions after 1990 made a directional decision necessary for group-oriented community work. In 1992 it was founded as "Evangelical Adult Education Saxony". With this, the Evangelical Adult Education Saxony stepped out of the narrow context of the parishes and onto the education market. Linked to this was the networking and cooperation with other - regional - educational institutions such as adult education centers and trade unions. This close network still exists today in the "State Working Group on Adult Education".
Another directional decision was that the Evangelical Adult Education Saxony should be recognized as an independent provider of adult education in the Free State of Saxony . This made it possible for the Saxon State Ministry for Culture to promote their educational offers. However, the public sponsorship of their own event was not the only reason. By participating in the public adult education system, Evangelical Adult Education Saxony underscored its claim and goal to leave its niche and make its work known outside the church.
Building on the long-term courses “Adult Congregation” and “Learning with Adults” in the 1980s, Evangelical Adult Education Saxony established the “Distance Learning Adult Education”. This certified multi-year further education is part of the offer of the Evangelical Adult Education Saxony and is also used by people who do not belong to the Evangelical Church .
With the growing number of cooperations and networking partners in the field of general further education in Saxony and in Germany, the self-image and the tasks of Evangelical Adult Education Saxony expanded: an educational institution with a Protestant profile on the one hand and a platform for exchanging experiences as well as representing the interests of the regional church and government agencies on the other. It is not only a provider of specific further training, but also successful in acquiring third-party funds, carrying out pilot projects and producing work material.
