The importance of education for society has increased significantly in this age of globalisation. As a result, the lives of children, teenagers and adults has substantially changed. People are demanding versatile education initiatives that provide not only a sound understanding of fundamental areas of knowledge, but also competence in a range of methods and basic skills. Routine communication skills, a team-oriented attitude and a distinct personal approach are being called for. In short, education is the foundation of our society.

didacta 2007 — The Trade Fair for Education and Training — in Cologne will bring together the leading decision-makers from all areas of education:

• Kindergarten
• School/University
• Training/Qualification
• Further Training/Consulting

The event will present all of the key tools for promoting education and cultivating minds in the various areas of application.

didacta has already been held successfully in Cologne in 2000, 2002 and 2004. At the last event, 641 companies exhibited their products and services to more than 94,000 trade visitors, clearly demonstrating that education traditionally has a high status in Cologne.
