The Future of Learning in our Cities

Join us to explore Brave New Learning

In February 2019 the Amsterdam Public Library (OBA) will celebrate its 100th anniversary. With over 3,6 million visitors per year, OBA is the biggest cultural organization of Amsterdam and one of the important centers for life-long learning for Amsterdammers of all ages.

OBA and ELIG.org have teamed up to create an event for all: for citizens - young and old - and for learning professionals alike. We invite you to experience and discuss the future of learning in our cities at Brave New Learning. Bringing together those who create and design new learning experiences:  from pioneers to some of the world’s leading practitioners.

Make letters with artbots, race against self driving cars, make electronic textile, build Amsterdam of 2128 with OBA’s makerspaces, de Waag and Pakhuis de Zwijger. The weekend will offer many possibilities to learn, design and experiment.
