DLC Development Hub

AILiSH stands for ‘Artificial Intelligence Literacy and Computational Thinking in Schleswig-Holstein’. At the DLC, we translate this as ‘Skills acquisition in the field of artificial intelligence and computational thinking’. But what do we mean by ‘artificial intelligence’? And what does ‘computational thinking’ mean?

The Europa Universität Flensburg (EUF), Hochschule Flensburg (HSFL) and NORDAKADEMIE in Elmshorn (NAK) are working together in AILiSH. We want to familiarise many people with the topics of AI, computational thinking and digital skills. To this end, we offer joint learning programmes for: - Teachers and school classes. - Employees in companies and administrations. - People from culture and business. - Interested members of the public.

Together, we design various AILiSH learning locations in Schleswig-Holstein, where (prospective) teachers or classes from general and vocational schools, employees in companies and organisations in education, business, administration and culture as well as interested citizens can acquire skills for the digital world and the responsible use of new technologies.

As a university network, we are united by the desire to make AI and computational thinking accessible to everyone. Together, we organise various AILiSH learning centres in Schleswig-Holstein. Here you can try out things and technologies in a playful way - regardless of your previous knowledge. The EUF and HSFL are developing these learning spaces on the joint campus at the DLC learning centre in Flensburg: the CreAItive Lounge, the FabLab IDEENREICH and the CreAItive Space. Here you can get to know the diversity of AI and computational thinking in a creative and practical way. This includes AI techniques such as machine learning, algorithms and big data. Our aim is for people to understand how AI works and how they can use it responsibly - at work, in everyday life and in society.

The west coast is changing: an economically weak region is becoming an important area of industrial growth. The Fachhochschule Westküste (FHW) wants to help shape this change. Together with the Volkshochschule Heide and opencampus.sh in Kiel, we have formed a strong alliance. In this way, we connect the east and west coasts and offer education on sustainable topics throughout Schleswig-Holstein.

Lifelong learning for all - trying out new technologies

CampusNET is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations' Agenda 2030. We want to make a sustainable contribution to the development of the region. The focus is on sustainability, digitalisation, the energy transition and new forms of work. CampusNET brings people from science and business together. We promote the development of talent through new learning formats and focus on the needs of tomorrow's working world.

Connecting the North Sea coast and the Baltic coast

·       Modern learning centres, makerspaces and digital learning environments with barrier-free access for exploring and trying out things
·       Innovation Labs: work together with experts on projects on current business issues
·       Future Skills Programmes: teach you a wide range of skills - from digital and technological to transformative skills. Transformative skills are skills that are necessary to solve major social problems - for example in the areas of social affairs, the environment or democracy. They help people to recognise these problems, develop new, future-oriented solutions and have the courage to convince others of these ideas.
·       Innovative, inter- and transdisciplinary programmes: Certificate courses, micro-degrees, think tanks and challenges in which you work together with founders and entrepreneurs

·       Themed events, e.g.
·       AI/AI Builders Arena
·       Citizen science apps
·       Teaching of programming languages

The Digital Learning Culture Art Lab (DLC Art Lab) combines digital learning with culture and design. The aim is to give more people access to new technologies and enable them to participate in digital development. The Muthesius Kunsthochschule, the Stiftung Schleswig-Holsteinische Landesmuseen (Schleswig-Holstein State Museums Foundation) and the Anscharcampus in Kiel are working together to create an inspiring learning environment.

The DLC Art Lab offers 3 learning programmes at different locations

1.      Tiny Design School: A mobile design school that offers practical learning programmes on design and digital design at changing locations.
2.      Muthesius Media Lab: A place for researching and applying modern digital technologies. New approaches in design research are developed here and put into practice in creative projects.
3.      Digital Citizens Space: An exhibition space that is accessible in the museum and online. Digital and hybrid exhibitions take place here.

The DLC Art Lab offers a wide range of learning opportunities: Workshops and seminars on design research, but online courses are also included. There is also the ‘AI Salon’, a regular dialogue on artificial intelligence. In the DLC Art Lab, participants learn creative and technical skills in interactive formats. It incorporates social and ecological topics. In this way, the DLC Art Lab promotes sustainable design and makes education accessible to all.

EDIT - Spaces of Experience: Digital.Inclusive.Transformative. EDIT is a diverse DLC learning centre network led by Kiel University (CAU). These partners work together in EDIT:

• Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (CAU) with the institutions: Strategy, Research and Transfer, University Library (UB), Institute for Inclusive Education (IIB) and the Teaching Service Centre of the Faculty of Engineering
• Technische Akademie Nord (TAN)
• BUND Landesverband Schleswig-Holstein e.V.
• Förde-vhs
• Duale Hochschule Schleswig-Holstein (DHSH)

EDIT wants to teach digital skills to everyone in Schleswig-Holstein. This is the only way that everyone can help shape digital development. This is why EDIT offers barrier-free learning programmes and also uses technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).

The most important tasks of EDIT are:

• The promotion of digital and ethical competences: Courses teach basic knowledge of digital technology and an awareness of digital ethics.
• Inclusive education for all: EDIT focuses on barrier-free learning venues and methods that reach all people - regardless of their social and cultural background.
• Practical career orientation: The bridge between school and work is built at various learning centres in cooperation with companies.
• EDIT promotes lifelong learning and takes into account the different prior knowledge and interests of the participants.
• EDIT offers on-site learning programmes: In libraries, adult education centres and universities. This makes digital education accessible to everyone. EDIT uses new digital teaching methods to strengthen cooperation between schools, universities, companies and society.

EDIT is coordinated by the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel. The contact person is Nina Schnoor, who can be reached at nschnoor@uv.uni-kiel.de or by telephone on 0431/880-5958.

‘Lübeck learns the future’ is the learning centre network around Lübeck's universities. Together, we are developing a wide range of learning programmes to improve digital skills. From acquiring, deepening and applying future skills, we make people fit for the future.

The Lübeck learning centre is where the population is: the courses are offered at many locations in the Hanseatic city. For example, in the ‘Übergangshaus’ (old Karstadt building) or on the campuses of Lübeck's universities. Venues outside the city are also involved with their rooms. These include the digitisation and sustainability centre in Bad Oldesloe.

SEE-digital is a network for further education. It is organised by the learning location network around Kiel University of Applied Sciences. SEE-digital offers free learning programmes on future technologies and new applications. The courses are aimed at different target groups and promote co-operation. SEE-digital supports the exchange of ideas, knowledge and technologies between the participants. This allows everyone to work together on solutions to current issues or problems. The courses take place at various locations: At the universities of applied sciences in Kiel and Altenholz, at adult education centres (VHS), in mobile locations, at Offener Kanal Kiel and at the Heinrich Böll Foundation Schleswig-Holstein.

SEE-digital partners include, among others

• The Fachhochschule Kiel
• The Fachhochschule für Verwaltung und Dienstleistung Altenholz
• The VHS Landesverband Schleswig-Holstein
• The Offener Kanal Schleswig-Holstein
