We are looking for: Community Growth & Event Manager (f/m/d)
We opened the Education Lab in April 2025! In close cooperation with the City of Vienna and many other partners, we have created a place for everyone who wants to actively shape education in Vienna.
Educators, people from administration, civil society and educational practice meet here. They exchange experiences, share ideas and network in order to shape the future of kindergartens and schools together. The aim is to make existing innovations visible – and to disseminate them together.
