Beitrag
In December 2025, ten educators and ISOC‑CH members convened at Langstrasse 200 to explore the role of FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) in Swiss schools. The discussion reflected classroom experience, technical insight, and policy concerns to identify practical pathways for adoption.
Key outcomes include promoting critical reflection, targeted teacher training, a culture of experimentation, developer requirements, political outreach, and sharing success stories.
This workshop aims to translate those pathways into hands‑on activities, ideally training modules (for educators), and a roadmap for locally controlled, FLOSS‑friendly learning environments.
Participants will leave with concrete steps to integrate FLOSS into curricula, school IT strategies, and community advocacy.
