Bildungszentrum Kirkel der Arbeitskammer des Saarlandes

The Bildungszentrum Kirkel der Arbeitskammer des Saarlandes is located in an idyllic setting on the edge of Kirkel, in the heart of the UNESCO Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve. It is a modern conference and cultural center located in the green forests of the region and welcomes around 35,000 participants every year.

• Further Education and Training: The center offers a variety of seminars and training courses aimed at works councils and staff councils, representatives of severely disabled employees, and employees who want to further their education in accordance with the Saarländisches Bildungsfreistellungsgesetz (Saarland Educational Leave Act). The topics range from IT training to politics and law to rhetoric and communication seminars.
• Accommodation and Service: The Bildungszentrum has modern and tastefully furnished accommodations and offers barrier-free rooms for people with disabilities. Participation in seminars usually includes meals and, for multi-day seminars, accommodation.
• Cultural Activities and Leisure: Cultural events take place regularly at the center, and there are numerous leisure activities. In addition, childcare is offered in the local kindergarten to make it easier to reconcile family and work.

The Bildungszentrum attaches great importance to solidarity-based learning and offers an environment in which competitive situations and performance pressure are avoided in order to ensure the desired learning success. The modernization of the center in recent years has made it one of the most modern educational institutions in Germany.

The Bildungszentrum has undergone extensive renovation measures to bring it up to the latest state of the art. These included an energy-efficient renovation, which was funded by the European Regional Development Fund. These investments in infrastructure reflect the center's commitment to creating a sustainable and ecologically sound environment that meets the needs of both learners and the environment.
