| 7:30am - 8:45am | Social Event | Morning City Tour (Registration required) Location: Graz Town Hall Get to know Graz and its unique atmosphere on a quick morning city tour! This tour is designed for conference attendees who don’t want to – or can’t – set aside a whole evening to explore Graz. On this tour, too, our professional city guides have plenty of fascinating stories to share. The tour starts at the town hall and ends at the University of Graz – so you’ll arrive at the conference on campus in good time! This is a joint event for participants of FEC26 and "MEDIDA 2026: 3rd Conference of the Media Didactics Working Group" organised by the Media Didactics Working Group (AK) within the Media Education Section of the German Society for Educational Research. |
