Seven Education discusses the future of school education in the age of AI with renowned experts

Panel discussion ‘Time for Strengths’ at didacta 2026: How digital tools relieve teachers – and create space for relationships, motivation and learning support.

Koblenz/Cologne, 5 March 2026 – Seven Education is bringing together leading voices from education, practice and association work at didacta 2026. The panel discussion ‘Time for Strengths – How Technology Strengthens the Human Core’ aims to clarify how digital tools can relieve teachers in their everyday work without replacing pedagogical work. The aim is to create more time for what school is all about: relationships, motivation and individual support. The event will take place on 12 March 2026 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in the North Congress Centre of didacta in Cologne.

The panel discussion will feature:
Daniel Jung, KI-Coach und SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautor

• Daniel Jung, AI coach and SPIEGEL bestselling author

• Lydia Clahes, coach for teachers and author

• Susanne Lin-Klitzing, Federal Chair of the German Philologists' Association

• Daniel Zacharias, CEO (Seven Education)

• Moderation: Anja Backhaus (WDR)

Daniel Jung sees the added value of digital support primarily in areas where routine tasks take up time: ‘The key strength of teachers in 2026 will not be imparting knowledge, but building relationships, motivating students and supporting their learning – technology can help by explaining routines, providing practice opportunities, giving feedback and highlighting learning gaps, so that teachers have more time for genuine support.’

Daniel Zacharias, CEO of Seven Education, aims to use technology in a way that noticeably reduces the workload of educators. ‘We don't develop technology for technology's sake, but to empower people,’ he says. "Artificial intelligence can deliver its greatest value when it noticeably reduces the workload of teachers, giving them more time for what really matters.

Seven strengths as a guiding principle
Under the guiding principle of ‘Time for Strengths’, the discussion will address seven educational strengths: teaching skills, trust, empathy, responsibility, organisation, reflection and confidence.

The panel will discuss, among other things, the opportunities and limitations of AI in education as a useful support in everyday life, as well as the questions of which skills teachers will particularly need in the future and how schools can integrate technology responsibly.

Experience Seven Education at didacta
In addition to the panel discussion, Seven Education invites trade visitors to experience the company's solutions for the education sector at its exhibition stand – in particular for school and nursery communication as well as for organisational and administrative processes, including integrated AI-supported functions. With the help of an Experience Box, visitors to the exhibition can rediscover their own strengths. The company's new brand identity will also be presented.
