Digital Action Day at the BVZ: Smart City, Advice, and Participation Ideas for Bochum
The action day Smart & digital living in Bochum was supposed to take place on June 26, 2026, at the Education and Administration Center (BVZ) to show how digital solutions can make everyday life easier. However, the event was cancelled due to high temperatures. A rescheduled date is planned according to the announcement after the summer holidays.
What the action day was supposed to offer
It was planned to have information stands, personal advice, and numerous interactive activities focusing on digital participation, mobility, learning and service offerings. The focus was on practical applications that directly support the residents of Bochum in their daily lives: from the Bochum App to the Integreat App to digital mobility offerings and AI-supported learning aids.
Tangible digital participation
Particularly exciting was the mix of information and direct experimentation. Visitors could have sought advice from the partners of the Smart City Innovation Unit, the adult education center, the city library, the municipal integration center, the job center, and BOGESTRA. VR glasses and a rally with a chance to win were also part of the planned program. This combination of expertise, practical applicability, and approachable communication makes such formats a true event experience.
Who the format was intended for
The action day was particularly aimed at language courses for migrants, integration and school graduation classes, but was open to anyone interested in learning about digital offerings in Bochum. Thus, the focus was not only on technology, but also on the question of how digital services can be made understandable, accessible, and practically usable. This is classic event planning with a clear target audience focus.
Conclusion
Even though the event on June 26, 2026, is cancelled, the concept shows how strongly Bochum relies on digital participation, advice, and modern city services. Those interested in Smart City, apps, learning aids, and digital everyday solutions should keep an eye on the announced rescheduled date and experience the format live.
