To mark the 100th anniversary of the school, the Department of Contemporary History at Paderborn University's Institute of History has joined forces with students and pupils from the Helene Weber Vocational College to design and realise the exhibition "Helene Weber: Living Democracy, Strengthening Equality".
The exhibition is dedicated to the historical reappraisal of Helene Weber - a pioneer of political education, parliamentary democracy and equality. The project combines university teaching, school practice and regional history education.
The profile of the Helene-Weber-Berufskolleg is also particularly visible in the collaboration: the school has seen itself for many years as a place for the advancement of girls and women, where participation, empowerment and democratic education play central roles. The active involvement of pupils in the exhibition concept is a direct link to this tradition and shows how historical topics can be explored, discussed and organised together.
The opening ceremony will take place on 5 December 2025 at Helene-Weber Berufskolleg. Registrations are possible via this forms.
