Didacta 2026 Sparks Criticism Over AfD Participation
The upcoming didacta trade fair, scheduled for February 11–15, 2026 in Stuttgart, plans to prioritise education, pedagogy, and social exchange. However, a recent decision not to differentiate between political parties, including the far-right AfD, has sparked criticism.
Last year's event in Stuttgart, held from February 11 to 15, 2025, did not feature any political parties as exhibitors, according to publicly available information. This year, organisers have decided not to distinguish between democratic parties and the far-right AfD party, a move that has been criticised.
The trade fair aims to foster a stronger emphasis on education, pedagogy, and social exchange. However, some argue that allowing the AfD to participate without distinction could potentially create a divisive atmosphere, counterproductive to the fair's objectives.
The didacta trade fair 2026 is set to focus on education and social exchange. While last year's event did not involve political parties, this year's decision to not distinguish between democratic parties and the far-right AfD has drawn criticism. The impact of this decision on the fair's objectives remains to be seen.
