The work is determined by offerings for different target groups and their variety of methods and content. The orientation of the events is based, on the one hand, on the needs and current trends of our visitors, but on the other hand on social issues that do not reflect the current zeitgeist. The Educational Center also sees its role in addressing and discussing relevant questions of the time, conflicts and problems, as well as processing them and developing them for people and society. The Educational Center sees itself as an intermediary between culture producers and our visitors. The further education, the personal development, life counselling, family and education issues and the promotion of creativity are integral parts of our programme.
As a seminar center, we provide the infrastructural framework for the implementation of seminars, meetings, conferences, and also celebrations. We are available as a professional service provider to the regional and national economy, public institutions, interest groups, and political institutions.
The members of the supporting association, especially the Raiffeisen Bank Group Upper Austria, see the Bildungshaus Sankt Magdalena as a partner for training and further education events, both for voluntary officials and full-time employees.
Attached to the Educational Center is an independent hotel and catering area. Good food and drink, as well as relaxing sleep are what make hospitality for us. As a result, we ensure the possibility of joint communication between event participants, which significantly contributes to the immersion and learning of those involved. Due to its geographical location on the outskirts of Linz, the Educational Center is predestined to be a point of contact between the city and rural population, a bridge between the rural producers and urban consumers. This is also reflected in the purchasing of goods and the product offer.
The happiness of our visitors and customers is the highest maxim of our operations, which is characterised by reliability, quality, efficiency and sustainability. We respond to change and are constantly developing ourselves in this light. Our employees are motivated, independent and are the pillars of our company. The Bildungshaus Sankt Magdalena has the EB Forum OÖ [Adult Educational Forum Upper Austria] quality seal and Ö-Cert [AT-Cert]. Furthermore, we are certified according to ISO 9001:2015.
The diverse and multifaceted (educational) work in Sankt Magdalena is also evident in the fact that two independent associations are based in Sankt Magdalena:
- Vereinsakademie: Consulting and service, as well as a platform for the exchange of experiences and content-coordinated seminars for Upper Austrian associations
- Erwin Wenzl Prize: A 2-year recognition of extraordinary achievements by young Upper Austrians
