Digital Independence Day in Aalen: An afternoon for digital self-determination
The Digital Independence Day brings together people on November 7, 2026, at the vhs Aalen who want to use digital tools more consciously and independently. From 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, everything in the Paul-Ulmschneider-Saal will be focused on free software, practical help, and personal advice. Admission is free.

A meeting point for transition, exchange, and everyday assistance
The Hackwerk e. V., the Computertruhe, and the vhs Aalen invite visitors and accompany them in transitioning from Windows to Linux and with questions about open-source and free software alternatives like OnlyOffice. The format focuses on direct support and an open, low-threshold event atmosphere that also welcomes beginners.

Hands-on technology instead of dry theory
The focus is not on a frontal lecture, but rather on a practical event experience with personal support. This fits the profile of the Volkshochschule Aalen, which describes its offerings as target group-oriented, diverse, and geared towards social developments. Here, educational mission meets concrete application in everyday life. ([vhs-aalen.de](https://www.vhs-aalen.de/service/leitbild?utm_source=openai))
The event location in the Torhaus
The Paul-Ulmschneider-Saal is located in the Torhaus at Gmünderstraße 9 in Aalen. For access, the location is well-connected: the vhs mentions parking options in the underground garage of the town hall at Gmünder Torplatz, as well as accessible parking spots at the building and a bus stop at Gmünder Torplatz. An elevator connects the levels of the Torhaus. ([aalen.de](https://www.aalen.de/digital-independence-day-digitaler-unabhaengigkeitstag.254239.htm))
The Torhaus is thus considered a fitting setting for an event that takes digital participation seriously and aims to reduce barriers as much as possible. Especially at an open technology and consultation day, this creates trust and a pleasant atmosphere for the audience. ([vhs-aalen.de](https://www.vhs-aalen.de/service?utm_source=openai))
