German term or phrase: "Bildung light"
Das sich auf diesem Sektor abzeichende Infobusiness verlangt vermeintlich
nach einer anderen Gestaltung, zumal sich Messen und andere
Verkaufsveranstaltungen immer stärker mit historischen Artefakten und
didaktisch aufbereiteter Vermittlung von Technik in Form von "Bildung light"
schmücken, und den alteingesessenen Institutionen der kunst- und
technikorientierten Museen die Besucher abspenstig machen.

I don't know how to translate Bildung light here.
Thanks

Education light
Explanation:
I think "Education light", or perhaps "Culture light" works quite well here as an equivalent". (Refers to Pepsi light etc,) The other possibility is to bring this out be spelling it "lite". If you can bring yourself to that. :-)
