Adult Education Centre Chemnitz
We constantly encounter new things in all areas of life: lifelong learning becomes a matter of course.
Twice a year, the Adult Education Centre (VHS) programme provides information about the wide range of educational opportunities on offer with courses, events and lectures in areas such as politics, history, health education, natural sciences, vocational training, IT, languages and countries, culture and artistic design.
The facility also sees itself as a place of communication and integration, where people of different origins and social status and of all ages meet and enter into dialogue with each other.
Programme booklet for the summer semester 2024 published
Courses can also be booked online
The Chemnitz Adult Education Centre's programme for the 2024 summer semester was published on Monday, 5 February. The semester catalogue will be available in the Adult Education Centre's rooms and in the foyer of the TIETZ from 10 a.m. on this day. The freshly printed programme will then be distributed in person on Thursday, 8 February, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the adult education team's "Market Day" on Neumarkt.
In the 270-page catalogue, the adult education centre presents its programme for the coming summer semester, which begins on 26 February 2024, in printed form. The programme has been available online atwww.vhs-chemnitz.de since 4 December 2023. Around 570 courses from six subject areas are waiting to be discovered, booked and attended. The Chemnitz Adult Education Centre is once again focusing on the diversity of the tried and tested and the new.
Focus on Europe: Polish humour and Finnish pop songs
The motto for the next two semesters at the Chemnitz Adult Education Centre is "Focus: Europe". Among other things, European values, traditions, cultural and social characteristics as well as challenges will be addressed - in a lively and vivid way. Lectures, workshops, exhibitions and cookery courses illustrate how much we have in common with people in other European countries.
Two countries in particular will be highlighted in the summer semester: From 11 to 27 March 2024, the adult education centre will be focusing on our neighbouring country Poland - with topics such as language, football, politics and humour. The second country weeks will take us to Finland from 27 May to 7 June 2024. This country in the far north of Europe has shaped sauna culture and spawned Nordic walking. During the Finland Weeks, however, the focus will also be on the great Finnish
passion for pop songs and tango, insights into the Finnish education system as well as coffee and cinnamon buns - or as they say in Finland:Kahvi ja Korvapuusti.
