Cologne Adult Education Center: Autumn program with 3,000 new courses starts!
In September, the Cologne Adult Education Center is enthusiastically starting its new fall and winter program. A real feast for the ears for anyone who wants to further their education or simply pursue new interests. With around 3,000 courses and events in areas such as languages, digital media, health, sustainability, nature, culture, politics and integration, there is something for every generation and phase of life. The Cologne Adult Education Center attaches particular importance to its annual theme "Knowledge gives courage. Education for a living democracy", which not only gives rise to joyful learning, but also has social relevance.
As the Cologne City Gazette reports, an important event for political education will start on September 6th, which will be dedicated to the upcoming local elections in Cologne-Porz. Participants can look forward to stimulating discussions with stakeholders in district politics as well as book presentations and lively discussions on the topic of democracy. The interest in such political education shows that the adult education center not only imparts knowledge, but also actively contributes to the formation of opinions.
Creativity and health in focus
In addition to political education, the creative and health offerings are also being expanded. On the Website of the Cologne Adult Education Center You will find, among other things, courses such as 3D printing and rhetoric training, which are particularly important for professionals who want to keep their finger on the pulse of the times. But there is also something for the health-conscious: the new course that awaits course participants is the “Stretch and Relax” course, which combines stretching exercises with conscious breathing. And for seniors, the course “Loose with a stool! Yoga for seniors” offers simple exercises that can be easily integrated into everyday life.
Culture also has a permanent place in the new program. A Tango Argentino taster course will be offered on September 6th, which will certainly be a completely new experience for many. There are also drawing and writing courses, as well as the exciting exhibition “Invisibly Connected”, which will be on display from October 1st to 30th in the Vhs study house on Neumarkt. Here culture comes alive and exchange is encouraged – a real treat for art lovers!
Variety of courses for all age groups
When it comes to education, language courses should not be forgotten either. There are over 30 foreign language and German courses to choose from, including a course with the promising title “Learning German – Preparation for German A1”. Particular attention is also paid to the “Te cuento algo” workshop, which is specifically designed for Spanish-speaking children and parents. The Cologne Adult Education Center keeps this diversity in step with the needs of a constantly changing society.
No classic program booklet will be offered in the second half of the year, but a new VHS magazine will be published from winter onwards, which has a fresh look and regularly provides information about interesting courses. Users have the opportunity to easily book their desired courses online. A practical search function makes it possible to search specifically for topics or keywords and filter the results by location. Education has never been so accessible!
It's worth taking a look at VHS website, where the entire course program is published and bookable. It has never been so easy to immerse yourself in the world of knowledge and have fun at the same time. So, don’t be shy – just take a look and find the right offer!
