VHS stands for Volkshochschule, i.e. the non-profit, usually funded by municipalities yet nationwide adult education organisation in Germany. Värikollaasit #403 This were Aino’s colours for the week:
Tag: Volkshochschule
Adult Education
I had never heard of the Chautauqua movement and it was an interesting read.
In Germany we have nothing quite the same, however we have the Volkshochschule – a non-profit and partially government funded adult education institution with branches all over Germany. They were founded after the first world war but earlier organisations who looked after educating people outside the tertiary school system stem from the late 19th century similar to Chautauqua. The building where our local VHS is located is also from the late 19th century.

Adult Education
This art nouveau building was originally built by the Reichsbank at the beginning of the 20th century. It now houses the “Volkshochschule Badische Bergstraße”, a member of the nationwide association of adult education centres.
