The Volkshochschule Schrobenhausen is a Open University for adult people. In our Institution all subjects are taught; in specific history and citizen partnership are important subjects.

In our university all kind of adults have the possibility to study. In some courses we teach persons, who are old (we have special courses for over 60’s), who are disabled or who have special needs. As well we have courses for migrants for a better integration.

A lot of the big cities in Germany have their origin in old Roman settlements, the justice-system and the most of the scientific- and art-divisions are based on Hellenistic origin. To learn, “what is where from” is one of the most important aims. The result will be an adult-course with the name “Hellenistic Roots in Germany”.

Some Basics on Volkshochschule Schrobenhausen

• In Bavaria quite a lot of adult schools are managed by non-profit incorporated societies on behalf of the town administration.
• These societies are funded by local administrations on the town and district level and (very little) by the state of Bavaria, but are often forced to act more in an economical than in a pedagogical way by lack of aid.

Université de Corse Pascal Paoli

Our University, Università di Corsica – Pasquale Paoli, located in the city of Corti, in the mountainous heartland of Corsica, an island enjoying some of the greatest water resources in the Mediterranean, means to be dynamic, ambitious and focused on people. Established in 1765, it comprises more than 4500 students (among whom 12% of international students, i.e. 54 different nationalities), more than 300 teachers and scholars, and delivers more than 80 degrees, displayed over a large educational offer: Law; Economics and Management; Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; Sports and Physical Activities; Sciences and Technologies; Health and Med School.

Our scientifical priorities have brought us to get strongly involved in Environment, Culture and Identity thematics, but also in Information and Communication Networking Technologies. This tends towards the completion of a double requirement: first, the creation and transmission of valuable knowledge centered on main topical issues; secondly, the will to play a significant and effective part in our island’s crucial development, in terms of Identity, Politics, Environment Preservation and Sustainable Development.

Though a multidisciplinary institution, embracing both Humanities and Sciences, the University of Corsica is aiming at carrying out 7 main scientifically-oriented programs, acknowledged by many publications and business-related patents: Cultural Identity and Heritage Process, Information and Communication Technologies, Struggle against Wildfires, Renewable Energy, Territorial Dynamics and Sustainable Development, Natural Resources, Water Management and Valuation in the Mediterranean. These 7 programs also take place in many international partnerships worldwide.

Thus, our University is a member of the World Water Faculty (Faculté mondiale de l’Eau), created in 2002 by Prof. Riccardo Petrella, instigator of the World Water Contract and founder of the University of the Common Good. This Faculty consists of an international network of scholars specialized in water issues and whose aim is to make people of every origin and background (scholars but also professionals, politicians, citizens) aware that water must be considered as a “common good”.
