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”.
