VHS takes positive stock at the start of the semester

Registration for the new 2024/1 programme of the Bocholt-Rhede-Isselburg Adult Education Centre has been open for a fortnight. The new semester starts this week and the Adult Education Centre is very pleased with the results. Registrations are possible on an ongoing basis.

The Bocholt-Rhede-Isselburg Adult Education Centre has started an exciting and varied first half of the programme. With over 400 events in Bocholt, Rhede and Isselburg, online and at external venues, the VHS is offering a wide range of further education programmes for different interests and target groups in the first half of 2024.

"We are very pleased that we can once again offer a varied programme. The number of registrations has risen once again and is significantly higher than in previous years. This shows that people are keen on education, new things and discoveries and that the VHS team and the course leaders have developed the right programmes", says Isabel Testroet, Director of the Adult Education Centre.

Registrations are still possible on an ongoing basis via the VHS homepage as well as at the Bocholt office and the Rhede and Isselburg branches. "We are particularly excited about the move to our big new LernWerk" this half-year, says the VHS director. "We are of course looking forward to welcoming all participants there soon. However, it is important that the events start as planned in our previous premises for the time being and that we draw attention to the relocation of the courses", says Testroet.

The VHS year begins tomorrow, Friday, with the lavish multivision "Magical Places - An Adventurous Journey to Europe's Mystical Places" by Hartmut Krinitz at 7.30 pm in the auditorium of the Kapu Bocholt. Tickets for the event are still available at the box office. Many other highlights will follow immediately: on 15 February at 7 pm in Rhede, the VHS will present "Scandinavian Adventures on the Way to the North Cape" by Michael Moll. This year's University Days are dedicated to love, pop songs and football and the HealthTalk will focus on the topic of care. On 21 March, the digital university advice day will once again take place for all interested pupils from Bocholt and Rheder schools.

The varied programme is complemented by many other offers ranging from IT, art, literature and AI (artificial intelligence) to gardening trips, private provision and, above all, foreign languages and German as a foreign language. Cookery courses are offered in the LernWerk's new kitchen and health courses will find a feel-good place in the new relaxation room after the move.

"There is something for everyone. Our events and courses provide initial insights or ongoing learning, so that lifelong learning with different interests and inclinations is possible and this directly on site in Bocholt, Rhede and Isselburg, other venues and very soon in the LernWerk", Isabel Testroet is pleased to say.

Anyone looking online via the VHS homepage can also find out where there are still places available. The programme booklet can be picked up in printed form at various locations (including BBV) or viewed digitally. Alternatively, a personal consultation is possible at the VHS office, at the Rhede and Isselburg branches or by telephone on 02871-953 7697.
