A canoeing course on the Amper is just as much a part of this as a cooking course in Spanish that prepares empanadas (dumplings): there are very different events in which the Volkshochschule (VHS) Weilheim is particularly interested in the current semester. The VHS program comprises around 350 offers.


A canoeing course on the Amper is just as much a part of this as a cooking course in Spanish that prepares empanadas (dumplings): there are very different events in which the Volkshochschule (VHS) Weilheim is particularly interested in the current semester. The VHS program comprises around 350 offers.

Weilheim– “Water - everything in the river?” Is the main topic for the spring / summer semester of the Volkshochschulen Weilheim, Peißenberg and Penzberg, which has already started. At the VHS Weilheim, the motto is reflected, among other things, in family offers, which are titled “Researching small creatures of the Ammer” (June 20) and “Kreativ an der Ammer” (June 28).

Courses on the main topic of “water” are also among the most popular offers in the current semester. According to VHS director Andrea Marsch, the canoe course on the Amper is already fully booked.

It is the second time that the VHS has focused on a specific topic. This is a "nice challenge for the educational institution," says Marsch. There would be a chance to deal with something new.

Fitness and internet

Anyone who books an offer from VHS Weilheim often does so online. This option is used in around 60 percent of cases - and the trend is increasing, as Marsch explains. The "shopping cart" that is available when booking online is practical. The remaining 40 percent of bookings are made by phone, email or in person at the office.

The new events of the VHS Weilheim include the courses "Fitnessboxing" (start on March 9th) and "Self-Defense for women over 18 years" (from April 23rd). And some offers are a “webinar”, which means that the course participants are present at an event live on the computer - this applies, for example, to the lecture “Mastering the defiance phase together” (March 26).

The VHS program also includes several "German as a foreign language" courses. On Wednesday, February 12th, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., advice and placement tests will be offered in the house at Eisenkramergasse 13. The first of these courses will start on February 17th.

In the current program, the VHS is devoted to the areas of “languages ​​in work and leisure”, “health”, “society and life”, “work and career” and “culture and creativity”. Offers for children and families are summarized under the heading "Young VHS" - "Creative painting" (from February 19) is included as well as the lecture "How can students learn successfully?" (March 24). And in the "VHS Special Golf" two golf courses are offered in Tutzing-Deixlfurt.

Information on the offers of the VHS Weilheim can be found in the program booklet, which is available, among other things, from the office in the Admiral-Hipper-Passage. The homepage of the educational institution is available at www.vhs-weilheim.de.
