In the first lockdown, adult education centers, adult education institutions and other non-formal education providers also had to discontinue their presence. This time they are excluded. But what happens and what doesn't? Everyone decides a little differently.


In the first lockdown, adult education centers, adult education institutions and other non-formal education providers also had to discontinue their presence.

This time they are excluded.

But what happens and what doesn't?

Everyone decides a little differently.

Fürstenfeldbruck -

"We are very pleased that we don't have to shut down this time," says Benedikt Rossiwal, Managing Director of the Brucker Forum.

For him, this is a signal that the government attaches importance to extracurricular education.

One wants to justify this trust and therefore not discontinue the offer in solidarity with other cultural bearers, if one can keep it up.

"The dark season is coming, we can be a meaningful offer," said Rossiwal.

What is education?

But what is education and what is not?

"We don't have any yoga or exercise classes," says Rossiwal.

Because that is more sport than adult education.

And it is also forbidden to clubs.

The speakers and trainers have been informed, now it has to be clarified whether the courses will be canceled or continued later.

At the Brucker Volkshochschule (VHS), on the other hand, they are still checking whether health courses such as yoga or Pilates may take place, reports managing director Silvia Reinschmiedt.

This week the German integration courses are running at the VHS, after the holidays the regular attendance courses are added.

As before, the participants sit at individual tables 1.5 meters apart.

New: "Masks are also required in lessons," explains Reinschmiedt.

Many participants would have done this before.

In general, the visitors would adhere to the hygiene regulations.

"We are grateful that you are participating and that the house will remain open," said Reinschmiedt.

Therefore nothing should be canceled.

At the VHS Mammendorf, there are also no sports and relaxation courses in November.

A small online program was put together for the participants.

The language and school lessons continue as before with the increased hygiene measures and mask requirement.

In the meantime, a lot is happening online at the Brucker Forum.

“It doesn't hit us quite as coldly as in spring,” says Benedikt Rossiwal.

But courses such as Mama learns German or the ABC of the apartment can hardly be implemented digitally.

Therefore, the speakers can decide whether to offer the classroom lessons or to cancel them.

"And participants can also withdraw their registration without any disadvantage."

In the citizens' pavilion

In the citizens' pavilion on the Fürstenfeldbrucker Heimstättenstraße, all offers such as the computer meeting point, Fürstenacker and the moments of happiness are exposed.

The first lucky trees should have been planted next week, says manager Martin Tielke.

This should be made up for in the spring, other tree planters can contact us.

Homework support has been switched to online - as far as possible.

“At the moment, only social counseling is possible,” says Tielke.

This category also includes the city council, in which city councils ask citizens questions and answers in a kind of consultation hour.

One person or household is allowed, the next have to wait outside.

And there is also good news for the children: the Bruck adventure playground is also part of the extracurricular educational offer.

This is how the holiday program can take place.

The game is played in the fresh air, weatherproof clothing is required, the supervisors say.

The adventure playground

The Germeringer adventure playground decided differently.

The holiday program is canceled there, but the playground itself remains open.

The city's adult education center is still thinking about which courses can be held after the autumn break and how, and where to switch to online.

It is clear that city and nature tours do not take place.

The VHS Gröbenzell announces that the course will continue.

Health events that require a lot of breathing and exercise would have to be suspended.

This applies to fitness and dance, for example.

Here, too, tours and excursions will be canceled.

Missed course days should be made up at the end of the course.

Some things will also be continued in online format due to the corona.
