Digital-only initiative launched by VHS Bonn: Traditional video courses moved online
Commencing September 1, 2025, Bonn's Adult Education Center (VHS) will initiate a new digital-only program, marking a significant step towards sustainability and cost-effectiveness. The transition stems from a measure to consolidate the budget and reduce paper consumption. This shift aligns with the digitalization trends observed in numerous other adult education centers across Germany.
To facilitate usage for those less adept with digital media, the VHS will introduce a digital "leaflet catalog" on its homepage, allowing for comfortable browsing on tablets. Partial print versions of the program as PDFs will also be accessible through the registration office and subject areas. Additionally, personal on-site advice will be reinforced to ensure smooth navigation for all.
For the second half of the year, the semester theme revolves around "Reducing Inequalities," addressing Goal 10 of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, "Reduce inequality within and among countries." Various events will explore this theme alongside the usual program content.
The VHS can be contacted for queries regarding the program or course booking at 0228 - 77 33 55 or via email at [email protected]. For more information, visit www.vhs-bonn.de.
While specific course titles and detailed content for the upcoming semester have not been provided, Bonn's VHS has a history of offering online and virtual courses related to digital skills, such as professional applications and digital media use. Measures to help beginners or individuals with limited digital experience, including beginner-friendly courses, guidance, and user-oriented accessibility, are expected to persist in the new digital program.
