The semester program of the Schiller Adult Education Centre for the autumn/winter semester 2020/2021 has been published - District Administrator Dietmar Allgaier: The focus is on the topic "What holds our society together?"
The new program of the Schiller-Volkshochschule Kreis Ludwigsburg for the autumn/winter semester 2020/2021 has been published and is now available online at www.schiller-vhs.de. The printed program is available in the district's town halls, bookshops and many banks. This semester's focus is on the exciting and highly topical question "What holds our society together?". At the semester focus event on October 6 in Bietigheim-Bissingen, Tim Niedernolte will shed light on an important aspect of social cohesion in his lecture, namely the "wonder weapon of appreciation". The new semester with around 1,600 courses, lectures and excursions starts on September 28.
After the forced break in course operations in spring this year due to the corona crisis, the Schiller-vhs is now starting the autumn/winter semester with its new program full of hope. Some things will be different than usual: registration is now required in advance for evening events, lectures and also for the vernissage of the exhibition series "Kunst im Kreishaus" (previously without registration). Study trips lasting several days are not planned again until spring 2021. Many courses and the start of the semester will take place with significantly fewer participants, and some course formats cannot be held for the time being. However, new innovative offers and exciting online courses will be added. The program for the autumn/winter semester is particularly creative and innovative this time. Specially developed hygiene concepts ensure the greatest possible safety for participants and course instructors in all face-to-face events.
In times of crisis, the question of social cohesion becomes particularly explosive - precisely because the leading theme of our time seems to be division. So divisions wherever you look? Not at all. Social cohesion can emerge anew precisely when it is called into question the most. Our society now has it in its own hands whether the crisis leads to isolation or brings people closer together. Talking to each other, shaping and strengthening diversity - this is now more important than ever. When it comes to cohesion, appreciation is a key issue. TV presenter, journalist and author Tim Niedernolte makes a passionate plea for more appreciation in society, business and in private life in his lecture "Wunderwaffe Wertschätzung" (appreciation as a miracle weapon). Early registration is recommended for the semester kick-off event on October 6 at the Kronenzentrum Bietigheim-Bissingen due to the limited number of participants.
The question "What holds our society together?" will be explored in two special series of events this semester: The themed workshop "How much solidarity does our society need?" is a mixture of seminar, lecture and excursions. On five dates in Marbach, Bietigheim, Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg, participants will engage in on-site discussions with people who are committed to our society. Among other things, there will be a discussion round with church representatives and sellers of the street newspaper Trott-war, who will show "their" city beyond "nice and expensive". At the final seminar, the impressions and findings will be reflected on, documented and the key question answered.
In the ten-part online seminar series "Social cohesion", historical change and structural aspects of social development are explained and discussed. Topics include social movements such as the 1968 movement, the environmental, peace and women's movements, migration and globalization, individualism, systemically relevant professions and intergenerational justice, social media, solidarity and the effects of the coronavirus crisis. At the end of the seminar series, the initial question will be taken up and discussed on the basis of (positive) examples of how social cohesion can work.
At the Academy Days on November 4 and 5 in Bietigheim-Bissingen, experts from various fields will shed light on the question "The great upheaval - what kind of society do we want to/will we live in?". The presentations on the topics of the education system, digitalization, the future of work, economic growth, populism and extremism, social security and the culture of freedom will be followed by discussion rounds between speakers and participants. The kick-off event for the Academy Days is on October 12. Jörg Heynkes will open the lecture series with the topic "Future 4.1: Why we can only save the world digitally - or not at all".
Due to the current situation, lectures in cooperation with the InsideTeam are new to the program. These will provide insights into the work of the emergency services as well as recommendations on precautionary personal hygiene measures, what to do in the event of a disaster and emergency preparedness at home.
Due to the great interest, the "Prevention - The police inform" series will be continued. In the online presentations, police experts explain cybercrime and scams on the phone and online, raise awareness and provide advice on the topics of abuse and domestic violence, give tips on safety in public spaces and provide information on responsible use of social media and online dating platforms. There are also online lectures for teenagers and young adults.
Numerous online courses from all specialist areas are new to the offer: digital cooking courses provide a shopping list in advance and you can cook along in your own kitchen via live video. The free online seminars of the gesundaltern@bw project aim to support citizens in the digitalization of health, medicine and care and enable them to act competently and independently with regard to their own healthcare. New language courses in Business English, Japanese, Arabic and Portuguese take place on a digital learning platform. The XpertBusiness online seminars on business knowledge can be completed from the comfort of your own PC, as can the online courses on desktop publishing and digital image editing. Parents and students can find support for homeschooling in the online courses on the topics of learning motivation, concentration, learning types and memory training. The online course on the sensitive topic of "Smartphones for children" provides parents with information on media use and tips on helpful software settings. In the distance learning courses, participants can choose the start of the course individually and receive individual feedback via email on the exercises they submit.
In addition to the growing digital offering, face-to-face courses naturally continue to make up the largest part of the vhs program. The Schiller-vhs offers courses in the fields of general education, culture and design, health, languages, careers and IT as well as "young vhs" in a total of 36 towns and communities throughout the Ludwigsburg district. In the "vhs unterwegs" section, excursions, visits, guided nature hikes and day trips also take you beyond the district's borders. New in the "Behind the scenes" category are the trips and visits to Faber-Castell in Nuremberg, BASF in Ludwigshafen and the Iffezheim racecourse, as well as a 360-degree tour with VR glasses in the Mercedes-Benz Arena. New art history tours include the August Macke exhibition in Wiesbaden and the WÜRTH Museum in Künzelsau.
Information on all vhs events can be obtained from the Schiller-vhs staff on 07141 144-2666. Registration is now possible: by telephone, online at www.schiller-vhs.de, by email to info@schiller-vhs.de or in writing using the registration card enclosed with the program.
