The Volkshochschule Lingen (VHS-Lingen) is set in a rural area and provides a wide variety of courses. Learners come from a wide variety of backgrounds with ages ranging from 15 to 94. Each semester more than 6000 learners enrol on vocational and non-vocational courses such as: Local History and Geography, Politics, Economy, Pedagogy, Literacy and Numeracy, Foreign Languages at various levels, German as a second language (especially for immigrants), preparatory classes for school exams (second-chance education), vocational education, training courses leading to qualification (in-house or external), Information Technology, various Arts courses, Health, and Culture. A great importance is attached to the close collaboration with other adult education centres and local, national and international institutions in order to increase know-how, exchange work experiences and build new contacts with other organisations interested in the same topics. Since 2002 we have been participating in Grundtvig Learning Partnership Projects where our learners have been given the chance to learn more about our European neighbours. These Grundtvig projects have raised our learners’ awareness of European topics and thus have given them a chance to contribute to a better understanding of the European Union in general and the official motto “United in Diversity” in particular. For this HAPPY project, the VHS Lingen will provide a project course where our learners can play games, talk about sleep problems and how to solve them, learn English and organize several workshops on wellbeing and happiness.STAKEHOLDERS
