The vhs Open House on September 18, 2026
Learn, be creative, have fun—for free and without signing up.
We invite all residents of Offenbach to join us on a journey of discovery at the vhs on Friday, September 18, 2026, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Come spend a pleasant, relaxing afternoon with us as we give you a brief, concise, and focused overview of our diverse course offerings.
Twenty-five courses will take place over the course of three hours, and you can participate in any of them for free—the choice is yours! In 45-minute sessions, you’ll get a concise introduction to a new language, a workout or relaxation session, a software program, or an artistic technique—and along the way, you’ll get to know the instructors and their teaching methods. Join us, get inspired, try something new, and meet some nice people!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask our program directors, who will all be on site—perhaps over coffee and cake in our cafeteria on the first floor, where you can grab a bite to eat between classes.
Have fun trying things out, and thank you for spreading the word!
