No question about it, these are troubled times. And now that too: The large adult education center in Lrrach wants to swallow the cute little Steinener and take away her independence. Can she just do it like that? I think so. Apart from the fact that the broad education of citizens, art lectures and the Pilates course are not dependent on how adult education centers are organized in the area: Steinen’s identity certainly does not depend on whether she gets it baked, her really great, but unfortunately simply too small VHS for a few more years and too many euros that she doesn’t have to keep alive. At the latest when Steinens Mini Adult Education Center has to pass the certification, i.e. the quality assurance program of the VHS Association, the moment of truth would strike anyway. Then rather slipped under the wing of the big partner in Lrrach, used the organizational possibilities there and continued to tinker with attractive programs. Because then everyone involved benefits – including the future course participants. So it remains to be hoped that the local council will get the curve on Tuesday and agree on the upcoming merger talks. And, of course, that the political discussions at the administrative level lead quickly to a result. The VHS fans deserved it.
