Tips
- Look for keywords like ‘adult education’, ‘public courses’, or ‘continuing education’. Eliminate options that restrict the institution to a specific age group or purpose (e.g., only youth, only retirees, or religious instruction). Remember that many German civic institutions are open to the general public and focus on lifelong learning.
