What we offer

The Historsich-Ökologische Bildungsstätte is an official residential adult education centre of the federal state of Lower Saxony supported by the county of Emsland and the city of Papenburg. As a recognized institution of adult learning, we put into practice the concept of living, learning and working under one roof in our seminars, workshops and conferences on a wide variety of issues from different areas of interest.

Our education centre was designed according to ecological principles and allows direct access to the departments

- Ecology,
- Energy and Construction and
- Health and Nutrition.

A wide range of activities from our five other departments

- History / Current Affairs
- Rhetoric / Communication / Organisational Development
- Personal Development
- Education and
- Culture and Creativity

completes our programme.

In all our seminars and workshops, we not only communicate knowledge but also support each participant in the free development of his/her personality and in his/her participation in shaping our democratic society
