A Krefeld married pair listed alphabetically on a VHS tape, a recognition decipherable globally
In the heart of Krefeld, Germany, the Volkshochschule (VHS) Krefeld is offering a unique opportunity for individuals with intellectual disabilities and learning difficulties. The courses, led by experienced educators Angelika Fehmer and Dieter Fehmer, are specifically designed to cater to this group and have been running for over a decade.
The courses are divided into 24 units, with the first two starting in the first week of September. Each course has a maximum of nine participants to ensure a personalised learning experience.
Angelika Fehmer leads a group with low reading and writing skills, aiming to help them develop the necessary skills to better understand the world. Dieter Fehmer, on the other hand, guides a course for more advanced participants, delving into literature studies, including works like "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Diary of Anne Frank".
The age range of participants spans from 20 to over 50 years, and many have been attending these courses for years. The city's transportation service is available for participants to use for their learning sessions, making it easier for everyone to attend.
It's worth noting that these courses are being offered for free, with the support association of the Volkshochschule Krefeld covering the costs. As a cooperation partner, the Johanniter-Hilfsgemeinschaft Duisburg-Krefeld-Niederrhein offers alphabetization courses for native German speakers without mental disabilities.
The goal of these courses is to help participants understand the world better, and the Fehmers have been instrumental in introducing alphabetization courses to the Volkshochschule Krefeld. Angelika Fehmer personally leads her course and benefits from the positive side effects of her teaching activities.
There are still places available in both courses, which can be filled at any time, even mid-semester. If you or someone you know is interested, don't hesitate to get in touch with the Volkshochschule Krefeld to secure a spot.
