!!!Bildungsheime

Bildungsheime (formerly Volksbildungsheime, educational centres) offer 
educational programmes for adults and young people. A team of teachers 
manages the courses at these centres, typically containing a strong 
local element and combining leisure activities with educational 
pursuits. In Austria, such centres were first intended for the further 
education of farmers; in 1922, an educational centre was established 
at St. Martin bei Graz (Styria). In 1945, the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der 
Bildungsheime Oesterreichs was founded, which is still the parent 
organisation of the 28 educational centres in Austria, 19 of which are 
organised by the Catholic Church, 4 by the provinces, 1 by the federal 
government and 3 belong to the agricultural sector.
