Semester commences this Friday, marking the return with a summer celebration.
Get ready for an exciting event as the Volkshochschule Halle (Saale) hosts its annual summer festival on Friday, 22 August 2025, from 3:30 to 7 PM. Located in the VHS courtyard, accessible via Dreyhauptstraße 1, this year's festival is themed "Wir feiern den Semesterstart!" ("We celebrate the start of the semester!").
The festival offers a participatory and informational program for all ages, including free trial offers, creative activities, cultural contributions, and guest appearances. A highlight of the program is a raffle, offering attendees the chance to win prizes as part of the festivities.
Several local partners will join the event, including the Planetarium Halle, City Library, City Museum, New Theater, Basic Education Center Halle - Saalekreis, Friends of the Franckesche Foundations, Friends of the Ancient and Art Monuments of Saxony-Anhalt, Halle plays!/Dice, Kunstmuseum Moritzburg, Omas for Future, the Paul-Riebeck-Stift, the Consumer Center Saxony-Anhalt, the Further Education Agency South, and science2public.
Refreshments will be available throughout the event. While a detailed schedule of individual activities or specific raffle prizes was not found in the available sources, the festival primarily serves as an introduction to the new semester's offerings and a networking opportunity with local cultural and educational partners.
For more information about the raffle prizes or an expanded daily schedule, contacting the Volkshochschule directly or checking their official website close to the event date would be advisable. We look forward to seeing you at the festival!
