The Baden-Württemberg Adult Education Association is the professional association representing the interests of the 162 adult education centres in the state, with almost 650 branch offices.
The Adult Education Centres are part of the largest provider of continuing education for the general public. Our objective is to support these institutions in their work in terms of content and education policy so that they can fulfil their role that is so important for the future of our society.
Like its members, the Baden-Württemberg Adult Education Association, a recognised non-profit organisation, is ideologically and party-politically neutral. It works particularly closely with the state of Baden-Württemberg, with the municipal state associations and with the state association of church adult education (KiLAG). The state of Baden-Württemberg supports the work of the state association financially and in non-material ways.
