The topic of esoteric courses at German adult education centers is regularly in the press and the finger is pointed at sometimes actually absurd topics - but what is really behind the recurring complaint about astrology and homeopathy courses at the vhs? And what are the interest groups doing with regard to quality assurance? In her lecture, Stephanie Dreyfürst reports, among other things, on secretly attended swearing courses and the reactions to her initiative against "swearing in the vhs".

Dr. Stephanie Dreyfürst, a doctor of German and director of vhs Wiesbaden e.V., is a founding member of Skeptix and, in addition to editorial work, is primarily involved in "swear-free adult education."
