The Roma Adult Education Center Burgenland (Roma VHS) was established in 1999 is part of the largest adult education institution in Austria, the Association of Austrian Adult Education Centers with over 270 offices throughout Austria. We are quality-assured, non-profit adult education institutions under public funding. We stand for a comprehensive concept of education that combines general, political, cultural, and vocational further education that forms the basis and the path to a self-determined and fulfilled life. 

We see ourselves as an independent institution of general education, committed to democracy and ideologically committed to human rights. Our topics arise from the examination of current, (inter)national, regional, and local issues and from educational work against social exclusion tendencies. Educationally disadvantaged groups are of particular concern to us in our pedagogical work. 

We are the main provider of a wide range of preparatory courses for obtaining educational qualifications (compulsory school-leaving certificate, apprenticeship certificate, high school graduation, university entrance qualification examination, vocational maturity examination). We develop special courses for disadvantaged target groups and implement them within the framework of project funding. 

The differentiated language learning program in all regions is one of our most important areas of offering – for instance, you can learn the language of the Roma people (Romani) at our institution, the Roma VHS.
