Who we are?
The ARGE Bildungshäuser Österreich (ARGE BHÖ) is a network of 20 educational centres, and the federal association of Austrian educational centres.
It is the ARGE BHÖ’s objective to represent member institutions regarding education policy to the outside, and to promote and support internal exchange. The collective quality criteria (ISO9001:2015) and the further education programmes for the educational centre staff are part of the main activities.
The ARGE BHÖ is a member of the KEBÖ (Austrian Conference of Adult Education Institutions).
The educational centres themselves are autonomous Austrian adult education institutions of varying ownership. They dispose over an independent, multifaceted education programme and the possibility of overnight stays. They offer their guests and participants modern, high-grade seminar rooms and excellent meals.
