- Description/content
- Do you want to advance your German at a high level – while engaging with both historical and current topics that truly matter? Then this course is for you.
In Wittenberg, the historic birthplace of the Reformation, you'll explore protest movements that have shaped society – from Martin Luther and the Peaceful Revolution in Leipzig to today’s climate and democracy movements. You'll examine how language plays a role in these processes, how media and symbols are used, and how words can express conviction and drive change.
What to expect:
• Advanced language training (C1/C2): communicative lessons focused on discussion, argumentation, and working with authentic texts
• Excursions to Berlin, Leipzig, and Halle: visits to places of political and cultural significance
• Workshops and project work: get hands-on and develop your own ideas
• Insights into university life in Germany: exchange with fellow students and academic environments
This course combines intensive language development with engaging content from history, society, and media. You’ll work with real-world materials, sharpen your academic German, and explore how language shapes activism and public discourse. At the end, you'll present your own mini-project – and take home new language skills, experiences, and connections.
