Format

Presentation Visits offer input talks to school classes which are held by US-experts with pedagogical experience. The topics cover a wide range of US-specific topics that are to be covered by the syllabus.

The topics encompass political processes, human rights, immigration, social movements and global warming. They also cover the Abitur focus “The Ambiguity of Belonging". During election years we also offer talks on the presidential elections.

As native speakers our speakers bring a unique perspective to every topic as they can combine facts with personal life experiences and anecdotes.

Process

Normally, a Presentation Visit lasts 90 minutes: 70 minutes are planned for the talk and 20 minutes are dedicated to a discussion which engages the students.

A Presentation Visit can take place on-site or virtually. A school class’ visit in the d.a.i. is also possible and can be combined with a library tour or an introduction of our databases.

You can find our current offer of topics here (German)

Your topic is not included? You are very welcome to suggest a topic but please remember that is has to reflect Baden-Württemberg’s syllabus.

The service charge per student is 4,-€ . If your school is a d.a.i.-member it is 3,-€ per student. You can ask for a flat charge should multiple classes partake. Please remember that we have to take the speaker’s fee as well as their travels into account.

You have a desired date in mind? Then you can register immediately.
