Programm

Being able to communicate effectively and authentically is more than knowing the basic grammar rules of English. The next step is to understand the cultural values that are embedded within the language itself. In this 3 hour workshop we will explore the similarities and differences of German-American communication. Come see how much of our culture is reflected in our language!

Sa 30.03. 1x 11:15 - 14:30 Uhr

In this crash course, we'll cover some of the most common mistakes made by English learners and identify false friends. Listen to a few stories and anecdotes about how these false friends can get us into trouble and celebrate the joys and pitfalls of learning languages.

Dieser Kurs findet im Raum "San Francisco" (Erdgeschoss) statt.

Peace and/or conflict? An exploration of the themes of power, desire, belonging and rejection in the modern era.

The struggle to belong is at the heart of the human experience. Entirely sufficient on our own and/or completely dependent on others, people strive to be the author of their own experience, often while simultaneously wanting to control the lives of those around them. The essence of this struggle is the challenge of knowing oneself and one’s relation to the universe. Together we will examine what this has meant historically while drawing comparisons and counterpoints with examples from modern media. Once a month participants will be invited to come together to discuss the readings and reflect on the journey. Guiding questions will begin with a focus on:
- Ethnicity and race
- World religion and conflict
- Globalization in times of post-truth

Join us as we work on being curious, suspending preconceptions, asking questions, and listening for understanding.
