To mark the 16th edition of the Manifesta art biennial, which has chosen the Ruhr region as its venue due to its unique historical background as a polycentric industrial area, we will be visiting this fascinating region on an extended weekend German course. We aim to examine the economic and social structural change in the Ruhr region and highlight how it has transformed from its industrial past – characterised by coal and steel – into an innovative, knowledge- and technology-oriented region. Innovative ideas for the future, with a focus on the transformation of work, climate change and the future of industry, will be given special attention during this course, whilst the artistic perspective will also be explored through a visit to a Manifesta venue.

Our intensive language courses take place at various locations in Germany (e.g. in Berlin, Frankfurt, Dresden, Munich) and include both, expert discussions with representatives of ministries and professionally relevant specialists as well as an accompanying cultural programme.

Here you will find information about our different German courses’ formats. The focus of these courses is the teaching and practical application of the German language on the basis of socially and politically relevant topics.
