Based on the first season of the comedy series “Merz gegen Merz”, four digital meetings will focus on different topics. We offer you the opportunity to keep your German language skills active and discuss the series. The topics of the meetings include current socio-political developments in Germany, entrepreneurship and elder care.

“Merz gegen Merz” is a German comedy series from ZDF in which Annette Frier and Christoph Maria Herbst play a married couple who decide to get divorced and yet continue to pursue their careers together. The family is also burdened by the illness of a close relative, which constantly reshuffles the cards.

The series discussion consists of four live sessions (90 minutes each). To prepare for the live sessions, you will watch two episodes of the series (eight episodes in total, 20 minutes each) individually at home. The topics are tailored to the content of the series episodes. For the entire series discussion, including preparation, you should allow approx. 10 hours, including preparation.

The live sessions will take place on the following dates:
March 11, March 18, April 01 and April 08, 2025 from 05:00 to 06:30 p. m.

As this is a series discussion, the focus is on discussion and exchange on various topics. There will be no specific German lessons. The live sessions are led by a trained moderation team from Europanetzwerk Deutsch.

After successful participation in the series discussion, it is possible to receive a certificate of participation on request.

Please note that we can only consider a limited number of applications. You will receive an acceptance or rejection shortly after the application deadline.
