Detours

A selfie at the Brandenburg Gate, a tour of Neuschwanstein Castle – all great. But which cities, landscapes and special places in Germany are also worth seeing? Once a month, we take you to a place in Germany that you absolutely must discover!

Journalism Connect

In an era of disinformation and shifting newsroom priorities, Journalism Connect fosters dialogue between emerging journalists from South Asia and Germany on rebuilding trust in the media. Through networking, workshops, and collaborative knowledge-sharing, the fellowship explores challenges such as declining trust in traditional media, AI-driven content creation, and the rise of misinformation.

Typical Germany!

Oh so German!

Do bratwurst, beer gardens, and Lederhosen truly encapsulate Germany? Are fairy tales the country's secret obsession, and is every corner adorned with castles? Oh So German! offers glimpses of the many facets that compose the essence of Deutschland.
