 Willkommen
nach Deutschland. Vitamé Vas.
Germany has become central to efforts to create lasting
peace and prosperity in Europe. A beautiful and historic nation, Germany
has made lasting contributions to the fields of science, literature, music,
architecture, and the visual arts. Today, home to the largest immigrant
population in Europe, this melting pot of different races, ethnicities,
and nationalities pulses with a dynamic creative energy.
Orientation In Berlin
Berlin is the geographic heart of unified Europe.
A gateway between East and West, it boasts a fascinating history and a
vibrant cultural scene. Spend 10 days engaged in German language classes
while you explore some of Berlin's most famous sites.
Sample activities: Explore the Brandenburg Gate in the center
of reunified Berlin; learn how life has changed since the fall of the
Berlin Wall as you visit Checkpoint Charlie; use your German language
skills in markets, cafés, and museums.
Exploration in Weimar
Travel by bus and train to quaint villages, medieval
castles, and soft rolling hills on your way to enchanting Weimar--a historic
city of poets, intellectuals, and composers. Goethe, Schiller, Bach, Liszt,
and Strauss have all called Weimar home. Here, Germany created its first
democratic constitution and, tragically, one of its first concentration
camps, Buchenwald. Your journey through this region gives you a glimpse
into Germany's storied and tumultuous history.
Homestay And Community Service
Journey to Thuringia in the former East Germany to
live with a welcoming German family and learn more about the rich culture
of the Sorbian ethnic minority. Practice your German language skills by
visiting local markets or spending time with your host family. During
the homestay, work side by side with local community members on a meaningful
service project.
 Travel
and Exploration in the Czech Republic
Following your homestay, you and your group voyage
into the Czech Republic for an unforgettable stay in Prague and Moravia
in the eastern part of the country. An important European capital for
centuries, Prague is a stunning combination of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque,
and Art Nouveau architecture. Around every corner, you find artists, poets,
musicians, and street performers. The Czech Republic's beauty and indomitable
spirit will take your breath away.
Sample activities: Take long walks through the narrow, winding
cobblestone streets of Prague's Staré Mesto--the old town; stroll
across the world-famous Charles Bridge; spend the afternoon with a group
of young Czechs in the shadow of Prague's fairy tale castle; raft down
rivers and hike mountain trails through picturesque villages.
| Rudy Dillone's beaming face clearly revealed
his excitement. It seemed as if the boy from New York City simply
could not resist the charms of his host mother, Kantorka Marie Hentschel.
Without further ado, he took Marie's arm in his, and simply swayed
to the music. The young American Experimenters had finally arrived!
