When teaching as an American teacher in Germany you experience politics and society of your hosting country every day. But many details and experiences you encounter only as pieces of a larger unit and without the large context they come from. This seminar will help you to close that gap in your knowledge.

Content:

We will inform you about democracy development and national identity in Germany with an historic overview.

You will get first-hand-information on central events and historic epoches such as National Socialism, German partition and unification, German history within a European context.

You will discuss issues of German-American cooperation in world politics with specialists.

In another seminar there is a special focus on intercultural and interreligious co-existence within German society.

All of those topics are dealt with through a German-American perspective.
