On the first day of the course, in the afternoon, the school organizes a tour of the city on which you will see the beautiful port, the Alster, the famous Hamburg landmark, St. Michael's Church, better known as the 'Michel', and many other attractions.
One Excursion per week are organized to other cities in the area; in particular we recommend Lüneburg, Lübeck, Bremen, Berlin and Copenhagen.
The school organizes regular lectures in German. Topics include 'The Third Reich' and 'The Role of Germany in Europe'. These help you to gain a deeper understanding of the problems and

conflicts within Germany today. Students have the opportunity to discuss the topics after the lectures.
Classical or modern films are shown, for example films by R. W. Fassbinder, W. Wenders or D. Buck. Those who are interested can apply their knowledge of German by discussing the films afterwards.
During the course other events are organized for the evenings. The school will be pleased to pass on information about sporting activities such as swimming, keep-fit classes and other leisure activities.
Note: Cultural activities are free of charge but the student is expected to pay any extra expenses involved, such as travel and food. The culture and spare time activities programme does not form part of the contract
