Athens College Elementary School - German Department: A visit to the Goethe-Institut Athen
Mar 27, 2025
On March 10 and 17, 2025, Athens College Elementary School 6 students from the German Department had a unique experience during their visit to Goethe-Institut Athen.
As part of the visit, students participated in an original, experiential workshop, titled "Kinder Uni - Children's University". They explored the interactive platform of Children's University and focused on the fields of "Humans", "Nature" and "Technology", primarily centering on "Humans".
Through creative activities, teamwork, and games, the students practiced their German speaking skills while discussing important social issues. They specifically explored the role of guide dogs for people with visual impairments, fostering empathy and respect.
In addition, students experienced the German-speaking environment of the Goethe-Institut, explored its welcoming spaces, and indulged in traditional Bretzel from the canteen - adding a delicious touch to their visit!
Our students were thrilled to expand their knowledge of German language and culture beyond the classroom. This visit reflects Athens College Elementary School's commitment to providing diverse learning experiences that enhance language proficiency, cultural awareness, and social responsibility, preparing students for an open and multicultural world.
