Cultural Activities in Göttingen

Besides the German language courses our school offers a wide range of leisure time activities. During the summer courses we have at least 3 activities per week and all of them are free of charge. Even travel costs and entry fees are included in the course fee. Also in the rest of the year there are several activities per month which are included in the course fee.

We organize activities that are both, fun and helpful to the understanding of the German culture and people, meaning that you will get a deeper insight into the German way of life and German traditions.

The cultural and leisure programme will create unforgettable memories and will help you to reinforce what you have learned in the language course.

Here are just some examples:

• Town «scavenger hunt» with prizes for the winners
• Guided tours
• Beer seminar
• Pub crawl
• Rowing on the lake «Kiessee»
• Sports (e.g. volleyball, swimming, football, miniature golf, bowling or snooker)
• A visit to a concert, the theatre or to the cinema
• Video films dedicated to German directors, actors or German history
• Photo Safari through Göttingen
• Bike tour
• Half day excursion to an old castle
• Visit to a museum or the botanic garden

All these activities are structured and guided by a teacher.

Excursions

For your free days at the weekend the railway station isn't far away. And with Göttingen being located right in the heart of Germany, most of its major cities are but a day trip away.
