• Teacher training (in English): Emphasizing theater as an innovative pedagogical tool.
• Insights into the German academic world (in English): Providing valuable perspectives on functions, topics, and issues.
• Interdisciplinary seminars (in English): Offering a comprehensive understanding of Germany within the European context.

Our courses take place in a relaxed atmosphere in the historic center of Freiburg. The picturesque old town campus and Freiburg’s unique location provide ideal opportunities for excursions to the border triangle – whether to the Black Forest, Basel, Zurich, Strasbourg, or even Paris and Milan.
