A language is a living phenomenon. It is spoken in everyday life and cannot be learned exclusively from books. That's why the German Unit offers its students, members and other interested parties a wide range of activities. Please feel free to visit the various sections to learn more about these different activities.

Excursions and trips
En route!
A language is a living phenomenon. It's spoken every day and can't be learned exclusively from books. That's why the German Unit offers its students a host of activities outside the classroom.
One of our successful formulas: didactic trips to Germany and Austria.
We organize them, twice a year, one for BLOC 1 students, the other for BLOC 2 and BLOC 3 students. For them, it's an ideal opportunity to get to know the country, its culture, to deepen their knowledge of the language, to use it in "everyday life".
A condition to be met by all participants... we speak German, all day long. Deutsch sprechen den ganzen Tag!
Our destinations? Aachen, Berlin, Bonn, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Vienna ...
Bloc 1 - Excursion to Aachen - December 2023
What better place for a first German experience than the pretty border town of Aachen? BLOC 1 students and their assistants visited the International Newspaper Museum and took part in a guided tour in German. Not forgetting Aachen's not-to-be-missed Christmas market, to sample a Glühwein or Reibekuchen.
Bloc 2 & 3 - Trip to Frankfurt - February 2023
During the weekend in Frankfurt organized by the German unit in February 2023, BLOC 2 and 3 students discovered the city on the Main and its different architectural styles. A visit to Goethe's birthplace, the Museum of Romanticism and the Paulskirche, where Germany's very first assembly was held, were on the program.
