Looking Back at Class visits 2023
In 2023, we had the pleasure of welcoming 556 students to the Goethe-Institut. During the one-hour session, they received an introduction to the Goethe-Institut and playfully explored the world of German music. The students greatly enjoyed the music, demonstrated competitiveness and interest in the topics discussed. Regardless of their level of language proficiency, all students were able to immerse themselves in the German language during their stay. The students also expressed their excitement about visiting the nearby Christmas market, which they were heading to after their visit at the Goethe-Institut.
Looking Back at Class visits 2022
Between Thanksgiving and the winter holidays, 22 school classes from Illinois and surrounding states visited us for a one-hour visit to the Goethe-Institut followed by a visit to the Christkindlmarket. During the hour-long visit, students either explored current topics about Germany using the interactive map of Germany or discussed the topic of consumption with the help of the song "Zeug" by the band ok.danke.tschüss. The overall response was positive and we were very happy to be able to hold all class visits in presence!
Looking Back at Class visits 2021
In November and December, eight classes with a total of over 130 students visited the Goethe-Institut Chicago. Using our new Deutschlandcollage, the students worked on various topics in groups. Together, they created a quiz and got to know Germany better. The classes rounded off their trip to Chicago with a visit to the Chicago Christmas market. Unfortunately, due to the rising COVID numbers, all class visits had to be cancelled from mid-December onwards.
