Coming to Germany for qualification
18-year-old Alberto Gámez from Venezuela is at the start of his working life but already knows that he wants his career to take him to Germany. He told us what he likes about the working world in Germany and how the programme “Dual education mobility South America” (DAMOS) supported him on his journey to Germany.

That's a class
More and more people in Sub-Saharan Africa want to learn German with African-European textbooks which are not full of cliches and are up to date from a methodology and didactic point of view. “Und jetzt WIR” makes that possible.

The freedom to be free
‘The freedom to be free’ is the title of an essay by Hannah Arendt in which she describes how the freedom to participate in politics is a central element of democracy. In 1967, she wrote that the topic was almost shamefully urgent. And this sentence still applies today.
