  • mini-lectures with the context of the era;
  • open discussions;
  • creative tasks;
  • musical interludes;
  • additional materials.

Thematic focus: — classics (Goethe, Schiller, and others); — modernism (Kafka, Rilke, and others); — post-war and contemporary German literature.

Audience of the project: students, upper-grade schoolchildren, lovers of literature, and those studying the German language and the culture of Germany.
