Le programme culturel pour nos élèves
À côté des cours de langues efficaces dans des petits groupes, l'offre culturelle et sociale de IH Berlin PROLOG constitue un autre point important proposé par l'école.
Des sorties et des excursions sont régulièrement organisées au minimum quatre fois par semaine minimum. Des visites et des rendez-vous entre les élèves sont proposés, et la culture allemande avec ses spécificités sera abordée à côté de la langue allemande.
Toutes les sorties culturelles sont gratuites (à l'exception de certaines entrées) et sont accompagnées par des membres de l'école. De plus, les sorties culturelles actuelles sont résumées en anglais.
Nos actuelles sorties culturelles:

DDR Museum
The DDR museum is one of the most popular museums in Berlin. The exhibition is not only about the Stasi and the Wall, but you also get a glimpse into life in the GDR. The museum gives you a real “hands-on” historical experience. For example, you can see a model of a East German housing estate. Next door you can open up and explore drawers and cabinets with typical East German products and learn a lot more about daily life in the GDR.
Length: about 2 hours
Meeting point: at 11:00 and 2:00 in front of PROLOG

Dresden
The historical centre of Dresden is found on the left bank of the River Elbe.
Even today, the character and face of the city are shaped by buildings from the Renaissance, Baroque and 19th Century periods. Wherever you view the city from, whether the river banks or one of the numerous bridges, it is clear that Dresden is a cultural centre of Europe-wide importance.
Despite the heavy bombing damage inflicted on the city during the Second World War, the old town has managed to retain or reconstruct much of its classical architectural treasures. The reconstruction of the city centre is symbolised by the successfully rebuilt Dresdner Frauenkirche, with its magnificent Baroque dome - an instantly recognisable feature of Dresden’s centre.
There are a large number of cultural institutions along the river bank on the old town side of the Elbe: from the Old Master’s Art Gallery to the Grüne Gewölbe, the treasure vaults of the Saxon Kings and Electors.
The old centre is still a lively city centre and around the Altmarkt (Old Market) and Prager Straße you can find numerous shopping centres, restaurants, cafes and bars.
Length: 10-12 hours
Meeting point: at 9.15, Berliner Hauptbahnhof at the exit to the Kanzleramt (on the Spree) (Info: RE 38347 Direction Elsterwerda; departure 9.26; Platform 3)

In the years between 1939 and 1945, 132,000 women and children, 20, 00 men and 1,000 young women from the “Jugendschutzlagers Uckermark” were registered as prisoners. People from more than 40 countries were deported to Ravensbrück, amongst them many thousands of Jews, Zinti and Roma. Tens of thousands were murdered, died of starvation, illness or as a direct result of medical experimentation. The Nazis established a systematic programme of murder, called “14 f 13”, the primary aim of which was to murder Jewish women. Between February and April 1945 alone, in a purpose-built gas chamber, up to 6000 prisoners were murdered. Just before the end of the Second World War, with the help of the Swedish, Danish and International Red Cross, approximately 7,500 prisoners were evacuated to Switzerland and Sweden.
