Pune has a long history of precense of German culture. So lets discover it ... !
As a part of the DP Language B excursion day,
German B students from DP 1 and MYP 5 will be searching together with German learners from the Modern College for "German traces in Pune."
After meeting in school, the students will drive with a school transport to the Mercedes Benz plant in Chakan.They will have time to interview a representative on their excursion topic. The school bus will then drop the students on the half of the way to the city centre, from where they will have to discover in groups further traces and document them with pictures. Ideas will be provided by the teacher and the students can meet interview partners at the Max Mueller Bhavan and DAAD office in Pune during a certain time frame.
All groups will be meeting with the Language B French students in Flags (Sasson road) to try typical German dishes.
The results will be presented and displayed during the week.
Tuesday, 15th of June - Thursday, 24th of June
Because of the high interest from many of the Language B German students from PYP to DP, in the Fifa World Cup 2010, the German room will be changed into the maybe only "German World Cup studio" in India. Lessons and projects until the end of the school year will focus on the one of the biggest international sport event of the world - of course with but not from a German perspective.
Visitors and fans are invited anytime ...
