A range of events under the European Intercultural Festival aimed at promoting knowledge about the EU and the Eastern Partnership countries started with the German Language class organised by the Youth Education Centre FIALTA, one of the partners of the European Intercultural Festival in Minsk.
Three volunteers from Germany Thomas Bergmann, Victor Moster, and Elise Schmitt guided regular guests of the organisation as well as newcomers, through basic rules of communication in German.
According to Victor Moster, students enjoyed different games, songs and even a quiz during the class. All takes were related to the European topic of the festival.
The beginners’ group left Fialta after 90 interesting minutes with some basic knowledge of the German language. Greeting someone in German or asking for his name or age should now not be a problem, Victor believes.
