Course Catalog Description:
How has Germany responded to the grand challenge of climate-change? In what ways are perspectives on climate change & sustainability reflected in everyday culture? This course is designed for students to seek answers to these questions by experiencing life in Germany first-hand. During the first part of the course, you will review concepts & vocabulary related to climate change & sustainability, learn about the stages of intercultural development, reflect on your own cultural identity, practice conversational speaking in German, & prepare to immerse yourself in a foreign country. In May, you will apply what you learned as you travel to Freiburg & Munich. There you will see innovative technologies developed to lower CO2 emissions & talk with students, teachers, & business owners to learn about green communities that promote sustainable living. Finally, you will reflect on your own intercultural development as well as how approaches in Germany to climate change differ or are similar to those in your own country. prereq: Ger 3011 or equivalent; may be concurrently enrolled in 3011
