The story of Wilhelm.
Our evening programs are the last big adventure of the day! The program may start with a lesson from German Literatur or Musik, but suddenly it bursts into an epic game of chance, skill and luck. Sometimes it really does take a village to rescue the Prinzessin from an evil sorcerer, locate the pirates' hidden Schatz, or save Wilhelm Tell!
Many games have a historical or global themes and challenge older villagers to think about their actions and what consequences they may have. You may become a diplomat and negotiate Germany's unification. You and your friends could create your own culture or become an Ambassador to another Language Village. You may even find yourself opening the Iron Curtain, knocking down the Berliner Mauer and discuss other walls still to fall in our world.
