In-house Classes

Twice a year - that is four times during the two-year program - one-week in-house classes offer the welcome opportunity to meet face to face. These seminars include lectures, teamwork, presentations, discussions, simulation games, and excursions. These pictures might give you some impression. Besides teaching selected modules, the in-house classes usually come up with a reception by one of the program’s sponsors, an excursion e.g. to the Reichstag or an institution with East European concern, an expert lecture or the like.

The in-house classes are usually scheduled for the beginning of October and the beginning of March. They generally start on Sunday evening and last till Friday.

In-house classes take place in Berlin. In Germany's capital you find not only the federal government but also all kind of non-governmental organizations, many of them with East European concerns and priorities. The East European migrants' scene is vibrant. Take your time to explore Berlin before or after the in-house classes!

Students have to register at Freie Universität Berlin during the first in-house classes. They must present the original of their university diploma as well as a certified translation where required (will be handed back after being checked). They should also prove that they are covered by health insurance.

Each module will be treated at least once during the in-house classes. Thus, instructors and students get a chance to meet personally. What is even more important: students get to know each other. Though electronic contact is frequent among students, instructors and program team, face-to-face communication is a welcomed change.

For the periods of on-site instruction students have to come to Berlin. They have to cover travelling and staying expenses on their own. Here is some information on accommodation in Berlin.

According to the Berlin law on educational holiday (Berliner Bildungsurlaubsgesetz) professional training offered by universities is considered as recognized ("gilt als anerkannt") as educational holiday ("Bildungsurlaub"). Thus, our in-house classes can be classified as educational holiday.
