Registration for Sommercollege starts
Summer is coming! And to coincide with the summer temperatures, registration is now open for our new free Sommercollege courses for all newly arrived secondary school students!
As part of the project Jugendcollege StartWien, the Sommercollege offers Viennese secondary school students (15-25 years old & no more than 5-6 years in Austria) the opportunity to improve their German for school during the summer holidays in 2 course groups ("Early Bird": 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. & "Late Riser": 12 p.m. - 3 p.m.) between July 29 and August 14, 2024. In addition to dealing with school text types, reading and writing, the program also focuses on enjoying the language and making new friends.
All information about the offer and registration can be found in the Sommercollege info sheet – please pass it on and share! We are already looking forward to a productive summer!
