Multiculturalism in Germany
“Das Land, das die Fremden nicht beschützt, geht bald unter: Ausländer in deutschprachigen Ländern.” As more and more immigrants take up residence in Germany and Austria, they affect the face of the culture and bring some of their homeland with them. For the 32nd annual German Day at Washington University, we invite you to explore the ideas of immigration and multiculturalism in German speaking countries in the 21st century.

Es gibt nichts Schöneres auf der Welt als den Fussball: Fussball in deutchsprachigen Ländern
The 31st Annual German Day looked at the sport nearest and dearest the German heart: soccer! Students were invited to look at the game of soccer, the Fussballers, the fans, and to see this sport as a connection not only between all German speaking countries but between Germany and the world.
