Amazing cultural event of the Institute of Germanic Studies
The annually recurring cultural event, „Kulturwoche”, organised by the Institute of Germanic Studies, Faculty of Humanities, was held this year between the 11th and 15th of November. During the five days, students and other guests had the opportunity to participate in thirty different events held in six languages.

The Department of German Studies provided an interesting variety of different programmes to its visitors in the topics of German literature and linguistics. Famous Hungarian writers and poets belonging to the German minority presented excerpts from their latest works. Furthermore, the Deutsche Bühne Ungarn (German Theatre of Hungary) performed poems from the well known poet, Valeria Koch. Additionally, an exhibition showed the historical development of writing, printing and digital data analysis, while several presentations discussed current important questions in linguistic and didactic topics in German language teaching.

The Department of Scandinavian Studies offered a great variety of interesting lectures and other programmes. A group of students installed a professional escape room in a classroom, and set up exhibitions on Scandinavian history and literature in the corridor. Special talks were given on the history of Danish comics, postmodern literary fiction, Scandinavian metal music and different linguistic topics.

Beside the lecturers of the Institute of Germanic Studies, several visiting professors from partner universities, as well as poets, actors, literary translators, publishers and representatives of various cultural institutes and enterprises presented at the event.

The professors of the Institute and visiting lecturers provided the guests with a unique and special event, which was, amongst others, facilitated by the support of the events’ sponsors. The Institute of Germanic Studies would like to thank all participants, professors, students, and sponsoring organizations (Embassy of Germany in Budapest, BP Global Business Services, Klett Verlag, VUdAK Verband) who made it possible to arrange a highly professional and interesting programme.
