Selected Events 2006

November 10/12, 2006.
With support from the U.S. Consulate Public Affairs Section the Bavarian Academy for Teacher Training in Dillingen an der Donau carried out a 3-day teacher conference.
150 Bavarian teachers of English learned about "Teaching American Cultures in the 21st Century - Current Trends and Future Directions." The seminar used lectures and workshops to focus on the latest trends in U.S. literature, youth culture, visual arts, minorities, and how best to teach these topics. Professor Frank Couvares of Amherst College talked about American popular culture and multiculturalism; and American performance artist Janice Perry presented her one-woman show about religious myth and the experiences of an American in Germany.
