German Conversation Opportunities: "German Convo on the Go" (Tuesday, January 14, 4-5 p.m., Burton Tower), "Schokoladenstunde" (Wednesday, January 15, 3-4 p.m., MLB 3110), and "Kreativwerkstatt" (Friday, January 17, 1-2 p.m., MLB 3308)

We have three weekly and informal conversation opportunities for all students who want to speak German:

"German Convo on the Go" meets on Tuesdays at 4 p.m. sharp at Burton Tower for a 1-hour walk and talk with Mary Gell (magell@umich.edu). This event happens 'rain or ice or snow.'

"Schokoladenstunde" convenes on Wednesdays at 3 p.m. in the German Department Lounge (MLB 3110.) There will be some German chocolate to snack on. Silvia Grzeskowiak (sgrzesko@umich.edu) will bring games, and the hour will be spent chatting and playing games in German (e.g. Tabu.)

"Kreativwerkstatt:" Chat in German and express yourself creatively. Crafting, coloring, painting, drawing, knitting, sewing, crochet, embroidery, origami? At the weekly German “Kreativwerkstatt,” which takes place on Fridays at 1 p.m., you will combine speaking German (any level welcome, beginners included!!) and creatively expressing yourself. You are encouraged to bring your own materials or (ongoing) projects, but we will also provide some materials and prompts each week. If you have questions about "Kreativwerkstatt" please contact Laura Okkema (lokkema@umich.edu) or Iris Zapf-Garcia (iriszaga@umich.edu.)
