Do you enjoy reading and talking about literature? Then join our weekly meeting of bookworms! Bring your book, your ideas and your questions! Newcomers are always welcome! Long Walk to Freedom is an autobiography credited to South African President Nelson Mandela, but ghostwritten by Richard Stengel and first published in 1994. The novel profiles Mandela’s early life, coming of age, education and 27 years spent in prison. Jailed as terrorist and leader of the then outlawed African National Congress, he later achieved international recognition as President in rebuilding the country’s segregationist society.

Come along and join our new discussion group at vhs club INTERNATIONAL! A short introductory presentation will offer insight into select issues and current topics in US society and culture – ranging from well-known historical figures to contemporary popular culture and political events.The following discussion will offer a great and fun way not only to practice your English language skills on an advanced level, but also to exchange ideas, and to learn about different perspectives. Everyone is welcome. You don’t have to be an expert on the US, just bring an open mind and plenty of questions! U.S. military families are often featured prominently at political events, in campaign speeches, and in contemporary popular culture. They can act as “unofficial ambassadors” abroad and have contributed to U.S. war efforts at the home front. We will discuss recent representations of military families in political discourse and in (popular) culture with an eye to their various forms, functions, and effects.

These workshops are offered in English. Since the four dates of the workshop build on each other, it makes sense to attend all dates. When you leave your home country to start a new life in a new culture that has a different language, values and many other things that characterise your home environment, it is perfectly normal if you start reflecting on who you really are, what you want and to start questioning things, both what is happening around you and within you. This course is ideal for women with this kind of background. By understanding yourself better, you gain greater control over your own behaviour, thoughts and emotions. Why do you do what you do? Why do you act and react in a certain way? How does stress affect you? These are questions that will be covered in the workshops. In Kooperation mit dem Frauenzentrum Erlangen
