An Excellent Experience

by: Caterina Cavaliere - United StatesProgram: Internship in Halle, Germany (Refugees & Migrants)

After three months at the Excellence Center, I cannot recommend this experience enough to others who are interested in participating. Nurtured by the welcoming team that is always eager to help you, or by the beautiful architecture that surrounds you in the charming city of Halle, the Excellence Center is a special place. I will start by saying that I came to Germany with little no knowledge of German. My teacher, Muaz, helped me so much and was extremely patient as I stumbled through learning a...

I spent a month interning at the Excellence Center in Halle during July 2023. During this time I studied Arabic, taught English, and had the chance to get to know several people/families who came to Germany as refugees. My time at the Excellence Center was a positive experience, in which I had the chance to both learn from my peers and help others as an English teacher. The workload was extremely manageable, as it is a flexible environment where you can plan lessons on your own both in terms...

My name is Antoine, I was a volunteer at the Excellence Center in Halle for 3 months from mid April to mid July of 2023. I completed the 3 month internship program in teaching English and learning German. During this time I completed around 60 hours of German lessons and taught 5 different students at the centre. The German lessons were altogether very intensive and helped me greatly as a beginner in German to improve greatly over a short period of time with my brilliant German teacher Muaz. ...

As an aspiring International lawyer, I have always been looking for chances to go abroad to widen my perspective and engage with new people. I wanted to use the summer break the best I can, and wanted to step out of my comfort zone. I am familiar with the culture of south and east Asia, so I was targeting Europe, a continent that I didn’t have much information about. I was delighted when I found out that the internship was located in Germany, a country I have never been to. I was also excited because I have many friends in university who are Germans, and also because I had just recently started learning the German language. I thought it was a good fit for my interests, so I decided to go abroad for the summer.
