During the first four weeks, you will be asked along with four or five other students to choose one "site" in Berlin on which you would like to work. We will try to set up groups that contain at least one German speaker and one person with more technical web experience: this will allow us to help each other and pool our expertise. Because a respectful, enthusiastic and playful "group" feeling will be essential to the success of a trip, you will be encouraged early on to get to know your fellow students as intellectual partners.

The suggested sites are:
1) Bismarck memorials
2) Straße des 17. Juni
3) Holocaust Memorials
4) Peter Fechter memorial
5) Marx Engels Platz
6) Soviet Memorials
7) East Berlin night clubs
8) Artists on/in Berlin
If you have another site in mind, please see me about it first.
