Germany\u00a0 \"\"<\/h2>\n

Willkommen! Germany has long been called the land of Dichter und Denker \u2013 poets and thinkers. However, contemporary Germany is also the land for travelers and explorers seeking multicultural and dynamic cities, bucolic villages, and pristine nature. Race bikes along a Nazi-era airport tarmac in Berlin, travel by solar-powered ferry across an Alpine lake, watch the wind turbines and half-timbered houses whiz by through the window of a high-speed train as part of your German adventure. Get an up-close view of Germany that goes beyond Sauerkraut and Bratwurst.<\/p>\n

Custom programs in Germany are ideal not just for German language teachers but also educators in history, STEM, government\/civics, and the fine arts.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Walking Tree Travel has developed tools that will help our travelers mature as global leaders before, during, and after their travel program. These simple, engaging activities are meant to spark discussion, frame the group\u2019s experience, and prepare participants to travel ethically and effectively on our programs now and on their own into the future. Our activities also encourage students to take initiative as leaders in their local communities to make a difference at an immediate level, helping them to understand the impact they can have when they combine cultural understanding with personal and social responsibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>
