The Fall 2011 New Europe Program posing for the camera in front of the Reichstag.
The New Europe Program embarked on their second and final long excursion to the beautiful cities of Berlin and Prague. From October 29 to November 4 the students enjoyed themselves learning the amazing history Berlin had to offer and explored the wonders of Eastern Europe. Berlin was beautiful; the students saw the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, the Berlin Cathedral, they visited The Reichstag, and were able to experience the Hohenschönhausen Prison and Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. They were divided into four groups on “My Berlin" day: GDR, Cold War, Urban Art, and Multicultural. They were able to explore Berlin on their own, and gave a presentation on what they learned. Their trip to Prague was exciting. They were all in Eastern Europe, which was different, and definitely a new experience. They began with a tour of the central part of the city, and later that evening watched La Bohčme Opera. The next day they had a guided tour of Prague where they saw most of the city, and enjoyed a delicious cup of hot cocoa, and later that evening they enjoyed a group dinner. The excursion was really an exciting experience, and the AIB was successful in making this trip memorable for the students.
