Kibbutzim College students from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences visit the Museum of Contemporary Art-ZKM voted as one of the top 10 museums in the world. They also are treated to a generous sampling of products at the Hoepfner brewery while receiving an explanation of how beer is brewed. Two highlights of the trip are the Tree Top Walk in the Black Forest and a day trip to Heidelberg. Students also have the opportunity to visit Gutenbergschule comprehensive school, and the Europaschule primary school. In both schools they have the opportunity to observe lessons and interact with pupils and staff. An illuminating day is spent on campus observing lessons in the English Department, interacting with students and touring the campus. In the evenings, students meet with peers from Karlsruhe University of Education to experience nightlife in the city, forge relationships and further develop the collaboration between the two institutions. The delegation is an uplifting educational and cultural experience and a resounding success.
