German Cultural Events

Every year, the German Studies Section features a series of events, such as film viewings, guest lectures, student activities, and musical performances.
German Immersion Weekend at Mont Saint-Hilaire
In collaboration with the Department of German Studies at McGill University, a group of intermediate and advanced Bishop's students spend a weekend at McGill's Gault Estate in Mont Saint-Hilaire. The purpose of this event is to practice German in a casual environment during a weekend full of fun, games, music, drinks, and food. Join in the fun!
