"I liked that the program was organized, along with supplemental lessons such as the German Language session, Hamburg musical history, linguistic practice, and scientific practices. It was interesting to learn the particle physics realm as a physics undergraduate, and the lecturers and organizers were also accommodating to their students in terms of the activities altogether."

Language Diversity 2021
"Despite a virtual get-together, I was still able to explore different perspectives of language diversity with participants from different parts of the world, to negotiate understanding through interaction of the key importance of language diversity as an opportunity rather than a problem in social, cultural, and educational life, and to develop attitudes, skills and knowledge necessary for living in linguistically diverse societies."
