Philosophy Cafe
Earlier this year, we launched our philosophy cafe with conjunction with the ÖKF. Philosophy cafe is a place, where lovers of free thinking and discourse, discuss daily problems of our lives and ask questions about life and our existence in it. Our philosophy cafe has been a true joy, where participants from various backgrounds and cultures came together to discuss interesting topics.
ÄDK Teaching Diploma
The art of teaching is something we have mastered throughout the long years of working in this field. We do believe that for someone to teach German, he needs more than a good command of the German language.A knowledge into the techniques and art of teaching and its methodologies, are what makes unique teachers distinct.
Culture
We see ourselves as mediators between east and west. Through facilitating cultural projects that allow dialogue between artists and thinkers, clearing misconceptions and misunderstandings often presented by the media.
I know very well the level of quality that ÄDK work with and the level of discipline and enthusiasm our colleagues at ÄDK work with to spread the German language. I also know how much ÄDK has developed successfully throughout the years and no better testimony than its accreditation from the Goethe Institute three times in a row with very positive remarks. If this reflects anything, it reflects the level of quality of education and professionality the management works with.
Johannes Ebert
Generalsekretär des Goethe-Instituts
ÄDK plays an active role with its very high quality German courses, in supporting and spreading the German language in Egypt. The accreditation visits and the reaccreditation showed the high quality in teaching German at ÄDK, the latest one being in 2019. Its a common challenge from the Goethe Institute and ÄDK to answer for the increasing demand on the German language through qualified and highly trained trainers.
