A Spy for a Day: Trip to the Stasi Museum in Berlin

The spring academic excursions, during which it’s possible to get out of class and combine a trip to the museum with a nice street walk around the city, are my favorite part of the curriculum.

Hands in Charcoal: Lifting the Veil of Art Garage

Piles of thick books with key texts in world philosophical thought, numerous handouts with colorful underscores, essay drafts and Berlin event guides are a common decoration of the ECLA of Bard student’s writing desk.

The Extraordinary Easter Adventure with an Apple and an Egg

Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Prague… A 10-day spring break in the beginning of April gave ECLA of Bard students the time to explore the nearby European capitals.

Going Green: St. Patrick’s Day in Berlin

On the 17th of March, Berlin turned green for the third time: since 2011, people armed with glasses of Guinness and dressed like Irish Leprechauns disregard the freezing cold and hit the streets to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
