Engagement-driven Experiences Berlin Edition
With the following programmes you will have your students engaged as they do the exploring instead of you doing the talking.
Humans Are More Than Numbers - A Personal journey through Sachsenhausen KZ
Follow a real person’s journey into the camp.
Sachsenhausen - Behind Every Story Stands a Human
Sachsenhausen was one of the most significant concentration camps in Nazi Germany, where thousands of people were imprisoned, tortured, and murdered. This tour differs from traditional tours by focusing on the individual fates behind the cold numbers and statistics. Rather than simply observing, you will delve deep into the personal stories of the people who lived and died here.
What It Involves
Each group is assigned the story of a specific person—a former prisoner at Sachsenhausen. Your task is to bring these life stories to light so we can remember them as individuals. Additionally, each group will be responsible for exploring a specific area of the camp, such as the hospital, the entrance, or the Jewish section. This linking of personal stories with physical locations will give you a deeper understanding of the conditions and experiences the prisoners faced.
At the end of the tour, groups will share their discoveries and reflections so that together we can honor the people who were reduced to numbers but who had lives, dreams, and hopes.
Impact
This group work will not only serve as a reflection on the past but also a reminder of the importance of humanity and compassion in a time when they were absent.
By zooming in on the small stories, we enhance our understanding of the broader historical perspective. This experience will sharpen your students' personal interest in learning.
Duration: 2.5 hours
Price: 24.00 Euros per person based on a group of at least 20 people

Experience life in the DDR - "A city, two tales — Berlin during the Wall
Stories of division, escape, and life in a divided Germany.
The Berlin Wall
Experience Berlin’s deep, complex history shaped by the shadow of the Wall. This tour dives into personal stories of division and hope that defined life in a divided Germany. The Wall was more than a physical barrier; it became a symbol of the many lives and dreams that were shattered and torn apart.
Bernauer Straße is a significant street in Berlin that stands as a powerful symbol of the city’s Cold War division. A large section of the old Wall still stands here, making it easy to imagine what life was like behind the barrier. The street is full of historical traces that tell of numerous escape attempts and the tragic family separations that occurred under the Wall’s regime.
What It Involves
You will be divided into eight groups, each focusing on a specific aspect of the Wall’s impact — for example, divided families, Stasi surveillance, secret escape routes, or the story of Schumann’s iconic leap. Your task is to explore these topics and bring the human stories behind them to life.
By sharing personal experiences and reflections from the past, you will gain a deeper understanding of the emotional cost of the Wall’s construction and fall. You will also discover how hope and courage drove people to fight for freedom and reunification.
After your investigations, you will present your findings to the rest of the group and create a collective reflection on the significance of these momentous stories.
Impact
The mission of this tour is to show that stories from the past are not only instructive but also relevant today. Although the physical barriers have been removed, the memories remain. In a time when the world is still divided in many ways, it is important to understand what happened back then so we can find inspiration to bridge today’s divides.

Sustainable Berlin
How to solve the climate crisis - German style
Sustainable Berlin - Help solve the Climate crisis
Berlin tackles the climate crisis through ambitious emissions targets, expanding public transit and cycling infrastructure, and accelerating building retrofits and renewable energy projects. The city promotes heat‑resilient green spaces, urban gardening and flood‑adaptation measures, while supporting low‑emission zones and e‑mobility.

What It Involves
We’ve created a city game where teams travel around Berlin solving tasks and answering questions to discover local problems and uncover practical solutions. Each group receives a specific theme—transport, housing, climate, social integration, etc.—and follows clues to sites, interviews locals, and completes challenges that reveal causes and possible fixes. The format combines exploration, real-world learning and friendly competition, ending with team presentations of proposed solutions and insights.

On this tour you’ll hike through overgrown trails and past graffiti-covered ruins to reach the radar domes, where your guide explains the site’s layered history: the Allied interception station, the post‑Wall countercultural takeover, and the ongoing debates about preservation versus redevelopment.

Walk the Wall
Walk on where the Wall used to be
Walk the Wall - Follow the wall without straying your path
On August 13, 1961, East Germany sealed off West Berlin with concrete walls, barbed wire and watchtowers to stop people fleeing to the West. The Berlin Wall became the Cold War’s starkest symbol of division, splitting families and neighborhoods and costing many lives in escape attempts. Growing protests and the erosion of Soviet power led to its opening on November 9, 1989, accelerating reunification. Today its remnants and memorials remind us of separation, resistance and the fight for freedom.
What It Involves
The Berlin Wall Trail traces the course of the former GDR border fortifications encircling West Berlin, the former western half of the city, along a total of around 160 kilometers. In most sections, this hiking and bike trail runs along the former patrol road used by customs officers in West Berlin or along the border control road used by GDR border troops for their own patrols. Sections of historic interest, with traces or remains of the old Wall, alternate with stretches of natural beauty that underscore the country’s good fortune in regaining its unity.
Lets go for a unique hike out of Berlin walking exactly where the Wall used to run. Learn about history, unique biodiversity and obstacles - walk places where few people step today. No matter we wont stray from our path.
Purpose
This is an amazing way to discover a city formerly divided, now united by seeing what has arisen where the wall once stood.

War - What is it good for? Absolutely nothing
Experience the transformation from war to peace
Germany - From war mongerer to pacifist nation
Germany, under Nazi rule from 1933, launched World War II in 1939 with invasions across Europe. The regime pursued aggressive expansion, racial ideology and genocidal policies, culminating in the Holocaust—the systematic murder of six million Jews and millions of other victims. The war brought vast destruction across Europe and ended in Germany’s unconditional surrender in May 1945. Postwar, Germany was occupied, divided and later rebuilt; confronting the legacy of Nazism and the war has profoundly shaped its politics, memory culture and commitment to democracy and human rights.
What It Involves
We split the group into four teams—England, Germany, USA and Russia—each given background briefs and scenario packets. Teams must make policy decisions, negotiate and respond to unfolding events based on their assigned national perspectives. The fast‑paced simulation highlights trade‑offs, miscommunication and escalation dynamics, offering an insightful, hands‑on way to understand how wars can start and how hard prevention and de‑escalation really are.
Purpose
The exercise reveals the mechanisms behind decision‑making: historical legacies, popular will, competing objectives and shifting alliances. Fast‑paced and reflective, it highlights trade‑offs, misperceptions and escalation dynamics to deepen understanding of how conflicts begin and how prevention requires difficult, often imperfect choices.

Shadows over Berlin: A Walk in the Footsteps of Memory
How does Germany confront its past? This 1.5‑hour walking tour through Berlin’s historic centre explores how the nation remembers Nazism and the Holocaust — and how remembrance, responsibility and education work to prevent repetition.
What It Involves
We begin at the Reichstag, a building that embodies both democracy and dictatorship, then visit memorials including the one for murdered Sinti and Roma and the memorial to persecuted homosexuals, highlighting groups whose suffering was long overlooked. Along the route you’ll encounter Stolpersteine — small brass plaques in the pavement commemorating individual victims — and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, whose stark architecture invites deep reflection. The tour ends at the site of Hitler’s former bunker, where the deliberate absence of a grand monument speaks to a careful public choice about how to treat this past.
Purpose
Today more than ever, we need to remmeber our past. Germany is one of the countries with most memorials and dedicated work to unearth the past as well as preserving its memory.
