All prospective students planning to study in Germany need to prove their language skills. TANDEM Cologne is an official examination centre for all telc-exams, and also, since the beginning of 2016, for TestDaF-exams.
On a Friday night, a handful of language teachers decided to go to an escape room. You have never heard about that? An escape room is an adventure game in which players are locked in a room to solve a series of puzzles and escape within a set time limit. This is said to improve team working and communication skills. We wanted to try it!
Our Cultural Programme, which takes place three times a week in summer, also included some of those events and activities not to be missed in a good Cologne summer. Among them were barbecue parties and picnics in the park, visits to the open air cinema by the river Rhine and to the rooftop of the Cologne Cathedral, and our popular walking tours of Cologne.
