Germany and the European Union are the focus of a two-week series hosted at Central Washington University from November 6-17. The events will focus on informing, debating, and discovering opportunities in and about Europe.

“Germany, the European Union, and the future of the EU, have gained considerable attention in recent years, so we’re extremely pleased to be able to bring these events to Central,” said event coordinator and CWU Political Science faculty member Eugen Nagy.

On November 9 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Student Union and Recreation Center (SURC) Ballroom, both the CWU and the local community are invited to attend the “Opportunities in Germany and the European Union” fair, to meet and network with organizations offering opportunities to learn, do, live—in the European Union.

“The fair is a unique chance to discover a variety of opportunities to study, do internships, cooperate, network, visit, and simply learn about Germany and the countries of the European Union,” Nagy explained. He noted that the fair is open to all, including students, faculty, local schools, non-profits, and the entire local community.

Additionally, participants are invited to attend a film festival with screenings on November 7, 8, 14 and 15 at 7:00 p.m. in Lind Hall 104, as well as a roundtable discussion on the future of the EU, featuring prominent EU speakers, which will be held on November 16 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the Science II Planetarium.

All of the events are made possible through a generous grant from the German Information Center USA (through the Germany: Making Choices program), and with the support of CWU’s William O. Douglas Honors College. The events are also sponsored by CWU’s Department of Political Science, World Languages and Cultures Department, Film Program, and the Office of International Studies and Programs.
