UP Deutscher Verein has officially arrived at the fourth station of Deutsche Woche 2026! 🚆

Last April 23, the UP DV premiered the movie “𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀” (𝙎𝙞𝙚𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙚𝙞𝙣) (2024), directed by Soleen Yusef, during Kinoabend. Participants spent the late afternoon watching a film that follows the journey of a young refugee adjusting to life in Germany while navigating friendship, identity, and the challenges of having a new environment. Through this film, participants were given a glimpse into German cinema, culture, and language.

We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to Goethe-Institut Philippinen for providing the film. This event would not be possible without your support. Herzlichen Dank as well to Frau Barbara Pauli for introducing the film and helping the participants better appreciate its cultural and social themes before the screening.

Furthermore, we would also like to thank Herr Kim Wigand for leading the discussion after the film and encouraging participants to share their insights and reflections. Also, thank you to Currywurst Meister for the delicious Brezeln! 🥨🎬

Herzlichen Dank to everyone who watched and participated in Kinoabend! 🫶🎉

UP Deutscher Verein has officially arrived at the third station of Deutsche Woche 2026! 🚆

The UP DV held a symposium titled Wohin führt Deutsch?: Living Links Symposium last April 22. This symposium featured stories, insights, and real experiences that showed how Deutsch opens doors— whether in academics, careers, or global opportunities.

We sincerely thank our invited speakers for sharing their knowledge and experiences with us: Prof. Nina Rachel Agcaoili, Dr. Frances Cruz, Dr. Ramon Guillermo, and Ms. Jermaine Cortez from Learn German PH.

Prof. Nina Rachel Agcaoili shared her personal journey in learning the German language and how it shaped her personal and professional life. Dr. Frances Cruz discussed German in Academia, highlighting how the German language opens up diverse opportunities in academics and research. Dr. Ramon Guillermo emphasized the importance of translation in his talk, and how translation contributes to learning, cultural exchange, and deeper understanding of German texts, ideas, and philosophy. Meanwhile, Ms. Jermaine Cortez shared insights on the skills, certifications, and training needed for employment opportunities in German speaking countries.

Through this symposium, participants were able to gain insights and understanding of the many paths that learning German language and culture can lead to.

Once again, we sincerely extend our deepest appreciation to our speakers for making this event more meaningful for everyone who attended.

Herzlichen Dank as well to everyone who joined our symposium. We hope that the discussions and experiences shared by our speakers inspired you to learn more about the German language and culture! 🫶🎉

UP Deutscher Verein has officially arrived at the second station of Deutsche Woche 2026! 🚆

𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, the UP DV closed the day with Sprachcafé: Kaffee, Kuchen & Karten. Participants were able to learn A0–A1 conversation sentences and vocabulary with the help of Frau Anke Mörsheim from Learn German Ph..

One of the highlights of the session was learning how to order Kuchen and Kaffee in a Café. Participants also got to enjoy the delicious Kuchen and Brezeln from Currywurst Meister while going around the room to practice German vocabulary and sentences using the conversation cards prepared for each table.

The event helped the participants see that learning German is fun and enjoyable, while also creating opportunities for each learner to interact and engage with one other. To make the event even more fun, a raffle was held featuring prizes from Learn German PH.

UP DV would also like to express its gratitude to the Goethe-Institut Philippinen for their support in helping make the Sprachcafé: Kaffee, Kuchen & Karten possible, and to Learn German Ph., especially Frau Anke Mörsheim, for sharing your time and knowledge with our participants. 💛🎉

The morning of April 21 began with the opening of the 𝗘𝘅𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁 and 𝗣𝗼𝗽-𝘂𝗽 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆. The exhibit is filled with fun and bite-sized trivia displays. People could also take a mini tour and trace the footsteps of Jose Rizal’s travels through Germany with the exhibit. 🇩🇪✨

Additionally, we were delighted to welcome the Goethe-Institut Philippinen and their pop-up library, which showcased different German books and interactive games for everyone to enjoy. We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Barbara and Enzo for gracing us with your presence and making the experience even more memorable. 📚💛

UP Deutscher Verein has officially arrived at the first station of Deutsche Woche 2026! 🚆

On April 20, the Embassy and Institutional Visits served as a grounding and meaningful way to open the week. It was a privilege for the members of UP DV to step outside the university and connect genuinely with the German Embassy Manila, the Austrian Embassy Manila, and the Goethe-Institut Philippinen.

The visits provided a wonderful opportunity for UP DV to introduce the organization, discuss upcoming initiatives, and build stronger connections with institutions that nurture the German language and culture just as passionately.

Starting the journey here served as a stark reminder of the organization's core mission: that true cultural engagement goes beyond classroom walls, focusing instead on building real engagements and partnerships that make the world connected.

Herzlichen Dank an die Deutsche Botschaft, die Österreichische Botschaft und das Goethe-Institut Philippinen. UP DV extends its deepest gratitude for the warm welcome, the space to share its vision, and the inspiring exchange of ideas on keeping the love for German language and culture alive.
