The students also visited the East Side Gallery, which is the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall. The gallery features more than 100 murals painted by artists from around the world. The students were able to see the artwork up close and learn about the messages behind the murals. They also visited the beautiful Gedächtniskirche, which was partially destroyed during World War II but still stands as a testament to the resilience of the German people. The Tiergarten and Siegessäule provided an opportunity for the students to enjoy the natural beauty of Berlin, as well as to learn about the city's history. In the Alexanderplatz, a bustling square and a hub of activity in the heart of the city, the students were able to see the iconic TV Tower (Fernsehturm). The students also visited the prestigious Humboldt University to experience the academic culture of Berlin. They saw the Käthe Kollwitz statue, which is dedicated to the famous German artist, and the Weltuhr, a world clock that displays the time in every time zone around the globe.
The group took numerous U and S Bahns crisscrossing the city and walked over 60,000 steps during their three-day visit. The experience was amazing and unforgettable, and the students learned a lot about the culture, spoke a lot of German, and saw a great deal linked with their A Level studies of Germany, Berlin and the studied film, Goodbye, Lenin .
