Gemeinsam für morgen!

Bürgerfest zum Tag der Deutschen Einheit 2025 in Saarbrücken - die Uni war dabei, das Sprachenzentrum auch!

Vom Leiter bis zum Team der Sprachprogrammverantwortlichen: Wir waren mit unserem Publikumsmagneten vor Ort – dem Glücksrad! Beim Sprachenquiz war die Begeisterung groß: Jung und Alt machten mit und freuten sich über kleine Preise.

Ein weiteres Highlight: unsere Button-Aktion!

Die Frage „Wie viele Sprachen sprichst du?“ kam super an und brachte Menschen ganz unkompliziert ins Gespräch – über Sprachen, Mehrsprachigkeit und kulturelle Vielfalt.

Viele neugierige Besucherinnen und Besucher, tolle Gespräche und Freude pur: Für uns war der Tag ein voller Erfolg. Danke an alle, die vorbeigeschaut haben!
