Students learn about the history of Bavaria and important events and about the historical and cultural connections between Bavaria and Poland. They learn about Polish painters who studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts in the 19th century and about places in Bavaria and Munich which are connected to them. It acquires cultural knowledge, but also acquires the social competence to talk about Bavaria and its history and culture in a broad European context.
The seminar is intended for both art enthusiasts and people for whom the subject is completely new, both those who are familiar with Bavaria and Germany and those who have never been there, as in the seminar form we will complement and enrich each other's knowledge of the subject.
