Lectures by the Lake

Discover a new horizon of learning through lectures by the Lake at the Berzdorf Lakeside, where we redefine education beyond the confines of traditional classrooms. Our unique program encourages students to immerse themselves in the beauty of Lake Berzdorf, creating an environment that promotes both scholarly and personal development. The curriculum is infused with elements of nature, providing a hands-on learning experience that harmonizes with the lakeside setting. Lectures are held outdoors, allowing the soothing lake ambiance to enhance the learning experience. Our approach to education is holistic, focusing on the enrichment of the mind, body, and spirit through a blend of academic learning and wellness activities. We invite you to join our Lectures by the Lake Berzdorf, where an educational journey awaits you, nestled in the peaceful embrace of nature.

Blended Learning - Quality Time On Site

Personal discussions and interaction are most valuable. We don't waste time with theoretical basics, hence I apply the blended learning concept and combine online and in person seminars.

Online

Every seminar starts with a short online course, where the topic will be introduced and basic knowledge will be provided, which we need during the seminar in Tauchritz.
Seminar in Tauchritz

During the seminar on-site, we want to focus on the interpersonal discussions, brainstorming, and activities at the lake and in the surrounding nature.
Online

After the seminar, the results will be summarized and reflected in an online session. Notes and material from the workshop will be provided. With this blended learning technique, a deeper learning experience is achieved.
