Filmemacherin Elizabeth Ai hat sich zur Mission gemacht, eine bislang unerzählte Geschichte über junge Geflüchtete aus Vietnam aufzudecken, die als Pioniere im Kalifornien der 1980er Jahre eine neue Diaspora-Musikszene begründeten – der selbsternannten »NEW WAVE«. Weltweit erfasste die kulturelle Gegenbewegung junge Vietnames*innen wie im Sturm und wurde zu einem Zufluchtsort für identitätssuchende Teenager. Die schwungvollen Euro-Synth-Dance-Beats und die Punk/Goth-Ästhetik überdeckten tiefe Traumata, zerbrochene Träume und unerfüllte Erwartungen, von denen die Vietnamesische Community bis heute stark geprägt ist. Während die Filmemacherin in das Leben von Ikonen der New-Wave-Szene und ihren Familienmitgliedern eintaucht, entdeckt sie weit mehr als nur Musik und Mode, sondern auch verschüttete Wahrheiten ihrer eigenen Vergangenheit.
»NEW WAVE« ist ein Dokumentarfilm, der die eigene Neuerfindung und Wiedergeburt einer ganzen Generation feiert, die nach einer Flucht aus Vietnam aufgrund von Krieg und politischer Unterdrückung in einem kulturellen Niemandsland schwebte und gezwungen war, fernab der Heimat ein neues Zuhause aufzubauen. Er zeigt auch, wie Musik, Mode und Rebellion eine Kraft der Heilung sein können, und wird dadurch zu einem sehr persönlichen Liebesbrief an die erste Generation vietnamesischer Punks und Rebellen. – »NEW WAVE« hatte 2024 seine Premiere beim TRIBECA Filmfestival, wo Elizabeth Ai den “Special Jury Award for Best New Documentary Director” gewann.

In May 1926 Britain’s miners walked out and, in a move of solidarity, workers from other industries join them; it was the first ever general strike in Britain. Many of the newspapers stop printing, so there were few means of communication between authorities and the populace. But the British Broadcasting Company, forerunner to the BBC, saw radio as an immediate and versatile medium in the chaos of the strike.
In NEAT’s Live Radio Play, the BBC chooses to broadcast George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion to offer its audience sophisticated entertainment during the strike. In addition to the play, they will report news of the strike and offer contemporary live music from the time to mark the 100th anniversary of this event.
PYGMALION ON STRIKE is based on George Bernard Shaw’s romance Pygmalian and adapted to be performed as a live radio play.

„In God We Trust“ lautet das Motto der USA. Obwohl die USA offiziell ein säkularer Staat sind, spielt Religion dennoch eine große Rolle, insbesondere in der Politik. Gerade in Wahljahren wird deutlich, wie stark religiöse Themen und Akteure in politische Prozesse eingebunden sind.
In seinem Vortrag untersucht Prof. Dr. Benjamin Dahlke die Rolle der Religion im Kontext der US-Zwischenwahlen 2026 und analysiert, wie verschiedene Religionen die Wahl beeinflussen und welche Rolle sie im Wahlprozess spielen. Auf diese Weise bietet der Vortrag einen fundierten Einblick in die amerikanische Demokratie.

250 Jahre alt und in der schwersten Krise ihrer Geschichte: Die USA gelten als Mutterland der modernen Demokratie – doch seit Donald Trump zentrale Verfassungsbestimmungen missachtet, stehen ihre Grundprinzipien auf dem Spiel. Was 1776 mit der Unabhängigkeitserklärung der 13 nordamerikanischen Kolonien als Versprechen einer besseren Welt begann und zum – nicht unumstrittenen – Maßstab für Demokratien weltweit wurde, scheint heute zu erodieren. Wie gefährdet ist die amerikanische Demokratie wirklich – und was bedeutet ihr Wanken für Deutschland und Europa?

With the 2026 U.S. midterm elections approaching, American politics has never been more relevant — or more complex to discuss in the classroom. This teacher training provides a comprehensive overview of the structures, processes, and political dynamics that shape both the U.S. political system and an election cycle that will influence the country’s direction for years to come.
Participants will explore the foundations of American government, before diving into the mechanics and significance of midterm elections. What role do midterms play in the U.S. political system? Which issues and candidates are shaping the 2026 races? And what do these elections mean in today’s highly polarized political climate?
The program combines substantive background knowledge with an analysis of the current political landscape, offering a nuanced understanding of where American democracy stands today. A valuable opportunity for teachers to update their knowledge on the topic and take fresh insights and perspectives straight back to their classrooms.

The Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film (ITFS) is one of the largest and most important festivals for artistic animated film worldwide. From May 5 to 10, the festival celebrates animation in all its forms with competitions, curated film programs, workshops, talks, and free open-air screenings. As part of the festival, the DAZ once again offers a special school program. If you register through the DAZ, you have the opportunity to participate with your class for free.
In this workshop, animators Andy and Carolyn London share insights into their creative process using clips from their films, with a special focus on one of the essential elements of cinematic storytelling: sound and music. Music is one of the most powerful storytelling tools in film and animation. The right song can instantly summon a memory, transport an audience to a specific time and place, and set a mood in moments. In this workshop, we’ll break down how we’ve used music and sound to shape emotion, sharpen story, and elevate our own films. Participants will also learn how music and sound design can be used in all kinds of creative projects.

Are you preparing for the English Abitur in Baden-Württemberg? This online lecture is designed to support students tackling the exam topic On the Move – Migration and Cross-Cultural Encounters.
The presentation takes a global perspective on migration, examining the barriers migrants face as they cross linguistic, cultural, and societal boundaries. Using examples from the short stories and the film on the Abitur topic, we will explore how individuals navigate language challenges and cultural misunderstandings as they adapt to new environments.
Beyond personal experiences, we will also discuss institutional barriers created by government policies, with a focus on current political developments in the U.S. and their impact on migration. Students will gain insight into global migration patterns and the systemic challenges that shape migrant experiences across different regions and political contexts.
During the interactive Q&A session, students have the opportunity to clarify questions about the topic and discuss exam-relevant issues. Teachers are welcome to attend and recommend this digital event to their students as Abitur preparation.

For decades, the strong partnership between the United States and Europe has been built on shared values and mutual trust. Yet, in a time marked by geopolitical tensions, ongoing conflicts, and growing debates about the future of international cooperation and multilateralism, the transatlantic relationship faces both renewed expectations as well as new uncertainties.
How are political developments in Washington, Brussels, and Berlin reshaping the alliance? What role will security and trade play in defining the next chapter of transatlantic ties? And how can we navigate disagreements while strengthening our shared interests? What is the role of civil society actors on both sides of the Atlantic and private friendships in fostering a stable relationship?
In this discussion, Robin Quinville (Director of the Wilson Center’s Global Europe Program) and Dr. Martin Kilgus (United Nations Association of Germany–Baden-Württemberg) will explore the challenges and opportunities facing one of the world’s most important bilateral partnerships.

We are excited to offer a very special program for school classes in cooperation with the U.S. Army Garrison (USAG) Stuttgart and Stuttgart High School. German students (grade 8 and above) have the opportunity to visit the U.S. military base Panzerkaserne in Böblingen and experience American life in Stuttgart up close.
During their visit, students will explore the base with a guided tour offering a look behind the scenes of everyday life on a U.S. Army installation. The highlight of the day is a visit to Stuttgart High School, where students will meet American teenagers. From typical American features like hallway lockers to sports fields and the school’s cafeteria, students will gain authentic insights into a different school culture – and discover both surprising differences and unexpected similarities.
This program gives students the chance to engage directly with native speakers, practice their English in real conversations, and build cultural understanding through personal exchange. It offers a unique way to gain insights into American life here in Germany and is a valuable addition to any curriculum focused on language, culture, and transatlantic relations.
Transportation to and from the Panzerkaserne must be organized and covered by the school (please note that public transport to the barracks is limited).
Application process: Teachers can apply by February 28 with their class for the upcoming date. Only one school class can participate per date. The class will be selected at random from all applicants.

In June Let’s Read will discuss Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon (293 pp).
Private Investigator Hicks McTaggart sets off to find a wandering heiress, but by the time he realizes this is no ordinary case, he finds himself dragged from Great Depression Milwaukee to Hungary, where a world of spies, automatons, swing musicians, and occultists unfolds. Punchy and topical, Pynchon’s latest, and likely last, novel shows off his wise-cracking style to hilarious effect.
To celebrate the longer evenings of summer, we will meet in person for this discussion.

Du bist zwischen 15 und 18 Jahre alt und interessierst dich für die englische Sprache und amerikanische Kultur? Du möchtest am Leben einer amerikanischen Familie teilhaben und den Alltag an einer amerikanischen Schule miterleben? Dann könnte ein High School Jahr in den USA genau das Richtige für dich sein.
Während eines High School Aufenthalts lebst du in einer amerikanischen Gastfamilie und besuchst eine Schule vor Ort. Bei landestypischen Aktivitäten, Traditionen und Feiertagen bekommst du tiefe Einblicke in die Kultur und das Leben amerikanischer Jugendlicher.
In dieser Informationsveranstaltung erfährst du alles über die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten, drei, sechs oder 12 Monate an einer amerikanischen Schule zu verbringen. Wie wählst du eine Austauschorganisation aus? Welchen Kosten fallen an? Welche Finanzierungsmöglichkeiten gibt es? Und kannst du dir den Ort und die Schule selbst aussuchen? Wir beantworten diese und alle eure weiteren Fragen.
Teilnehmen können alle, die sich für ein High School Jahr in den USA interessieren. Auch Eltern und Lehrkräfte sind herzlich willkommen.

In July Let’s Read! will discuss The Greatest Sentence Ever Written by Walter Isaacson (80 pp).
To mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, we are reading this slim and very approachable book by Isaacson, a journalist and biographer. In it, he illustrates how the people involved in drafting the Declaration came to agree on the sentence stating that „all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.“ To round out this discussion, we will look at two excerpts from the Frederick Douglass speech “What to the Slave is the 4th of July?” and from the 1848 Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments.
