Berlin’s cosmopolitan atmosphere, cultural and intellectual riches, and solid educational tradition all play a part in an ECLA of Bard education. In the frame of ECLA of Bard’s Berlin programme, students and faculty come together to explore Berlin’s cultural heritage and continued development. Students studying art and aesthetics receive museum cards, while all other students can apply for museum cards and may attend selected dance performances, classical concerts, lectures, plays and Berlinale films at subsidized prices. Evenings out for events in Berlin often end with conversations together in a café.
