BaselConnect will be hosting Language Cafés in a new venue in October. Our Language Café is designed to help Basel's international community practice German (and enable native German speakers to practice other languages). There is no entry fee and it is open to all (BC members and non-members alike). Registration is necessary, as places are limited. Sessions are typically two hours long, where the first hour is conversing in German and the second is conversing in other languages. We recommend German level  A2 or above.

Tuesday, December 16, 18.00 - 20.00

Secure your slot by registering here by December 14 at the latest.

Tour of Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibit - December 14 

On December 14, 15.00 - 16.00 we will be joining a guided tour in English of this fantastic exhibit. The tour is included in the price of entry of CHF 18 (free for holders of the Museumspass). 

We highly recommend this pass for anyone living in Basel. The annual fee of CHF 149 gives you free admission to over 345 museums, castles and gardens in Germany, France and Switzerland.

Because this tour is open to the public, we will not be the only ones attending. So that we can form a sub-group of BC community members, we kindly ask you to register here. We plan to go for a drink afterwards–perhaps a Gluewein at the Christmas market on Muensterplatz–to discuss our impressions and get to know each other. You can indicate in the registration form whether you would like to join us.
