Weekend Events at the GAHC

By Kelly Lao
We have a variety of great offerings for you and your family or friends this weekend! We hope you will join us for one (or all!) of these events!
Friday, Oct 17- 3pm & 7pm
Turner presentation at the Butterworth Center, Moline- FREE!

World-Class Physical Culture on a One Dollar Investment

 

Presented by Dr. Ed Thomas

 

The Quad-Cities led the way during the Golden Era of physical training from around 1885-1920, including the Turners Society and the Turnvereine or gymnastic unions. The methods, materials, and motivators of classical physical training systems from that period are being rediscovered nationwide, and this visual presentation will explore unique opportunities for the Quad Cities to once again lead the way in physical culture.

 

This program has been facilitated with the assistance of the German American Heritage Center, Davenport.
Sat. Oct. 18th 9:30-3:30
Free Teacher's Workshop from the Goethe Institute!

 

There is still room to sign up for this free workshop for Educators & Educators to be!

The workshop will focus on those in the fields of social studies, history, sociology, environmental studies, pre-engineering, sports and German language teachers.

A certificate for 6 hours of attendance credit is available from WIU for this event. The presenter and materials are furnished to us by the Goethe Institute, which is funded as a cultural arm of the German government and is high quality.

The workshop will include information on how you may qualify for a free, all-expense study trip to Germany. A 2012 recipient of this award came from the North Scott School District, and it would be exciting to see another area educator take part in the next round!
