Welcome

flagsTwice each summer, villagers and staff meet at Waldsee, the German Language Village to celebrate “International Day.”  This gathering of roughly 2000 villagers, staff, parents and guests is open to everyone and requires no admission fee. It is a unique opportunity for villagers, parents, and the public to learn about the language and cultural immersion programs we offer — all at one site!

The purpose of International Day is to create a festival that:

  • celebrates in meaningful and fun ways the languages and cultures represented by the Villages;
  • promotes respect and tolerance of all who are members of the Villages community;
  • builds on the friendships that have been created among and between the Village programs; and
  • provides an opportunity for villagers, staff, parents and guests to be connected to the overall mission of the Villages.
