Antje Mahintorabi came to the VWGS in 2018, initially as an artist of “theatre in classroom”, to give workshops in acting and music. In 2020, she began working as a teacher and studied to become a teacher of German as a foreign language at the same time. Together with the school management and colleagues, Antje developed the MAL program (“Music and Language”), which focuses on the integration of music into the learning process of a foreign language. In the early stages of development, when children are not yet able to read and write, auditory perception plays a crucial role. Music proves to be a powerful tool for teaching language skills in a playful way. Since November 2023, she has also been the program manager of kultur.WIR, which offers bilingual events for families.
