On Friday, 31 January 2025, German Ambassador Dr Hutter, the political studies class from the senior secondary section and some grade 9 learners gathered for a political exchange in the DHPS auditorium.

The opportunity for the discussion was the upcoming Bundestag elections and the situation in Germany following the vote of confidence in Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Dr Hutter first shared information on his personal career in the diplomatic service before entering into a lively discussion with the learners about the German parties in the election campaign.

One particularly interesting aspect of the conversation was the role of the media and its influence on the public perception of the political situation.

Both sides greatly appreciated the exchange and parted after an hour and a half, looking forward to future discussions.
A big thank you for the time and visit!
