It can be helpful to divide your planning into three phases: pre-tour, on-tour and post-tour. For guidance finding local lecturers and instructors (history, theology, language, culture, etc.), contact the Institute for German Language and Culture, which is located in the Leucorea. This was formerly home to Wittenberg University, where Luther, Melanchton, and others taught! For more information on the Leucorea and to find out how they can assist you in a study tour, visit www.leucorea.de.
