Postcards from Berlin–May 2025
Students share what their time in Berlin meant to them.

King’s offers for-credit field courses in Europe (Florence and Berlin) and in Mi’kma’ki with aspirations to develop more. Our goal is to raise $500,000 to continue, expand and enrich these offerings, and ensure their accessibility by providing financial assistance to deserving students who could not otherwise participate.
Your philanthropic support will provide for select class outings, an increased number of land-based programs and off-campus excursions and curb inequities in our students’ ability to experience the fullness of what King’s has to offer.
Learn more about this priority from Professor of Theatre Dr. Roberta Barker, BA(Hons)’96, and Master of Journalism student Molly MacNaughton, BJ(Hons)’24:
Students share what their time in Berlin meant to them.
Haeley Cook DiRisio says the course was more than just reporting. It taught her that "we need to be the storytellers for those that have been silenced."
For Taryn Neufeld, Florence was like "experiencing the longevity of human creation and existence within the modern world."
Theory and lived experience expand Emily Frank's world.
Reporting in Mi'kma'ki immerses students in a month-long understanding of Indigenous communities.
In Berlin field course, Jen Hall discovers Germany is in the process of figuring out how to live with the past "constantly, unavoidably, in all areas of life."
The first Reporting in Mi'kma'ki course won Best Multicultural Story in the Academic category at the Canadian Online Publishing Awards.
"There is no way to move out of the intensity ... Every moment is layered with the past."
