Purposes: The projects encourage you to use the language more independently and creatively, and to customize your experience of the language and culture to your own interests, knowledge and circumstances.

The "Wir und unsere Musik" / "Ourselves and Our Music" project has several particular purposes; they are listed in the project description. One long-term purpose is to encourage you to see that German can be something more in your world than just a course that you take for a couple quarters.

Your project is due TWO WEEKS after your instructor officially activates it.
