Hassan Said Motinga, a Bachelor of Education student at UNAM, transformed a late-discovered passion for teaching into a remarkable academic pursuit. With support from the Association of German School Societies and encouragement from UNAM’s German Section, he secured a DAAD bursary to attend a 6-week Winter School in Leipzig, Germany. His experience includes intensive language training and cultural immersion, aimed at strengthening his future role as a German language educator in Namibia.
