How is the pandemic expected to affect the full-week excursion and the local field-trips?

The program will endeavor to carry out the excursions as planned, but will make adjustments as conditions may require. Travel will take place by bus and/or train, subject to all pandemic-related measures that the companies running these busses or trains have put in place. Lodging at the excursion locations will also be adjusted and managed, both by FU-BEST and by the lodging facilities themselves, in accordance with pandemic-related requirements. The program and its participants will be required to observe whatever regulations are in place at these various sites. As for local, inside-Berlin field-trips, these will be conducted in accordance with any regulations put in place by local authorities and by these specific sites (museums, memorial sites, government institutions, etc.) themselves.
