The paper shows that experiential education and modern approaches to teaching German as a foreign language (GFL) share a number of characteristics, suggesting that experiential education ought to be integrated in teacher training programs. Based on the feedback received from participants in the experiential education project organised in autumn 2013 by the department of “Pedagogy for Primary and Secondary Schools” at the Lucian Blaga University, Sibiu, the paper demonstrates not only that important characteristics of experiential education and principles of modern GFL teaching coincide from a theoretical perspective, but also that this confluence can be experienced at an intuitive and practical level. The project is described in detail and recommended as a possible pilot for other networking projects on German-language teacher training in the Danubian regions.
