DG Cambridge is a platform that promotes dialogue and understanding on current affairs. It has become a melting pot of diverse perspectives, where people from different backgrounds come together to discuss and debate on various contemporary issues. The society’s events serve as a bridge between different cultures, facilitating cross-cultural understanding and mutual respect.

DG Cambridge was founded in 2011 and until 2014 the society’s primary objective was to create social occasions where members could converse in German (DG Deutschsprachige Gesellschaft), thereby fostering a sense of community among German speakers in Cambridge. However, the society’s events on current affairs, which were held in English, were attracting large audiences. This unexpected development led to a shift in the society’s focus.

The transformation of DG Cambridge from a German-speaking society to a forum for discussing current affairs is a testament to the society’s adaptability and its commitment to inclusivity. By conducting its events in English, the society has been able to reach out to a larger audience, thereby promoting a broader understanding of current affairs.

The society’s journey since its inception in 2011 is a reflection of the changing dynamics of our globalized world. In an era where information is readily available and the world is more interconnected than ever, the need for platforms like DG Cambridge cannot be overstated.

DG Cambridge’s evolution also highlights the importance of language in our society. While the society was initially established for German speakers, the shift to English has enabled it to cater to a larger audience. By adopting English as the primary language for its events, DG Cambridge has been able to extend its reach and make its events accessible to speakers of all languages.

DG Cambridge represents the spirit of our times - a spirit characterized by inclusivity, and adaptability. As the society continues to evolve, it will undoubtedly continue to play a crucial role in fostering a sense of community among its members, promoting cross-cultural understanding, and providing a platform for informed discussions on current affairs.
