In 1986, the German School was established for primary up to high school levels. The German Cultural House (Kulturzentrum) was founded in 1988 and has since been busy organizing concerts, conferences, art exhibitions to help promote German culture and language in Lebanon. The annual Kulturzentrum Festival is recognized by the Ministry of Tourism as an International Festival. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lebanese German University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
