A North Virginia University is to recreate and demolish the Berlin Wall.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany, George Mason University is to build a replica wall to give students – many of whom are too young to remember the fall of the real wall – an opportunity to participate in the construction, decoration and ultimately demolition of the new wall.
George Mason University is one of more than 25 universities to receive a grant to participate in the national Freedom Without Walls campaign. Like other universities participating in the program, Mason will host a range of events, from debates to lectures, art exhibitions (both on campus and at the Goethe Institute), a gala, a unity walk and the building and demolition of a replica of the Berlin Wall.
