GIU University Council Visits GUC




Date: Sunday, October 5, 2025



The GIU University Council recently visited DISK School to explore its exciting workshops! From Coding and Biology to Music, Chemistry, and Physics, this visit showcased incredible opportunities for learning and innovation.

As part of the visit, the council was introduced to the Sieger Explorers Center, a pioneering initiative established by the German University in Cairo (GUC) in collaboration with DISK (Deutsche Internationale Schule in Kairo). The center is dedicated to nurturing the talents and strengths of children aged 4 to 18 through a wide range of engaging and hands-on programs.

The workshops were organized under the umbrella of Sieger Explorers, a GUC-founded talent development initiative that partners with DISK to cultivate children’s and teens’ interests through hands-on, interactive learning. GUC has been dedicated to supporting children’s talent exploration programs, designed to inspire curiosity and unlock potential across a range of fields — from simplifying scientific concepts to encouraging creativity in the arts, music, and design.

With the opening of DISK, these efforts were consolidated under the Sieger Talent Center, launched in Summer 2024 as a specialized platform for educational innovation. Since then, Sieger has trained around 300 students, guiding them through a structured journey of exploration, discovery, and skill development. Through immersive workshops and experiential activities, Sieger encourages participants to identify their passions, refine their abilities, and gain confidence to pursue their aspirations.

These programs demonstrate GUC's and DISK’s shared commitment to fostering innovation, creativity, and early academic exploration in young learners.

Following the school visit, the German University in Cairo proudly welcomed the GIU University Council for an exclusive tour of the newly inaugurated Faculty of Dentistry on campus. This visit highlights GUC’s commitment to advancing education in dental sciences and providing students with state-of-the-art learning facilities.
