The Goethe-Institut offers a range of opportunities and materials to support the teaching of German language and culture. Follow the appropriate link below to find out more about upcoming initiatives:

  • Wuschel - an immersive exhibition for primary schools exploring the creative world of Axel Scheffler. Along the way, pupils will pick up German words, though no prior knowledge of German is required, making the exhibition suitable for all primary schools. The exhibition can be experienced either on-site as a German Day at the Goethe-Institut London or as an exhibition kit directly at your school.
  • German Days at the Goethe-Institut Glasgow - groups of school pupils can experience a taster day, a workshop on culture and society or a careers event (note a small charge per pupil applies)
  • Gimagine Award - offers an introduction to the German language while at the same time promoting global awareness and intercultural skills and can be used as option for fulfilling the Skills Section of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (“DofE”)
  • Accompanying teacher for the International German Olympiad 2026 - German teachers from UK state schools can apply to chaperone the two finalists for the IDO taking place in Mannheim this July
  • German Clubs - discover club materials and support to help you start a German club.
