As part of our 'Entscheiderreise' to Berlin this week, we took a group of UK education leaders to the 'Berliner Institut für Qualifizierung und Qualitätsentwicklung an Schulen' - sharing insights into the German education system & promoting German in UK schools. 🇩🇪
#MFL#Gimagine
When a language course disappears, so do the chances for students to see the world differently, connect more deeply and understand life beyond our borders. It's not just a loss to academia - it's lesser experiences, quieter voices, narrower minds. Languages make lives richer.
On Saturday, we exchanged ideas about teaching German in the UK with our network of teachers and GEMs at the Netzwerktreffen ‘Making the Case for German’.
Thank you to everyone who attended. We look forward to further strengthening our network!
@ncle_ioe#Gimagine
Only 7,105 Germans studied at 🇬🇧 unis in 2023/24. That's down 15% on 2022 & 45% on 2019. Similarly worrying are EU numbers (-21% & -49% respectively).
Erasmus & greater 🇪🇺🇬🇧 youth mobility are vital! Spending time abroad as a young person fosters invaluable ties & understanding.
📢 Deadline approaching!
Submit entries for our German Poster Competition by ‼️Friday‼️.
Primary and secondary learners, create a poster to share what German means to you! Include as much German as you can. https://t.co/ZlOHpAWO3U
