German Club Leaders

Als Alternative oder Ergänzung zu spontanen Schulbesuchen und einmaligen Präsentationen können Young‑Goethe‑Ambassadors die Rolle von Leitungen eines Deutsch‑Clubs übernehmen. In dieser Funktion organisieren sie spannende und motivierende Clubs für jüngere Lernende – entweder an ihrer eigenen Schule oder an einer nahegelegenen Grundschule. So können sie ihre Begeisterung für die deutsche Sprache weitergeben, Anfänger*innen unterstützen und zu einer lebendigen Sprachlerngemeinschaft beitragen. Gleichzeitig entwickeln sie ihre eigenen Führungskompetenzen, indem sie sich für ein Schulsemester oder länger an eine Schule binden und dort regelmäßige Sitzungen anbieten (wöchentlich oder zweiwöchentlich).

Advantages of Becoming a YGA

  • Take part in an enriching activity beyond school or university, gaining insight into education, cultural exchange, and outreach.
  • By leading workshops and speaking to classes, ambassadors naturally develop strong presentation, communication, and interpersonal skills.
  • The role helps ambassadors strengthen key skills such as organisation, teamwork, time management, and public engagement—useful for future studies and job applications.
  • Ambassadors are invited to support additional activities such as school outreach events, career roadshows, or Goethe‑Institut campaigns.
  • Young Goethe Ambassadors join a community of like‑minded young people. Previous cohorts have taken part in group training, peer‑exchange sessions, and multi‑day school‑touring projects.
  • Above all, ambassadors help younger pupils discover the joy of language learning and contribute to a more open, diverse, and multilingual society.
