Dear Colleagues,

Spring is bringing a burst of activity, and we’re excited to share a range of new opportunities, programmes and events with you. This month, we’re especially delighted to highlight the launch of the National German A‑Level Class, for which we are currently seeking partner schools. Young people with no prior German knowledge are invited to apply for our exchange programme Kicking Off Connections and students and school classes can also explore career and study pathways with German at our upcoming Career Roadshows and Business Lunch event.
