GIMAGINE Award
for young learners

The Gimagine Award is conceptualised to allow learners to progress independently. However, if a teacher/youth centre leader and their group want to work on the Gimagine Award collectively, e.g. as part of their German lessons, the DofE’s Award or a German club, we’ve got your back: If you sign up as a teacher/youth centre leader with a group, all learners will be linked to your account. This way, teachers/youth centre leaders can monitor their learners’ progress and – if necessary – give them a little nudge when the learning journey slows down…

Our Friends of the Goethe-Institut UK are an Approved Activity Provider forthe Duke of Edinburgh’s Skill section! This means that DofE participants can complete a DofE approved section of the Gimagine Award (13 hours’ worth of German learning for Bronze/Silver, 26 hours’ worth of German for Silver) directly with the FGI UK who serve as a provider and assessor, uploading participants’ assessment reports directly to eDofE. Find out more here.

We continuously organise real-life activities and initiatives as part of the Gimagine programme to motivate and connect German learners across the UK. Sign up to our e-newsletter to never miss out on our offers! In our most recent Gimagine Award event, the First Finishers of the Gimagine Award – 8 students from two different schools – received the First Finisher’s Prize, awarded to them by the German Ambassador at the Sommerfest der deutschen Botschaft at the Goethe-Institut London!
