German Week
18 – 22 January 2027
Following two successful editions, German Week returns for the third time in 2027, bringing renewed energy and fresh inspiration.
From 18 to 22 January 2027, the Goethe-Institut UK, the German Embassy in London, and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) once again invite schools across the UK to take part in a week-long celebration of the German language and culture.
Let’s come together once more to celebrate the joy of learning German, wherever you are in the UK!

Social Media Toolkit
Last year, in order to support your participation in our Social Media Campaign, we had put together a Social Media Toolkit.
This Toolkit is still available for you to use this year. It offers practical tips and inspiration on how to showcase your school’s involvement in German Week across social media and share your activities with a wider audience. Our aim is to co‑create a shared virtual presence for German Week and use this opportunity to jointly raise awareness for learning German and for language learning as a whole.
Join the fun!
Get involved- it's easy:
- Step 1: Browse our offers below. If you want to book, click on the sign-up page(s) below and register for the activities/book resource kits via the individual booking forms. If you want to book several activities (e.g. a Young Goethe Ambassador at your school, theater festival etc...), you will have to fill out a booking form for each activity. You will find respective booking forms or email adresses in the initiative's web pages.
- Step 2: Planning your own German Week activity at your school? We would love to hear about it! If you are organising an activity independently, even if you are not using one of our resources or taking part in one of our events, please let us know by completing the form below. This helps us get a fuller picture of how schools across the UK are celebrating German Week.
- Step 3: Post the results of your participation during German Week on the social networks of your choice, tagging the German Embassy UK, the Goethe-Institut UK and using the #ShoutOutForGerman and #Gimagine hashtags . Posts can range from short videos to pictures to infographics or anything else you can think of. (Photos and videos with or without children's faces according to your pupil’s image and video consent).
