Young Goethe Ambassadors are student role models who promote the benefits of learning German to young people and encourage younger students to learn German. They are prepared to share their own experiences of learning German and how they overcame any challenges of learning German. A Young Goethe presentation is usually wrapped up with a quiz and an open Q&A session.
